gbam!!! u just said it all

Well. Ever since I tried to watch the Nigerian league, I noticed that most matches were fixed. Particularly the home matches. I noticed that no home team lost. They either Won or drew.

I know a referee, what he told me made me uninterested in the Nigerian league.

In Kaduna we have two stadiums. ABS and Township stadium,two clubs that play Professional leagues but no promotion

Insecurity for both officials, the away team & their supporters. A situation where there are just a handful of security at venue will simply encourage anarchy especially if the home side is losing.
secondly, No adequate marketing cum publicity of the team to even the city or town where they are talk more of the nation.
Thirdly, Poor financial renumeration of players hence the best in the leagie tend to jump ship at any given opportunity.
Fourthly, Poor training facilities and lack of continuity.

These in addition to what was listed above

@all. Thnk u guys. I thnk wt this few answers, I can proceed. Once again, thnks!

I grew up as a Sharks fan in Port Harcourt. I still go to the stadium till this moment. One thing I feel that scare people aware from the stadium is security. But, things are beginning to change, fans have started returning to the stadium because of an improvement in the stadium in regards to security. Having said that, the Wednesday fixtures are too odd for fans view since the matches are still played by 4pm. And majority of fans should still be in their work places or returning back.
