Accra Hearts of Oak Board member, Alhaji Braimah Akanbi has cautioned the clubs fans to learn from their stadium ban.

The 2015/16 Ghana Premier League (GPL) leader’s were hit with a fans ban by the Disciplinary Committee (DC) of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) after water bottles and other missiles were thrown onto the field of play during their 1-3 home defeat to Wa All Stars.

Mr Akanbi who was present during the unpleasant scene, has therefore called on fans to learn from the mistake and the heavy punishment imposed on the team and not repeat the act anymore.

“Players have nothing to do with this but rather the supporters but the punishment has been meted out onto the club and thus we have got to learn from this. Football is changing, football is a big business and people are investing into it,” he said.

“These investors won’t like to be associated with such violence and it is high time club supporters learn and be educated on hooliganism and the negative effect it has on all affiliated with football,” he added.

Hearts played their first game of a two match ban on Wednesday when they defeated Sekondi Hasaacas by a lone goal to stay top of the GPL table after 12 games.
