“Those days when Hearts of Lions were struggling with venue issues, when work was still ongoing at the Kpando sports stadium,a t a point they opted to play some of their games at the Hohoe sports stadium , and they hosted some major games there including,t heir game against Hearts of oak, so in terms of venue I don’t think we are going to have issues at all. “

“We try as much as possible to connect with the coperate environment ,to connect with business , to connect with local business ,smaller businesses in Hohoe and everybody is playing a role to ensure that the finances of the club is okay.
