He said there was the need for all Premier League Clubs to institutionalize the out-dooring of newly recruited players at the beginning of each season to whip up the enthusiasm of football fans to fill the stands at the stadiums.

Afriyie said there was the need for the Club to embark on the same exercise at their home base in Berekum to ensure that the home fans get used to the players to boost attendance at the stadium.

Each member of the team was presented with their jerseys registered at the Accra Sports Stadium, on Sunday October 9.
