As the BTC Premiership experiences a serious decline in attendance at the games, several Premier League clubs admit that if the quality of the product is not up to standard, the turnout automatically goes down.

Although the trend kicked off last season, it continued where it left off this season with only a couple of games experiencing large crowds.

Traditional crowd pullers, Extension Gunners, Sankoyo Bush Bucks, Mochudi Centre Chiefs with the exception of Township Rollers have so far failed to pull crowds, a worrying trend for both the clubs and the Botswana Premier League (BPL). Only Rollers, who have been doing well on the field, have managed to pull crowds. Asked how they have managed to attract their supporters to games, Rollers’ spokesperson, Bafana Pheto said if the product is not packaged properly, people will rather stay home.
