[quote=McReggae][quote=bwenyenye][quote=McReggae]Too late brother, it's already somewhere, too hot a news item to stay away!!!!.....1987 kulikuwa na supersport????[/quote]

Boss tell them. No True Gor fan watches the game on a Television!! Why and you can experience it?:-d :-d :-d :-d :-d :-d

Gor football is not watched. It is experienced![/quote]

......they should have done it silently without having to make is a news item, now even the viewership on TV will reduce, I know so many K'ogallo haters who still always have to watch their matches!!!!![/quote]


We will go to the stadium!! He he kwani how many guys have DSTV by the way? 6K very expensive!

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.

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...

[quote=TAZ]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!!!!

@ 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.
