It is understood the organisers met on Tuesday and decided that the final will be in the Gunners' backyard. "We were supposed to be there (at the meeting); but we were never called. I'm told the game will be played in Lobatse, but if we want to be fair enough you can't take a team like Gunners to play at home against a small team like Motlakase. What is that? If they resolved it that way, then there's a problem. I feel Molepolole would be a neutral venue," said Motlakase chairman, Mangisi Segadimo.
However, Botswana Football Association (BFA) marketing and communications officer, Phakamile Kraai, who is in the organising committee said they have not chosen a venue for the final. After playing all their Coke Cup matches away from their Palapye backyard, Motlakase has spent P50,000 in travel, accommodation and food expenses in the competition. They visited Letlapeng in Ramotswa, then Modipane United in Modipane (slightly outside Gaborone), BMC (in Lobatse) and Santos in Molepolole. They feel if they had played some of the Coke Cup games at a venue nearer to Palapye, they could have cut costs.
