I hear proposed new home ground for Tusker FC is Meru Kinoru Stadium. How true is this?

@jahman... confirm from your sources

Any positive effect on the game on those sides, assuming it is true?

@King, that is far fetched it the Tusker vs Talanta GoTV Shield Cup that was initially scheduled for Kinoru Stadium in Meru but will now be played at the Ruaraka Grounds!!!!

Its a high time someone saw the potential of establishing a soccer team in a town outside Nairobi, Thika United did it and are slowly becoming a real regional club, it makes business sense for Tusker to move the team to Meru and continue shirt sponsoring them. They are the league sponsors so they don't need to be present in Nairobi.

They were invited and refused to move. It was a bad decision. It may have been their best hope of filling the terraces with fans and thus getting some gate revenue.

KPL should have encouraged the move as well. Towns like Embu, Meru, Machakos, Nyeri, Eldoret, Kisumu, Mombasa etc are eager to have a team they can throw their support behind.

I thought Thika United has always been a Thika team.... But there was an idea to move them to some premises in Ruaraka... or was it Ruiru [near the sponsors' factory]

Any way, I'm not a football fan, so I don't even know whether they moved home.....

Any way, I think it is about time EABL relinquished itself from this team and then adopted another one from, say Meru or wherever. Sort of thing that Mumias did and too on AFC.

It makes marketing and cultural sense! Support a team that has potential to pull in a committed fan base. Your ,money can help improve performance and everybody gains.

Who is a die hard Tusker fan?

The best way for counties to have teams in the Premier league is to form one from the ground up, hii maneneno ya adoption will be a hard sell.

They were to move to Kinoru Stadium but I hear FKF declared the stadium unfit for league matches.

I can confirm that the story is true. The move however is on hold until the stadium is renovated and approved by FKF. They are looking for a fan base and Meru district has been recording the highest beer sales in Kenya for Years...

Heard the coach say so in the morning, good thing is the fans may throw miraa in the pitch instead of stones

That stadium has been deemed unworthy of KPL matches. Good move by KPL. It will force counties to upgrade their stadia. I have been to stadia such as the one in Nyahururu which are not even fit for cattle grazing, wash rooms are a mess and the perimeter fence has dozens of holes for fans to sneak in.

Shame on Thika. Their team has been in the league for a decade. Visiting fans like GM and AFC bring good business to local merchants. But the county has not deemed it fit to upgrade the stadium. Thika should consider playing at Bata stadium Limuru.

Eti this is what Kinoru stadium will look like after rehabilitation.



And all this is supposed to come at a budget of Ksh 120m. smile smile

But on a positive note, Thank goodness for devolution. At least now counties are thinking of upgrading facilities.
