In a yet another demonstration of commitment by the Provincial Government to
improve the culture of support for Cape Town based professional teams, MEC
Jacobs has pledged a 1 000 tickets to local fans to enable them to attend the
second round match between Vasco Da Gama and Bush Bucks on Sunday, 28 May at
Bellville Velodrome stadium.
Mr Jacobs says "Vasco Da Gama has progressed very impressively this season
and have staged an exceptional performance away from home when they thrashed
Bush Bucks 2-0 in the first round a fortnight ago. This intervention from
government is an effort to ensure there was a good turnout of home crowd to
cheer Vasco to victory when they lock horns with Bush Bucks in the second
round; a match that has far-reaching consequences for the prospects of Cape
Town based professional teams. I am appealing to the soccer community of Cape
Town in particular to come in their numbers to support Vasco. I also want to
take this opportunity to wish them success in their quest for the Premier
Soccer League (PSL) status"
Details of how the tickets will be distributed will be made available to the
radio stations of Cape Town. MEC will distribute 500 tickets equitably to all
radio stations and listeners are encouraged to listen and make sure to contact
the stations of their choice between Friday afternoon and Saturday. Another 500
tickets have already been distributed to schools.
