  • EBBY 7 years ago

    What happened to the use of boreholes? It's just a common sense that the stadium management can dig several boreholes inside the stadium to supply the needed water to maintain the infrastructure. There's no way they should re ...

    Why continue using scarce and expensive treated water for watering stadium grass? Somebody must think outside the box.

    We cried for this stadium to come to being,now maintenance is a problem.WHY Cape Coast Stadium must not be wasted away.The authorities in charge should make sure they maintain this facility well.

    Even before you get to the structures, the grass looks like a desert. Uboi! An apt summary of how the corrupt John Mahama and his equally corrupt NDC managed things in Ghana.

    I have been in both Cities and i can tell you that, Tamale far ahead of Cape coast. After Accra, Kumasi. Tamale is the next. Cape coast people are very hungry if you dont know.

    We are talking about a national waste of scarce resources and you are complaining about grammar! SMH, no wonder we are where we are.

    Joe, your grammar is no better. You write...some of our editors who edits...and you complain of someone else's grammar. Heal thyself.

    Hassan can you correct my grammar?

  • Kobina 7 years ago

    Joe, your grammar stinks just as that of the editor you've taken to task. You wrote "our editors who edits", which is grammatically a woeful expression. Remember, if you live in a glass house you don't throw stones.

    This common sense ,just drill bore holes and connect pipes to the WC's and water hoses to water the playing field.

    The rot is endemic in everything we do in Ghana. Maintenance is Greek to most of us and aesthetics is breaking news in our beloved country. Shame on the Sports authorities who trooped to Cape Coast to parade for the cameras d ...

    Hmmmmm. The bitter truth about we as Ghanaians is that baaaad aspect if our culture which I find deep routed. Very regrettable.

  • Joe 7 years ago

    What is Npp government doing about this? Common water too, they cannot get to flush toilet and water the green grass. They are ready to celebrate Ghana at 1000, but can't save this wonderful stadium.

    Poor planning. The construction of the stadium should have come with the installation of a mechanized borehole water system with purifiers to clean the borehole water up to specification before using it to water the grass. Th ...
