WA ALL STARS SUPPORTERS LAUDED (GRAPHIC SPORTS, PAGE 11)

The Upper West Regional Sports Development Officer (RSDO), Iddrisu B. Ahmed, has commended supporters of Wa All Stars for the positive behaviour they exhibited throughout the period of the just-ended Glo Premier League.
He noted that the comportment by the home supporters needed to be commended because at certain point even in the face of extreme provocation they restrained themselved while rallying behind their idol club. Mr Ahmed made the observation in an interview with Graphic Sports in Wa.
He urged the fans to continue to show this kind of positive attitude since that was the only way they could help sustain the club in the elite division.
“Supporters must always bear in mind that when they misbehave and the team is suspended to play their home matches away it goes against the club,” he pointed out.
Inspite of all these, Mr Ahmed said the Regional Sports Council would not compromise on maintaining security at the stadium during matches.
Responding to a question on the development of other disciplines across the region, the RSDO appealed to indigenes to unite and form clubs at the grassroots.
He was not happy that some people in the region nurture teams to grow after which they sold the team to people from the Southern part of the country thus denying the region the opportunities to unearth more talents.
He hinted that his outfit was working round the clock to revive the Upper West games, indicating, however, that “we are constrained financially”.
He, therefore, appealed to the acting Sports Minister and other benevolent institutions to support efforts at improving conditions at the Wa Stadium before the commencement of the next league season.
