By Gracious Akujobi The League Management Company (LMC) has again, the kick-off date of the 2013/2014 Glo Premier league season by two weeks.The league which ought to commence on February 21-23 has been changed to give room to the clubs to conclude their registrations.
“We have agreed to accommodate the clubs popular request to extend the registration process period to enable the clubs tidy up documents for certification,” LMC Chairman, Nduka Irabor, was quoted as saying.
Irabor says the LMC has thus resolved on a two-week delay for the kick off following representation from clubs which cited their peculiar nature of funds release by governments, their principal sponsors & the observation made by LMC stadium inspection teams.
He spoke further on this, “We have considered reports of the stadium facilities inspection teams and the need to allow the clubs two-weeks period to correct observed deficiencies in their facilities”
“Hence the league earlier scheduled to start February 21-23 will now start on the weekend of March 7 through to March 10” Irabor stated.
The LMC Chairman has however warned the clubs that there will be no forward extension after this period, stating that the league will start with only clubs that meet the minimum requirements.
