K’Ogalo ensured they kept the pressure on the leading pack after a 2-0 victory against FC Talanta but coach Mark Harrison was left disappointed with the turnout of fans.
“It is not a secret, all clubs in Kenya are facing financial challenges,” Harrison told GOAL in a previous interview. We were hoping that when the [restrictions are lifted] the supporters will come back to the stadium, but like you saw, we had about 300 people only.”
The British coach has confirmed he will have all his players from the Talanta game available for the Bidco fixture.
“I did not lose any player after the Talanta game, they are all fit and available for selection and all we want is to keep the winning momentum going,” Harrison told GOAL.
