''As they say that all fingers are not equal, many people want to watch match live but don’t have financial power to do so and that was why you will see some people climbing poles and walls outside the main-bowl to watch matches, it shows that they have interest to watch match but not buoyant to buy tickets, that is we appreciate the council boss gesture more,'' Oluwafemi explained.

He added that ''continental ticket is what we want from this team this season,. I’m talking the minds of we supporters, the government that is sponsoring the club and every stakeholder in the state.

''I’m sure our players know what is at stake when they qualify the team for such tourney. Historically Shooting Stars made larger percentage of players that have become great in Nigeria''.
