Spectatorship away from Tarkwa will be challenging for Medeama- Dr. Tony Aubynn

Medeama Sporting Club Board Chairman Dr. Tony Aubynn has highlighted spectatorship as a major challenge his team will deal with this weekend.

The Mauve and Yellow side takes on Guinea’s Horoya AC on Sunday, September 17 at the Cape Coast Stadium in the first of two legs in the second round of games in the CAF Champions League.

Medeama had hoped to play the upcoming game at its TNA Stadium in Tarkwa but the plush edifice hasn’t been completed in time to host the game.

Speaking in an interview, Dr. Aubynn pointed to the effect of playing away from their home base in the crucial tie.

“That’s a challenge you know, our preference would have been to play in Tarkwa but the project (TNA Stadium) has not come to the finality that we expected from the point of view of timing so that’s a worry.”

However, he was still optimistic about counting on fans from locations close to Cape Coast like Takoradi and Accra to fill the Stadium.

“We are expecting that we have a teaming mass from all over Ghana to go and support because Medeama is representing Ghana.”

The Tarkwa side won its first ever Ghana Premier League title last season.
