The Premier League Board (PLB) has announced tough decisions for clubs whose match venues and offices do not meet standard requirements for the 2010/2011 season. Welbeck Abra-Appiah, Chairman of the PLB declared in his address at the fifth annual PLB Awards Gala Night at the Banquet Hall, State House, that clubs who fail to match with the standards will be treated with no 'kid gloves'. He said his outfit will be compelled to revoke the match venue status of clubs whose match venues fall short of the requirements and those clubs would be relocated to other venues. Serious concerns have been raised about the sub-standard nature of some of the Premier League match venues whilst the dormant and under-equipped condition of most club offices has affected transfer of information between the PLB and the clubs and vice versa. The PLB, according to Mr Abra-Appiah will embark on a vigorous public education in respect of the rules and regulations of the game whilst plans are advanced to set up a library to ensure effective record keeping. Ms Akua Sena Dansua, Minister of Youth and Sports commended the participating clubs for their performance throughout the season, whilst emphasizing on the need for club officials to educate their supporters to eschew acts of violence and hooliganism at match venues. Kwesi Nyantakyi, President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) described the 2009/2010 Premier League as one of the most competitive in the history of Ghana football since the champion was only declared on the final day. He pledged support to improve officiating, which has become a "stinking canker" in their quest to grow the game. The climax of the event was the presentation of a brand new Tata pick-up vehicle to Aduana Stars for their historic feat by Minister of Youth and Sports, Ms Dansua. The debutants, who emerged the dominant force at the Awards Gala also scooped prizes in the Best Coach category - Herbert Addo, Most Promising Player - Godfred Saka and Best Goalkeeper - Stephen Adams. Runners-up Obuasi Ashantigold had their Chief Executive, Cudjoe Fianoo being adjudged 'Best Chief Executive Officer' and joint winners with Accra Hearts of Oak in the Best Functional Premier League Club Office category.
