The sign reads. &#8220;Ranguma finish the stadium. How many times must you be told ? &#8220;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The KPL top encounter between Gor Mahia and Tusker which was originally planned for Kisumu will now be played at the City stadium on May 4.\u00a0 The decision was made in order to give players a break from travel.<\/p>\n<p>However work on the perimeter fence in Kisumu is still not complete. Hopefully it will be complete by July when City stadium is no longer available. Construction there has been going on and off since 2009.<\/p>\n<p>The decision to play at City will likely disappoint Kisumu city dwellers where the club has an incredibly fanatical fan base. Perhaps the most fanatical club fans in Kenya are Gor Mahia fans in Kisumu. This has been true since time immemorial. Even legendary coach Len Julians once marveled at how fanatical fans in Kisumu were.<\/p>\n<h3>Tickets<\/h3>\n<p>According to futaa.com, Big Brother Events and Ticketing firm will be in charge and they have confirmed that the tickets will be going at Kshs. 500 for the VIP and Kshs. 200 for the terraces.<\/p>\n<div>The tickets will be available on match day, at the City Stadium from 0900hours at\u00a0big brother branded vans.\u00a0There will be no advance tickets.<\/div>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>Return leg<\/h3>\n<div>Unlike in the opening leg where TM Frank Ouna utilized the regulat line-up, it would probably make sense to rest some players. This is especially true for the likes of Sserunkuma, Kizito, Calabar and Akumu who have been in international duty. Why not deploy Blackberry whom fans would like to see regain his form from 4 years ago. Not to mention Kopany whom fans have heard is a promising player but have not seen in action. Then there is Obwoge, Daniel Onyango , Joel Bataro and others who are perfectly capable of beating Tusker.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/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\/gor-mahia-to-play-tusker-at-city\/\"\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>The KPL top encounter between Gor Mahia and Tusker which was originally planned for Kisumu will now be played at<\/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-4673","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4673","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=4673"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4673\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4673"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4673"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4673"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
