18 week season... 6 weeks UG, 6 weeks TZ, 6 weeks Kenya, Just 7s action, 24 weeks of 7s rugby, Giving players the rest of the year to recover and get ready World rugby is ignoring 7s but East Africa can own it. Plus, we won't need to worry about 15s ticket prices #RugbyKE

Yes, we want our players to get funds down to them, So why not use our most visible version of the game to generate revenue? Even Cash prizes can be bigger! Which sponsor wouldn't want visibility 24 weeks a year across 3 countries? Even 5 or 6 if we include Rwanda and Burundi

Even clubs will have a larger pool to recruit from... Remember, all this at club level. Because I do want the sport to get better... Wouldn't this be a sound Idea? Because for a country with the bottom 5 cheapest rugby tickets in the world, It's still expensive for 15s.

I'm really confused now, Apparently it's okay for some fixtures to be 500 and others 200 or 300, Single games mind you So it's okay to pay 4k for 8 games... Or 1.6-1.8k sh for 8 games if it's specific fixtures But it's wrong to pay 1k for 8 games, For "small clubs"? #RugbyKE

People will spend 5000ksh on alcohol by lunchtime yet complain about ticket prices.

Kenya’s women’s Kabaddi team are dominating in India. Four wins from 4 matches see the girls go top of Group B, ahead of Sri Lanka 🔥 #CommonwealthKabaddiChampionship

VIP during the #RAW is 1k, Kama #Floodlit43 imekuja Sana, Shika ticket fresh na tupatane union. But will you? Ama juu ni women's rugby, pia VIP is too expensive? Or do we just accept that we don't value our rugby and move on. #RugbyKE

Fact remains, #RugbyKE values XVs rugby less than a bottle of alcohol, Yet want it to go into a #RWC where teams invest hundreds of millions, We have 7s, and it goes back to, Why not focus on 7s? We clearly want it, why not have a longer season? More venues, more sherehe

After the Impala Floodlit finals. There's a 21 day period before the Kenya Cup officially kicks off. Clubs in the Kenya Cup should use these 504 hours to introduce fans to their squad, new signings, debutants, technical benches etc.

I did call it, I hopefully expected that a fan of the game would value a full day of the game, to at least more value than a bottle of alcohol, But, It's the hope that kills.

Oh my.... Looks like we have another week about complaining about gate prices coming up... #RugbyKE #Floodlit43

There was season we had Friday night rugby in #KenyaCup, couldn't let myself miss one... Had the best seats, the numbers in attendance were reasonable... Not amazing, But rugby was played and we went home. No Sherehe, no afterparty, Just a bunch of fans there for the game.

Ah yes, The "kama unawasupport wewe ni adui wetu" Narrative. Okay then, I truly hope that helps fix the issues at your clubs... #RugbyKE

Tukubali hali yetu, We will never pay for 15s, 7s is what we want, because kuna Sherehe na afterparty na artist. It's in one location and fans arrive in numbers. We say 15s is the true game, but will never value it as it should be. #RugbyKE

It's all about "Rugby is dying" "Players wanateseka" "15s is being ignored" But wait until you ask the same about how much one values simply attending a game, Then it's too expensive... Well, why do you think the state of the game is the way it is? Newsflash: it's expensive

Comparing football revenue to rugby is just not reasonable, They gather funds for half a year every weekend... They always have numbers... Let's see a #KenyaCup game get those numbers, the we can do that comparison

A full day of #XVs rugby, Games begin at 10 am across two pitches all the way to 10pm. But no, Let's show up at 7pm after missing the whole value for the day for one(or half) game, then say the ticketing is expensive. #RugbyKE mtanionyesha Mambo🤣 Wacha 15k Iende tu kwa Ne-yo
