I am most internally grateful that Orlando Stadium is upgraded. It carries a rich history of this country and its football. It’s an absolute beauty and Diski is now back ko Kasie.Well I am more concerned about the big game that is coming this Wednesday. It’s the high riding Mighty Buccaneers (Orlando Pirates) against the most expensive outfit in Africa (Mamelodi Sundowns). My main worry is that this game will be played at the Super Stadium in Attredgeville. Given what transpired there when Kaizer Chiefs played Supersport United, I start to have some goose bumbs.
Only one entrance was used for the big game for all the supporters on the day. It was chaos and a very big mess. As to why only one entrance was used still beats me. My main concern was that the supporters kept on streaming into the pitch for the entire first half of the game. I tell you should have one team scored in the first half, there was going to be something else outside.
When the game ended, still we were supposed to use the very entrance as an exit. People could not take that and they created their very own exit on the other side and we could easily make it out the stadium. The fence was pushed down and a temporary exit was created as a result.
Now it’s this big game going to the same venue. I really have nothing against the Super Stadium, it’s actually a great pitch.
I am simply worried about this single gate issue and I hope that does not happen this coming Wednesday. We do not want to be on the spotlight with something that we could have avoided, more so now, when the 2010 world cup is about to kickoff.
