Tsholotsho For Vic Falls?
TSHOLOTSHO Football Club could be playing their homes games away from Bulawayo next year with the club seriously considering relocating either to Beitbridge or the resort town of Victoria Falls in efforts meant to have more crowds.
Iziqholo Zezhwane have been making constant losses from their home games in Bulawayo where their average gate takings have not exceeded $300 except when playing against Highlanders, Dynamos or Caps United.
The club pays match officials $900 and atleast $300 to the police, forcing the club leadership to dig into their pockets.
“Beitbridge is a bit too far for the team and those people don’t even know us. Yes we might excite our South African based supporters to drive across but there is no guarantee on that and besides some don’t even have passports which might be tricky for them to cross over only to mired in trouble when going back,” said club chairman Mlamuli Phiri.
Inside sources said some members believe going to Victoria Falls, a tourist and football crazy town which is starved of premiership football, will be the ideal destination.
“Victoria Falls people love football and this is evidenced whenever there is a match at Chinotimba Stadium regardless at what level and which teams will be playing, the stadium is always full to capacity so maybe the team needs to take premiership football to that place,” said an insider.
