  INDEED THE STADIUM WAS ONE OF THE BEST ON THE CONTINENT IN 2007. BUT I THOUGHT WE ALL KNEW THIS WILL HAPPEN.
  IT WAS JUST A 9 DAY WONDER
  THIS ARTICLE SHOULD BE BACKED WITH PHOTOS

  Our colonial past still haunts us. Everything Government, Stop it. This is what happens when an over-burdened govt is supposed to handle everything. How many people attend matches? Are attendances ever announced so that knowledgeable people can make meaningful assessment? By the way how
  much of the gate fees reach the govt?
  EUFA matches are sponsored by businesses. Govt. only is not the answer.

  I don't want to hear anything about ACCRA. That capital is the most laziest ever above all odds.
  Please swallow your text in regards of that blood suckers capital, they are all one in their appreciation vice. Nothing more. All regions sport stadium need FACE LIFT. Accept the fact and stop that OREO talk.
  Without BA you are nothing,
  without ER you are nothing,
  without WR you are nothing,
  without AR you are nothing, etc etc
  so stop bragging about your fact sheets.
  One single sport Stadium naming after Ghana’s first sports Director, Ohene Djan and you are sick of it?
  The HELL YOU ARE.
  Ohene Djan's ghost is not haunting the stadium but their hypocrisy is killing them.
  LONG LIVE ALL REGIONS.

  Poor GFA they cannot even maintain the number 1 soccer-playing pitch in Ghana. Why am I not surprised, because I never believed these guys could live by international soccer standards regarding sports administration, which includes the maintenance of playing fields, in the case of soccer. All they do is talk, talk, and talk; ask, ask, and ask; want, want, and want. Have they seen soccer pitches in England, I am sure they have not; otherwise allowing Wembley to deteriorate is unthinkable. If the GFA cannot manage soccer in Ghana, and they have left stadiums to rot, after the millions that were spend to build or renovate them, I can only say these guys are really good for NOTHING. They should be ashamed of themselves. What a useless bunch. It does not have to come to these, because Ghana has the manpower to manage sports to the level of international standards; but they are not given the chance to do so. Instead, corrupt and incompetent types are appointed to overee soccer and its installations. Why am I not surprised, because this is no news, it is nothing new, it is simply the lowest of standards officials aim at. Pitty! The GFA runs Ghana soccer and its facilitie like the local clubs run their affairs. Aiming for higher standards is too much for them, so they aim for the lowest possible denominators. FIFA ratings also consider the quality of playing fields, which it seems GFA is unaware of. Too bad, isn't it!
