FOOTBALL Shabana patron Sam Nyamweya launches scathing attack on club's decision to sack Sammy Okoth
Tore Bobe's patron has questioned the recent dismissal of head coach Sammy Okoth after a poor string of results.
The decline in stadium attendance has been a significant concern for the club's finances, with the advent of e-ticketing contributing to a boost in gate collections in previous matches.
"E-ticketing has significantly contributed to our gate collections, resulting in a substantial increase in revenue, especially during matches against Shabana and Gor Mahia, where we earned nearly Ksh 4 million," he said on KTN.
