Ahead of the South African Telkom Knockout final against Bloemfontein Celtic, Bidvest Wits coach Gavin Hunt has lambasted the quality of the pitch at Princess Magogo Stadium.The Clever Boys mentor believes the pitch is not in tip top quality, but hopes the weather will be suitable for a good game of football.
Hunt revealed that they sent a team representatives to inspect the pitch at the KwaMashu Stadium this week.
“Shew‚ shew‚ shew. Listen‚ it is what it is. We’ve got to concentrate on the rules and play football,” said the coach.
“But it is a bit‚ it is a bit…you know. It threw everybody a curve ball‚ didn’t it? It was like‚ ‘Yuh‚ OK’.
“The pitch has been dug up last week because there were teams training on it in the rain. So the pitch is not great.
“We saw it, we went there yesterday to have a look at it - it’s an open area. So please God the weather is good.”
The 12000-seater venue will host a major cup final for the first time on Saturday at 18:00 (CAT).
