Somba-Banda described the revenue as encouraging despite missing the league\u2019s target by K12 million.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe believe that we will still hit the K500 million mark as teams such as Silver, Eagles and Mzuni FC will surely pull crowds in the second round,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Bullets Vice-Chairperson, Austin Kasito, was satisfied with the first round proceeds, saying Sulom had done an admirable job.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt just shows that Bullets have a large following. As Bullets, we also commend Sulom for doing a good job interms of gate management in the first round,\u201d Kasito said.<\/p>\n
Wanderers Vice-Treasurer, Chulu Mkangama, said the club was assessing the figures.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter that we will make an assessment from Wanderers\u2019 point of view and its implications. In some games, there was complacency for example, the<\/p>\n
Mzuni game there was a lot of pilferage, how can we get only K660,000? The gate managers must pull up their socks,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
