Why can't we renovated the abuja stadium? Why can't the national stadium be renovated? What happened to Liberation stadium in port harcourt that was home to Eagles matches before now?

To me, everything is been politicised annd our football is suffering for it.

That stadium is crap!

You could see disgust in the faces of the Congolese players.

The Abuja stadium has been abandoned for that refugee camp.

The Uyo stadium what about it?

Enugu stadium?

onuwaje: It's not about the stadium u knw... most tyms u have to consider things like airports,hotels(standard ones) and road network.. also u have to consider security/protocol/safety measures.. u av done well by voicing ur view but these other places u listed do they have
1.Airports?(not airstrip/or runway)
2.Standard hotels for foreign teams?(i mean standard)
3.good road networks( I guess not)
4.security/safety and protocol measures (I leave that. For the house to answer)

I believe calabar can offer most of those I guess

the port harcourt new stadium under construction is crap. that stadium is a dissapointment and a waste of money it is outdated while underconstruction, An 18th century stadium design in the 21st century Amaechi needs to be flogged.
The Akwa Ibom state stadium under construction is the answer.

look at the pictures the difference is clear between Amaechi anachronistic design and Akpabios post modern design.

Of the states/stadiums i listed, which of them do you think don't have what you asked?
Re: Is UJ Esuene Stadium Calabar The Most Suitable Stadium We Have? by rhames(m): 1:39pm On Sep 07, 2014
This man is very funny and i think he just wasted time asking this pitch or which one will be better for the Super Eagles next match. Accept defeat in plain terms and pray that the next match will be an easy victory( which i doubt as a football fan) for our dear Super(Suffering) Eagles. Learn how to handle defeat. Despite the Brazilians trailing by seven goal in the last world cup, The home fans still gave a standing ovation to their team. grin
Re: Is UJ Esuene Stadium Calabar The Most Suitable Stadium We Have? by honeric01(m): 1:41pm On Sep 07, 2014
Afam4eva: I have said it before that the Calabar stadium does not project our image as a country that well. Our main national team should be playing in a world class stadium. That notwithstanding, i wonder why this issue of stadium always comes up whenever we perform badly in a match. I remember how people condemned the choice of Kano as the venue of our Germany 2006 qualifiers against Angola just because we lost. If we had won convincingly, the choice of Kano would never have come up. People have alkso criticized the choice of the Abuja stadium is the past citing the fact that the fans are too bland and that the city is not fit to host the SE. No matter where it is taken to, people will complain as far we are not doing well. Let's just make sure we play in standard stadiums irrespective of the location.

Did you read the post well or you are posting before reading? i am not against the state hosting the super eagles but the standard of the stadium is dropping drastically and the state government or whoever is managing the stadium is not doing the image any good. the pitch is becoming a shadow of itself and no longer camera friendly. i hope you can spot my points now?
Re: Is UJ Esuene Stadium Calabar The Most Suitable Stadium We Have? by IYANGBALI: 1:44pm On Sep 07, 2014
The most suitable stadium in Nigeria is in sambisa forest,I wonder why we aint playing there,the name alone will put fear in the minds of our opponets
Re: Is UJ Esuene Stadium Calabar The Most Suitable Stadium We Have? by honeric01(m): 1:44pm On Sep 07, 2014
ideyvexnow: Asking questions like this topic, is what is so wrong with many Nigerians. We like to only remember bad things and easily forget good things.

When the Super Eagles were winning their previous matches in Calabar, why didn't you ask questions like this.

Now that they lost only 1 match out of over 40 matches, you come now to criticize. You didn't even consider the fact that our football house is
not in order and that our coach is out of contract, volunteering to work without pay,and that all this brouhaha can psychologically affect both the coach and the Super eagles.
All you can focus on is criticism. Na wa for you oooo.

For me, failing 1 out of over forty exam questions will still give you 99% which is equivalent to an A score.

Comprehension! is the post about the performance of the SE?

SirChotas: I think it's about the fans. Home crowd. The turn out in Calabar has been consistently great. Far better than what we used to have at the National stadium in Abuja. There may be doubts about the spectatorship that would be found elsewhere. And then, our players have been known to complain about artificial pitches ( why I think they've ditched the Teslim Balogun stadium.)

UJ Eusene stadium has a capacity of 18,000 while Abuja National stadium is more than 40,000, what you think is "crowd" in Calabar is likely less than half of the number of people that come to watch matches in Abuja. you need 2.5x number of people in Calabar stadium to fill up what we have in Abuja.
Re: Is UJ Esuene Stadium Calabar The Most Suitable Stadium We Have? by Reference(m): 1:52pm On Sep 07, 2014
Quite frankly the Cross-River state government has taken Nigeria for a ride. They have not invested adequately in infrastructure. They have not shown any returns for the huge amount of publicity, hospitality and tourism income that has accrued to them from all our national teams.

If they cannot do it let them lay the charge on at least the hotels who are making a killing. In the future the FA should open annual hosting bids for all cities with the best financial and infrastructural packages. No more sentiments. That pitch played against us yesterday. It is high time governments chased after the FA not the other way round. With the trophies won recently our football is more marketable than ever before especially to failing politicians who wish to launder their sordid images since the game is as potent and hallucinating as narcotics.
Re: Is UJ Esuene Stadium Calabar The Most Suitable Stadium We Have? by Suarezilla(m): 1:56pm On Sep 07, 2014
No it is not..It's just a myth surrounding it that we have never lost a match played there (not until yest). But now some other venues will be tried out..mayb we can find a fortress somewhr else
Re: Is UJ Esuene Stadium Calabar The Most Suitable Stadium We Have? by 14teenK: 2:06pm On Sep 07, 2014

Re: Is UJ Esuene Stadium Calabar The Most Suitable Stadium We Have? by Krasid(m): 2:17pm On Sep 07, 2014
The stadium used yesterday was an eyesore.Nigeria has a lot of good stadiums, so i wonder why the UJ Esuene stadium is always used.I suggest that the uyo stadium should be used for super eagles games immediatelely it is completed.
Re: Is UJ Esuene Stadium Calabar The Most Suitable Stadium We Have? by Atouke: 2:18pm On Sep 07, 2014
