Africa Sports reports that Kumasi Asante Kotoko bagged a colosal 113m cedis in their epic Africa cup winners match with Ndimba SC of Gabon. The paper says tickets for the match, which recorded one of the highest attendants at the Kumasi stadium in recent times, attracted ?8,000, ?5,000 and ?3,000 for the various stands. The story says even though security by Kotoko officials was tight for the over 60,000 who trooped to the stadium, some few managed to jump the gates. "Some people are simply born-criminals who are as incorrigible as Lucifer himself," quotes a Kotoko source which said that management will in future deal drastically with such offenders. In a related story, Gabriel Opoku-Ware who was voted best player in the Kotoko-Ndzimba match took away 300,000 cedis in cash under a MOBITEL sponsorship package. Gabriel, who was a tower in defence in the match had also to his credit a MOBITEL with a full year's free rental. GRi
