THE SEASIDE CLIMATE...IDIOT. IS THIS ESSIPONG STDIUM THE ONLY STADIUM TO HAVE BEEN CONSTRUCTED CLOSE TO THE OCEAN? FOR SAFETY REASONS MOST LARGE SPORTS ARENAS IN NORTH AMERICA ARE CONSTRUCTED CLOSE THE WATER BODIES. YOU ASSHOLES DONT HAVE A SYSTEM IN PLACE FOR MAINTENANCE SO YOU BLAME YOUR INEPTITUDE ON OTHER FACTORS. IF YOU DONT HAVE A SYSTEM IN PLACE TO CLEAN YOUR HOMES EVERY WEEK. WHAT WILL HAPPEN? ISNT THIS COMMON SENSE? YOU CHOSE TO IGNORE REGULAR MAINTENANCE N OW YOU ARE BLAMING THE SEA....

RENOVATION WAS DONE IN 2020, 2018, AND Essipong built in 2007. There should be SPECIALIZED TRAINED PEOPLE PERMANENTLY employed to do the basics on daily basis to protect the integrity and readiness of the place at all time, especially the pitch. It has to be constantly watered with a sprinkler system not a water tanker that can cause erosion. And, the grass has to be cut every two weeks with a riding mower with adjustable blade, not langalanga. This simple task is not rocket science people. Churches, concerts, and the teams that play there have to pay heavy to offset the maintenance cost. NO FUNCTION SHOULD BE ALLOWED THERE IF THEIR OFFER DOEST NOT COVER THE POTENTIAL WEAR AND TEAR/DAMAGE.

Don't mind them they just know how to use big, words and parade around with advanced degrees but nothing to show for it. The one word that is missing from Ghanaian culture is maintenance. We build new structures and then pray and expect the structures to maintain on their own. Whatever are appropriated for maintenance if any at all, is quickly squandered and the vicious cycle continues unabated.

It’s about time government stops using taxes that cld go into education, health , agriculture or road infrastructure to support stadiums .Football is entertainment and it shd not be the core duty of government. Our stadiums lack consistent maintenance cuz they don’t make enough revenue. These idiotic Hearts ans Kotoko fans won’t go to the stadiums. All they know are insults on Ghanaweb and social media .

Common sense should tell us that, a country with warm weather conditions(sun) and heavy rains can cause extreme rust and cracks to our seats and pail the grass. So why not install hybrid pitches and roof the stadia, and crown them with electronic advertising boards at the perimeters?, junkies will never think this way, they will still install natural grasses and leave the stadia unroofed, and in no time they are deteriorating again. We have lots of !d!0ts, old-fashioned and villagers in positions.

Master, NPP has failed Big Time and no amount of words can convince CAF.
The fact still remains that the Black Star is out of AFCON and World Cup qualification matches.Tnx.
