Mr Okraku in an interview with Accra-based Angel FM, Mr Okraku called on the two biggest clubs in the country to work hard to get fans to patronize their games, insisting that once that is done, it will have a positive effect on stadia attendance at other match venues when the other teams are playing.
However, in response, Nana Yaw Amponsah made the argument that Asante Kotoko can only do its part when the right atmosphere is created by the GFA in a tweet.
According to him, his club cannot build heaven on earth.
“In 2009 (14 years ago), GHALCA in collaboration with PLB and GFA held a seminar at the Accra Sports Stadium to ascertain why people were not attending league matches. I was invited by then GHALCA Administrative Manager Mr Kurt Okraku as a Guest Speaker.
“A committee was later formed to implement ideas put forward by all speakers. I’m sure President Kurt Okraku would be the right person to tell us where that committee report is and of course, has the power to implement the same now that he is GFA President.
“I bet you those ideas won’t cost $1m to implement. The integrity of sports hinges upon the uncertainty of results. Kotoko and Hearts cannot build a Heaven in a Hell,” Nana Yaw Amponsah stressed.
