#Kwahu is a good teacher

[pushing500]

Yes!! That random transport pod crash victim from a while back finally left, and now Wasbum are our allies!! That means all we need for the first piece of the map to the Archonexus is a buttload of wealth...

Ivy has an idea, and the Jones boys are very eager to reach the Archonexus... perhaps setting up a "fancy" hotel for a few quadrums is tolerable.

While Mechi, Alistair, and the mechanoids get to work on The Jones Brothers' Point Fleascale Hotel and Casino, Kwahu decides to go over faction relations with Ivy. Who knows? Perhaps she'll take over as our resident socialite one day!

And then, instead of helping with the construction, Kwahu decided to start fiddling with the brand-new card table. Silly boy... at least we know it's appealing, I suppose.

DECLINE OF SPECTATORS IN OUR LOCAL FOOTBALL

It is on record that the game of football was introduced into the Gold Coast region towards the close of the 19th century by merchants from Europe. Sailors during their leisure times played football among themselves and sometimes with a select side of the indigenous people. The popularity of the game spread like wild fire within a short time along the coast culminating in the formation of the first football club, Excelsior, in 1903 by Mr. Briton, a Jamaican-born Briton, who was then the Head Teacher of Philip Quaicoe Government Boys School in Cape Coast. Over the years other football clubs have been established. These include Accra Hearts of Oak, Asante Kotoko, Great Olympic, Kwahu united amoung others. In the subsequent paragraphs I will discuss the reasons why spectators have reduce when it comes to Ghana local football.

Unfortunately that is not the case in Ghana anymore. It is therefore necessary we look at some of the cause of this dwindling football patronage. I believe strongly that attendance to premier league games in the past was high because only a hand full of Ghanaians had access to foreign sports channel. The local television network did not show foreign league games. In fact the only television was Ghana Broadcasting corporation (G B C). The existence of numerous private television companies and radio stations in Ghana is a very good thing though and has played a vital role in giving Ghanaians football fans access to the foreign league. But to some extent they have had a massive negative impact on the Ghana premier

Based on the unfortunate experience of Ghanaian spectators on May 9, 2001, at the Accra sports stadium claiming 127 lives has generated fear and panic in our local football. For this reason most Ghanaian spectators finds it difficult to go to our various stadiums to witness our local football. I remember those days when football fans showed up at the Kumasi sports stadium very early in the morning to stand in long queue to purchase ticket for a game that will kick off 10 hours later. People outside Kumasi had to come a day before a matche to sleep at the stadium. I also remember the days when Ghanaian football fans were willing to extra money by purchasing their ticket on the black market to enable them watch Ghanaian premier league at the stadium. Also, many Ghanaians prefer watching English premier league, Spanish la liga,Italian serial Germany Bundesliga games on televisions than to go the stadium to watch between say Kotoko and Hear of Osk. Interest in the local league clubs play their games with just a hand full of football fans in the stands. It is obvious that the Ghana premier league cannot survive if attendance continues to decline at such a drastic rate.

Moreover Ghana have average players, currently, there are no special players on like the first where people go to the stadium to watch their favourite player. Gone were the days when Charles Tailor, Don Bortey, Steven Oduro and Isaac Boakye were ruling when it comes to the local football, due to this reason most people rush to the stadium just to see the performance of these players.

Now lets look at mistrust of referees, Ghanaians don't trust the refrees because they think they are corrupt and that they are manipulated by the some official. For instance, it is belived that when hearts is playing kotoko in Accra , the refree blow the wristle against hearts even if the fault is not from them.

The mismanagement of fund is also one reason why people don't really watch the football. This is because Ghanaian think their players are not well paid and that the officials squander all the money. For example Torgbe Afede has the biggest share in Accra Hearts of oak but refused to pay the players well.

Now that i have spoken about the reason why spectators have declined, I will give a possible solution to this problems. I suggest that, educating the referees to avoid partiality will encourage spectators to trust the local football. This way, they will be on their guard when it comes to cheating. They must also be paid well to avoid bribery and corruption. Most of the referees are not well paid so if an official pays them a huge ransom they will gladly take it and do as they want.

So now, we all know that, most local players in Ghana lack sports kits. This is because they are not well paid by their management and for that matter it goes against the player. This does not encourage the player to give in their best.

In conclusion, if all this things are taken into consideration there will be an improvement in spectators when it cones to the local football.
