Chiefs team manager Bobby Motaung confirmed to kaizerchiefs.com on Thursday that the Amakhosi will lodge a written complaint to the PSL about Chatsworth Stadium changeroom facilities. Chiefs played Golden Arrows at the stadium on Wednesday afternoon where they won 1-0.

Instead of being allowed to use the changeroom usually reserved for visiting teams, the Amakhosi were bundle into a smaller changeroom, where in the team could not fit and was also not cleaned. Numerous attempts by Chiefs, the match commissioner and the stadium staff to allow Chiefs to use the usual visitors changeroom was ignored by the home team, instead the ball boys were given preference and were given the much bigger visitors change room.

Motaung anger

An unhappy Motaung said to kaizerchiefs.com about the incident, “we have played many times at the Chatsworth Stadium and are always happy with the facilities there. We even use the ground to hold training session before matches in Durban, on Wednesday they bundled us into a room which could not pass as a dressing room as it was small and looked like it not had been used in a while. We protested this and the home team were not interested in solving this problem, there is all this talk about our league being a professional league but how can we term ourselves as such if teams are handing out such treatment to each other”.

Confirmation

The Amakhosi did speak to Chatsworth Stadium staff who too were at a loss as to why the home team would not want to allow Chiefs the use of the visitors changeroom. Motaung has confirmed that the league would be receiving a formal complaint in writing at the start of the new week. As he added “we brought up our complaint with the match commissioner prior to kick off on Wednesday and will send the league a letter on Monday. To me the room we were given can not be termed as a change room and the matter needs to be dealt with, despite this treatment we still won the game”.
