NKARENG MATSHE | PSL risks losing fans forever with senseless ban

The Moses Mabhida Stadium, the venue for the DStv Compact Cup semifinals staged last Saturday, looked deserted, bereft of the usual buzz and excitement which had previously been seen when the iconic Durban venue hosted cup finals or big matches.

You could hear technical team members shouting instructions from afar, and those who would typically get away with foul language because it would be drowned out by the sound of the vuvuzela are obviously disadvantaged. But my impression was that football without fans is decidedly dull. Very boring. Sure, your bench and teammates would get up to offer encouragement and applaud a piece of skill, but it’s not the same. Something was missing.

Why the PSL has found comfort in this kind of tedious arrangement is a mystery to me. They consistently blame the government’s stipulation which limits attendance to 2,000, but the league has not done anything to show they want to end this.
