Soccer Mountaineers, Okwawu United have appealed to the National Sports Council and the Ghana Football Association to rescheduled the rest of their Star Premier league matches for the Accra Sports Stadium instead of their home ground Nkawkaw.

Dr. Felix Frempong, Chairman of the Club told the Ghana News Agency in an interview on Thursday that the current state of the Nkawkaw Park, makes it unsafe and unprofitable for Okwawu to continue playing at that center.

"Parts of the walls at the Kwakwa Park are broken, sits are not non-existence making both fans and officials uncomfortable during matches.

Dr Frempong who took over from Kwame Ofusu Banfo (Sikkins) before the start of the season noted that since all stadiums and national Parks are under the care of the NSC, it would not be out of place if it re-locates Okwawu, looking at the present precarious situation it finds itself in.

He said currently Accra Hearts of Oak and Great Olympics alternate the use of Stadium on Sundays while Liberty are the only team that uses the facility on Saturdays and said Okwawu could alternate with Liberty.

The Medical doctor said even in times of clashes, NSC can shift matches involving Okwawu to even Kumasi if need be.

He said it is no fault of theirs to be at Nkwakwa where facilities could not be matched with that of either Accra or Kumasi and that an attempt to deprive Okwawu of using the Accra Stadium would be unfair.

The Chairman said it is unfortunate that teams in the Eastern region in particular have been deprived of a good playing pitch with adequate security.

Reacting to the allegation that the club has failed to pay the NSC its 10 per cent share of gate proceeds, Dr Frempong said the District Sports Development Officer does not have the necessary facilities to develop the pitch.

He said since Okwawu maintained the pitch and other facilities at the stadium and yet received low gate proceeds, it becomes very difficult for the club to defray the high cost of maintenance, let alone pay the NSC which duty it is to maintain the pitch.

The Chairman recollected an instance where the District Development Officer presented a bill of 600,000 cedis for just clearing of weeds on the pitch.

"With all these it would be very difficult to cater for these bills from the scanty gate proceeds and still pay 10 per cent to NSC", he said.

"It's not the desire of the club for things to happened this way, and I hope that each one of us (Okwawu and NSC) would play its role effectively for a cordial working relationship
