P. Gurung  - Congrat ANFA   |85.159.201.xxx |2009-09-02 13:24:58 It is of courzse a good new for Nepalese football lovers to witness foreign teams playing in our ground. But it is very unfortunate that the standard of ground facilities, modern amenities, information and public announcement system which are required in a stadium is still not yet improved. The ground is uneven, no turf layed, gets muddy when rains, chairs are rotten and parapids are full of dirt and stains. Wonder what message foreign team will take home and what about NAYA NEPAL scenario (dusty and garbage full of streets, street vendors, stinking main places with people relieving openly, etc. etc.) Powered by !JoomlaComment 3.26
