This is however lower than the same encounter last year on May 13 which raised 3,108,800 with lower gate charges. The second leg encounter that was played in August raised Sh3.8 million.<\/p>\n<p>Going further back to 2011, the same edition of the mashemeji derby raised Ksh 5595900 million with much lower gate charges. On that occasion the reported attendance was 23484. In this year&#8217;s edition, only 18,000 tickets were printed.<\/p>\n<p>So why are the numbers lower this year ? Perhaps it is all the negative publicity. Club officials must work harder to counter this negative perceptions for example by highlighting the peaceful nature of Sunday&#8217;s match. Another reason might be the elevated gate charges.<\/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\/mashemeji-derby-gate-collection-lower-than-past-years\/\"\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>This year&#8217;s first edition of the Mashemeji derby raised Sh3,056,000 according to official numbers received by the club.
