Communications Director for Asante Kotoko, David Obeng Nyarko has charged fans to create a hostile atmosphere for away sides that will be visiting the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in the 2021/22 Ghana Premier League season.
The Porcupine Warriors will make a return to the Baba Yara Sports Stadium 18 months after the venue was closed down for renovation works.
As a result of the closure of the Baba Yara Sports Stadium, Kotoko were forced to play all of their games in the 2020-21 Ghana Premier League season away from home.
With renovation works finally completed, the Baba Yara is expected to be handed over to Kotoko for use when it’s officially opened.
David Obeng Nyarko, Communications Director for Kotoko, has called on the fans to throng to the stadium when the season starts and also rally behind the team thereby creating a hostile atmosphere to visiting teams.
“We are expecting our fans to be in the stadium but they shouldn’t come as spectators. They should create a very tough atmosphere which no club will come to Baba Yara and be comfortable” Obeng Nyarko told OTEC FM
“They (Fans) should come to the stadium to support, cheer and encourage the boys till the final whistle. They shouldn’t come with the motive to insult or submit a hash treatment on a player” He added
“We will continue to need the prayers and love they have for us. Let’s create an atmosphere that will help us grab all the maximum points that will make our season successful” He Concluded
The Porcupine Warriors are currently in Dubai for a preseason tour and will return before the start of the new season on October 29.
Asante Kotoko fans will have to wait until the second matchday of the 2021/22 Ghana Premier League to see their team play at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium as the Porcupine Warriors begin their campaign away with a trip to Dawu to face Dreams FC.
