According to michezoafrika.com. Kidero says that his office has already acquired a strategic partner who is working towards upgrading the City Stadium with immediate effect. This came after the club players and officials who were paying Kidero a visit at City hall requested that Kidero upgrade the stadium which hosts most of Gor Mahia&#8217;s home games.<\/p>\n<p>In most cases, there are simply not enough seats for the throngs that attend Kogalo home matches. So most late arrivers have to watch the match standing. In 2010, the RFUEA grounds at Ngong road acquired sponsorship from Safaricom to construct terraces at the grounds which added 1500 to the sitting capacity. City stadium should be able to add at least 5000 seats. The last time city stadium received a major upgrade was in the late 1980s when the main stand was constructed.<\/p>\n<p>The club also requested that Kidero reduce the training fee charged by the Stadium. \u201cWe requested him to also help us raise funds ahead of the forthcoming expensive CAF Champions League and he agreed. The Governor further assured that his office will look into the issue of training fee and we will be sending an official letter in that regard.\u201d according to michezoafrika.com. Here again is one area where with some long term planning, the club could save money in the future by getting its own training ground.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/news\/williamson-denies-rumours\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground:  !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>courtesy of StarAfrica.com Triumphant Kenya\u2019s Gor Mahia coach Bobby Williamson has denied rumours circulating in Kenya that he s heading<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3253","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3253","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3253"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3253\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3253"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3253"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3253"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
