Shame on BPL, fanatics

A choice of the venue was questioned as thousands of supporters thronged the 8,000-capacity venue just less than an hour before the kick-off time. The long queues formed outside the stadium as many supporters had opted to buy tickets on the match day. By the kick-off time at 4pm, a crowd of football lovers was trapped outside the arena as tickets had been sold out.

A commotion started between the fans and the security personnel. With the ratio in favour of the impatient football fans, the tussle led to fans pushing the gate open, forcing their way into the stadium. Following the event, Botswana Football League chairperson, Nicholas Zakhem condemned the supporters for handling themselves 'dishonourably' on match day. Also, we found it shocking that the BPL only finds fault in the supporters without pointing a finger at themselves.
