Richards Bay FC have been banned from using their Richards Bay Stadium home ground for two years by a Premier Soccer League (PSL) disciplinary committee (DC), but the club are confident required repairs can be done speedily for a return much sooner than that.
TimesLIVE is informed that the prohibition, handed down this week, can be lifted immediately if the club and the Richards Bay municipality meet certain requirements bringing the stadium, part of the city’s uMhlathuze Sport Complex, back to PSL standard.
Items GladAfrica Championship side Richards Bay were charged with, apparently include water dripping through the ceiling in the players' change rooms, the ceiling panels being broken in the referees' change rooms, toilets being broken and fire extinguishers not serviced.Being locked out of their home ground is a blow for Richards Bay, as it means the northern KwaZulu-Natal club will have to travel 170km south to Durban for their home matches until the issue is resolved.
“It's obviously unfortunate, but what is good is that we are working around the clock with the municipality to fix the problems, so hopefully we'll be back at the stadium,” Biyela said. “The long-term will be about six months, but we are confident that within 30 days the requirements to return can be fulfilled.”
