We will go to the stadium!! He he kwani how many guys have DSTV by the way? 6K very expensive! The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

Now, the teams they play against, will they also suffer loss of TV income?

Am not a fan of football; I think with a business mind. Losing live coverage on DSTV will not change the outcome for Gor. It will also not change for the "followers" [I hear that Gor has no fans; it has followers]. It might not even change the income for the club this season. But what about the future? Sponsors will get jittery about being linked to a club that doesn't get live coverage on DSTV... Think about that. Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

KPL with 16 equall membership signed a five year deal worth about shs 890M with supersport In this deal each KPL team is to earn about shs. 2.6M every year, unless they change this provision, K'ogallo and their opponents will still earn their money!!! ..."Wewe ni mtu mdogo sana....na mwenye amekuandika pia ni mtu mdogo sana!".

Remove K'ogalo from the KPL and it collapses...kweli/rongo? ask any team who play them, they make a killing....Thika charges 300Kshs in that trodden stadium, Karuturi charged 50Kshs in Naivasha and the fans paid 100Kshs to help the club raise money to improve their stadium....
Not airing the matches may not impact on the club that muc, maybe on supersport.....how many fnas watch these games live? and countable probably watch a match ex-Gor...
Hooliganism ni mbaya, but which big club does not have them? in Europe they have just been controlled if not fully....that is what Kenya needs to do. If the holliganism of ManU-gu of yesteryears was dealt with by banning screening, where would the league be?? there are other ways of punishing e.g the way IDAC handed the match to ulinzi or a fine will do...

Here's what i'd like Gor fans to explain to me...why do you think Gor's fan base has increased for the past two seasons?.....nothing to do with your performance on the pitch. It is Supersport through their coverage who made people leave the comfort of their homes to watch the game live, its all about exposure. How will football scouts get to know of our players without TV coverage? The truth of the matter is that very few clubs (Mathare, Tusker, Sofapaka, KCB, Ulinzi) can survive without SS sponsorship.
Why would Supersport sponsor KPL if they can't broadcast matches?

Seriously????....and they finished number two last season, and the crowd increased as thair position on table improved, c'mon TAZ!!!! I am not discounting the sponsorship of SS, fact they are also in ti for business, stopping to air Gor's matches was always the easier option, the hard which is supposed to be the most important is how to stop crowd and hooliganism trouble, it's been done somewhere!!!! ..."Wewe ni mtu mdogo sana....na mwenye amekuandika pia ni mtu mdogo sana!".

Seriously bwana Taz, hapa umenoa...SS came on board because the fan turnout was on the rise!! They will sure loose out on not airing these matches...We have been going for these matches even bila SS, so when SS jumped on board, some "fans" were definitely attracted....

@ Mc Reggae....If it weren't for SS football fans (including Gor fans not hooligans)would still be following their clubs through gazeti. Two seasons ago it would have been absolutely impossible to even convince a lady to accompany you to any football match but nowadays they probably know more on KPL than most of us.

I believe it was very irrational for SS to stop broadcasting Gor matches since the club is already being punished by IDAC and none of their equipments was ever destroyed during the 2 incidents that occured. Someone is trying to settle a score with this team and its very unfortunate all in all the fans have passion n maybe it may work in their favour since most people will now have to attend the stadiums to watch the game live Kenya ni yetu sisi sote
