Countdown To The Carling Black Label Cup

Written By Unknown on Tuesday, July 24, 2012 | Tuesday, July 24, 2012

South African football fans have been turning up the heat in the 2012 Carling Black Label Cup campaign with 3-million votes cast in the past week!  This brings the total votes to over 18-million.

With the showpiece encounter between Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs at Soccer on July 28 drawing close, fans have been scrambling to get their favourites into the starting line-ups of the Soweto giants.

One major change from the previous week is the elevation of new Kaizer Chiefs signing Siboniso Gaxa to the starting line-up, along with Tefu Mashamaite, who replaces the injured Jimmy Tau.

But while the starting line-ups take shape, fans must also keep in mind that they will have the opportunity to vote for the first substitution for either side in the match as well.

Supporters will be able to vote for the first man off on either side during the opening half of the game, with a maximum of two votes per fan.

They can do this by dialing the toll free number *130*376# and selecting the team they wish to choose a player to substitute from.

They will then be asked to choose the position of the player – Goalkeeper, Defender, Midfielder or Striker – and then the actual person they wish to remove from the game.

If supporters try to vote more than twice, they will receive a message telling them that this is not possible.
The first substitution for each team will be made at the 60-minute mark, with the players to come in and out of the game to be decided by the regular coaches after that – Augusto Palacios for Orlando Pirates and Stuart Baxter for Kaizer Chiefs.

The best way to make a call on who should be brought out of the game is to be at the stadium, but that opportunity is fading fast for fans.

All of the R40, R60 and R150 tickets have been sold-out; all that is left is hospitality packages which are available at www.sail.co.za

And aside from the great football action, there will also be top South African entertainment on show as well, before and after the game.

Top local artists Chomee, Professor and Big Nuz will be busting their numbers out to get fans into the party vibe as the 2012 Carling Black Label Cup come alive on match day!    

Chomee is one of the country’s leading female artists and is nicknamed Soweto's Pop Diva, having been likened to the late Brenda Fassie. Her hits include Jiva Sexy, Cried all My Tears and This Is For The Ladies.

Big Nuz is a leader in the African Kwaito Hip Hop scene having played to fans across the world. The trio is the country’s number one Kwaito artists and has recorded hits such as Ubala and Umlilo.

Professor is another award-winning Kwaito star who has also played to full houses across the country and has a number of hit songs from the past few years.

Gates open at 16:30 and supporters are urged to come early to enjoy the champion day!
