Premier League leaders Hearts of Oak has written to Ghana Football Association (GFA) to change the fixture date of their match week 30 Ghana Premier League game against Legon Cities.
However, in a request letter signed by Assistant Operations officer of the club, Desmond Worlanyo said, the Phobians believe that for the sake of bringing back the love and purpose of fair play which is the mantra of the game, they request that their game against Legon Cities should be postponed to give them an equal time schedule with Asante Kotoko who plays Karela United on Wednesday.
“With Kotoko playing on Wednesday afternoon, they will have 72 – hour rest period ahead of our clash whilst we will have 42 – hour res period if we should play on Thursday. This would generate unnecessary reaction from our supporters and this has the tendencies of taking the shine away from the match.” The letter said.
“the Premier league competition is at a stage that has generated lots of interest and with our team in pole position on the league log, it will be most appropriate to have the game times well managed so not to granta perceived advantage to any team. Hearts and Kotoko has great history to protect and for the Football Association not to be seen as favouring any team, we think it will be most appropriate to reschedule our game to another day”
