Communications Director of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Henry Asante Twum, beleives the inconsistent performance of Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko reason for the low attendance in the ongoing 2022/23 Ghana Premier League season.
The ongoing season has witnessed poor attendance at the various stadia.
Speaking to Kumasi-based Kessben FM, the stadia used to be packed with Kotoko and Hearts of Oak games before kickoff.
He added that he regrets that the two clubs are struggling hence the reason for the poor attendance at the various stadia.
“With specific reference to Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko. The Asante Kotoko we know back in the day by 12 or 1 pm Baba Yara is full that sometimes people want to climb the poles behind the stadium to watch matches, Accra it was a similar story.
“I have noticed that these clubs have also lacked consistency in terms of their performance. I cannot recall a time this season when Hearts of Oak won three consecutive games. Similarly, I cannot remember the last time Kotoko won three games in a row.
“When a team lacks consistency, it discourages fans from attending the matches. For instance, after Kotoko defeated Kotoku Royals 5-1 in one week, they lost the following game. Similarly, after their impressive 4-0 victory against Accra Lions, they suffered a defeat away from home.
“In recent times, Kotoko won at home against Bibiani Goldstars, but then lost to Olympics and drew with Tamale City at Baba Yara. So, where is the consistency?” he said.
The matchday 32 games continue at the various stadia later today after Medeama SC came from behind to beat King Faisal in Friday at Akoon Park.
