Bandari devise goodwill initiative to entice fans during Eid

Football Kenya Federation Premier League side Bandari will reward their fans with free stadium entry during their Saturday match against Talanta.

The Dockers said the move is meant to appreciate their fans, and the reward will coincide with the Eid festivities.

Eid is a worldwide festival and celebration for Muslims. Eid ul Fitr, which means ‘festival to break the fast’ is at the end of the holy month of Ramadan, in which Muslims fast for a whole month

Since beating Ulinzi Stars 5-2, the Mbaraki based outfit has struggled to replicate the ruthlessness in goal.

They managed a 1-0 win over Kakamega Homeboyz in an away match before they were beaten 2-1 by Gor Mahia on their own turf. They followed up the defeat with a 1-0 victory over Bidco United.

Although they are 15 points behind the Premier League leaders Tusker, Bandari head coach Anthony Kimani has remained positive about their ability to win the title.

Talanta, on the other hand are with a win in their last five games. They lost by a margin of 2-0 to Posta Rangers before Mathare United outclassed them in a five-goal thriller.

The only occasion when they managed to pocket all three points was when they beat struggling Wazito 2-0.

Despite their off pitch financial woes, Talanta collected a point against AFC Leopards after a goalless draw. A further point was added to their tally after a 1-1 draw against Sofapaka.

When they visit Mbaraki, Talanta will be hopeful to win in order to move further away from the danger zone.
