The leadership of the Brong Ahafo Regional Circles Council (BARCC) says they are ready to host Kumasi Asante Kotoko as the club treks to their region this weekend to play as guests of Berekum Arsenals in the 5th week, 2011/2012 Glo Premier League encounter at the Golden City Park.

The Berekum team has been playing away from home since the start of the new season as a result of a three-match home ban that was placed by the Ghana Football Association last season following acts of violence in a league match against Liberty Professionals.

They have therefore been playing in Cape Coast since the beginning of this season. The clash with Kotoko on Sunday marks their return to their favourite ground – a match in which pundits have termed as the weekend’s top liner.

In line with a National Circles Council directive, the BARCC met earlier this week in Sunyani to plan for Kotoko’s arrival. Deputy Public Relations Officer of the BARCC, Nana Agyenim-Boateng after the meeting disclosed to Kotoko Express that Chairman of the BARCC, Kennedy Anyan and the group resolve to foot the team’s accommodation bills when they come.

“The BARCC also wishes to assure the management and its teeming supporters of the club that everything is under control as far as our match against Berekum Arsenal is concerned. We are also using this opportunity to advise our teeming supporters to comport themselves before, during and after the match” said Nana Agyenim-Boateng.
