What you need to know:

  • In my article last week, I was candid about Bandari being a professional club with unique features that make it stand out compared to other clubs in Kenya and invited other local clubs make trip to the coastal town for bench marking. This was taken positively.
  • An aggressive  membership drive would market the club. Like ardent fan Ali Mohammed Ali correctly said, Bandari should  entice fans with subsidised registration fee.

Global fan base is very important for football clubs because it brings with it mutual economic and developmental benefits.

Football fans are the main reason why the game has developed such a huge following worldwide.
