They are the league sponsors so they don't need to be present in Nairobi.
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?
Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.
