AJW does want TOO big of a match fee from dem BIG teams when we play them
The problem with T&T football is that there is not much real fan support, hence no real atmosphere at friendly games. When was the last time you saw a 25K crowd for a friendly game in POS? For intance, if Ja were to play T&T tomorrow in the Hasely Crawford stadium, would you even get a 5000 people showing up? Such a game in Jamaica is looking at a minimum 20K crowd, and if propely marketed, with top players involved would definately sell out the national stadium. That could easily pay each team US$100K. When Jamaica played Costa Rica in a friendly game recently on simoes return to coach us, there was 28,000 people in the stadium. Costa Rica would preffer that sort of atmosphere over playing infront of 500 people in Marabella.
Yuh well right meh boy! this generation of TNT ppl doh have no love for football @ all! i remember when intercol used tuh pack the stadium wid ppl, but now it look like all the yutes want tuh do is drink rum, run down woman and kill one another.
when i was ah yute, the savannah used to be full year round, now when i visit trinidad, if yuh see 50 ppl in the savannah yuh see plenty.
Lord have mercy .. I sweat around the savannah on a Tuesday and Thursday up till last year , and the savannah was FULL , with plenty small sweat alll over the place.. Dont know where you get your info from , just cool , maybe you went on a friday evening....
If you call that full then so be it, from what i saw it had one and two small sweat going on here and there,and yes i was there quite recent and yes it looked scanty to me , and no it wasn't ah friday, and no it wasn't raining either, it just didn't look full, and campared to how it used to be, it looked tired.
it also looked like there are no leagues in the savannah anymore, just pick up games. i don't know how old you are makie, and i'm certainly not trying to pull rank, but if you're younger than 35, then you certainly has never seen ah packed savannah except during carnival or independence.
