ANXIOUS Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) are to pay the sum of #1,000 to watch the matchday 5 explosive game between Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries FC of Lagos and Kano Pillars, reports NaijaSportsXtra.blogspot.com.
The game which is billed for the Agege (Temple) Stadium will kick off by 5pm local time and under floodlights.
It was gathered that ticket price for the VIP stand that use to cost #500, will today sell for #1,000 while the #200 ticket price for the Popular stand remains the same.
A top profile source in the Olukoya Boys camp stated that:"We know the game will attract a lot of fans to the stadium owing to the caliber of team MFM FC of Lagos is playing against, Pillars.
"The club need to profit from the game, as it seeks to generate revenue. Mind you, the tie is also a night game, so the resource spent in buying diesel to power the floodlights will be got from the gate taking proceeds.
"We expect both fans of MFM and Masu Gida to troop into the Agege Stadium in their thousands as they will get value for their money spent."
The last time they met at the 'Temple Stadium', the game ended in a stalemate.
