Teams perform better when their fans troop into the stadium to watch them play against opponents, but the Abuja national stadium has yet tobe filled to capacity when Nigerian teams play international matches. But there's always a reason for every thing. The problem with the Abuja stadium is associated with the distance and lack of proper transport arrangement for fans to come and watch their teams play. Its good that the gates has been thrown open for the match against sudan this weekend, but the Nigeria Football Federation most put an effective transport system in place to enable fans have easy access to and fro the stadium.only then can the stadium be filled to capacity.
It is good to attract huge support for the Flying Eagles of Nigeria. We pray Ladan Bosso and his boys will do the country great proud this weekend. But do we have hope on the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN)or do we Hold our Candles Near to watch the march as all nigerians are not living in Abuja to enjoy free entrance to Abuja stadium?.
