I thank the club for giving me an opportunity to attend this workshop. It was an eye opener to me and I left the football house a different person. I look forward to attending the security officers’ training if I am given an opportunity together with other fans.
I see Express FC becoming a professional team that is run as a business if the right persons (professionals) are hired by the secretariat to follow the guidelines in this pro agenda.
