For heeding to their call to come to the stadium in their numbers, management of Asante Kotoko FC has dedicated the sweet victory over their nemesis, Aduana FC, to the vociferous fabulous fans that made it to last Sunday’s match.

In a telephone conversation with the administrative and acting public affairs manager, Ben Nti, he expressed his contentment and appreciation for the number of fans that turned up for the match.

Though he was still at the cash room of the Baba Yara Stadium tallying figures and crosschecking counterfoils of tickets sold, he was quick to say that the numbers that turned up was impressive.

“Even though the figures are yet to be finalized, the fact that the printed tickets were sold out gives us the feeling that the cash totals would be good”.

He says they adopted stringent measures at the gates and so it was very difficult, if not impossible for anyone to have cheated on the club.

On the performance of the team, he expressed joy that in the last two matches played, “it has been evidently clear that our players have a superior conditioning and so are able to run their opponents out of breath”.

“The fans too were supportive of the efforts of the players and so it would be selfish on our part if we shower all the praises on the players and their technical team. Everyone, from the supporter to everyone involved in Kotoko played their part excellently”.

“This is the more reason why I am happy with the fans for the way they first comported themselves and secondly supported the players to victory”.

With the Aduana threat scuttled, Ben Nti reminded the fans and all members of the Kotoko family of another threat that they need to deal with.

“We have told you several times that we believe in taking one match at a time and so having put Aduana at their rightful place by crushing them at the Baba Yara Stadium  as promised, we now have our eyes set on another sweet victory in Accra on Sunday”

“Just as the fans put all their energies in the match to ensure victory, I entreat them to go all out with their prayer support so the team as they begin preparation for Sunday’s match. It is a tough one, but I am sure that with our energies combined, the sky will be our limit”.

Signing off, he also paid tribute to the array of former management members and players who turned up at the stadium in their numbers to lend their fullest support to the team for victory.

“I saw Jerry Asare, Alhaji Njee, Sarfo Gyamfi and many others whom I cannot  mention here for lack of space and time. All these great sons of the club have really shown that together, we can achieve much as a team”.

“I want to urge them to continue with their support for the team as in unity lays strength,” he concluded.
