"It was a pre-assessment that was meant to help Chicken Inn who are our representatives in the 2016 Caf champions league before a high powered Caf delegation comes and do another assessment.
"We are expecting them to come soon and with the help of these expects that we came with, we noted that there was need to get rid of metal bar goalposts at Luveve stadium.

"We suggest that a wall be erected right round Luveve Stadium".
