Kotoko needs their own stadium – Duncan

David Duncan, head coach of Kumasi Asante Kotoko, has suggested that the club should get its own stadium.

The Porcupine Warriors uses the state owned stadium, Baba Yara in Kumasi for their matches in all competitions for the past five or so decades.

But David Duncan has suggested that the team’s ‘fortunes will be changed drastically’ if they have their own stadium.

“The performance of the team was good but I think if we have our own stadium like they [Aduana] do, Kotoko’s fortunes would change drastically,” Duncan said.

“I do not think any team can beat Kotoko if we also had a stadium like they do here. In that case, we would win every home game,” he added.

Duncan explained that a team with it’s own pitch enjoy undue advantage.

“I’m saying if Kotoko have their own stadium like it is here, I think that Kotoko will win the league as long as they want to,” Duncan repeated.

The former AshGold boss also refused to accept defeat, saying the result was not a fair reflection of the game.

“The performance of the boys was great and fantastic. I haven’t seen anything like this before from the Kotoko players ever since I took over the job,” he added.

Kotoko dropped to the foot of the table after their 1-0 loss to Aduana Stars on Sunday. They will host Liberty Professionals who trashed defending champions AshGold 5-1 at the Carl Reindorf Park on Sunday.
