League fans

SME-Written by: Ali Al-Basha
• If the match is (the derby) or (the Clásico); (Call it whatever you want), which brought together Muharraq and Riffa in the quarter-finals for the most expensive cups, but the number of its audience attendance did not reach seven thousand (persons); We do not expect the other (El Clásico), which brings together Muharraq and Al-Ahly, to exceed that much, and the maximum it may reach is ten thousand. I don’t think it’s more than that!
• Therefore, these matches can be accommodated in one of the two stadiums, Khalifa Stadium or Muharraq Stadium. In order for the public enthusiasm to surround the matches, and the player does not feel that he is playing in the shadow of almost empty stands, and therefore the proposal to modify the condition of the stadiums of some clubs; It is considered a rational solution that must be studied and implemented quickly.
• When the public attendance is compared to what the situation was like in the seventies and eighties of the last century; It does not seem to be very unfair, because the capacity of the stadiums at that time was proportional to the public attendance, and when the matches were moved to the National Stadium; The spaces in the stands were very large; Even in the final El Clásico matches, the number did not exceed ten thousand!
• I believe that with the exception of the Muharraq fans; And if Al-Ahly returns with its weight to the stands as its team enters the real competition, the fans of the other clubs will remain in normal attendance and can be accommodated in the stadiums that are less accommodating than the other stadiums. Therefore, Dr. Askar and Engineer Al-Othman were, in a previous period, about expanding the stadiums in the clubs realistically and based on it.
• This does not negate the trend towards building the large stadium planned to be established in Sakhir. Within the expected sports city; Because that stadium is for major sports and national festivals, as well as the possibility of hosting part of the 2034 World Cup matches hosted by Saudi Arabia, and we will not hold back on that part, and Bahrain will undoubtedly be an oasis for the camps of international teams.
• However, the masses cannot change their loyalties; Therefore, it belongs to Muharraq and Al-Ahly, and these loyalties are passed down from generation to generation. Negative results may make her absent (modesty) at times, but she quickly returns to appear and support whenever she sees her regaining her stardom. Results are important to attract attendance, and this also applies to the results of our teams whenever they are positive.
