Despite the ban from the Disciplinary Committee of the Ghana FA, vociferous Hearts fan Aziz Haruna Futah insists that he will organize his Musical Chapter O group to watch Hearts matches at the Accra Sports Stadium.

Hearts have been fined GHC 12,000 and also told to play their next three matches at the Accra Stadium behind closed doors.

This was after violent home fans threw missiles on the pitch, halted the match and held match officials hostage after their 3-1 defeat to Wa All Stars on 03 April 3, 2016.

Public Relations Officer of the club Kwame Opare Addo and chairman of the National Chapters Committee Barima Atuahene, have each been banned for 24 months from football related activities and fined GHC 6,000 each.

But Aziz Haruna Futah insists he will go against the ban to support his dear club.

“I want to be emphatic here. I will organize my Chapter O members to go the stadium to support Hearts in our home matches. We will sing for the club and nothing will happen,” he said.

“They [The FA] can bring the military there to arrest me but Ernest Thompson will be in court to defend our action. The punishment is too harsh,” he added.

Hearts have however indicated their readiness to appeal the decision.
