PSL in fortunes boom
Harare Bureau
THE 2011 Castle Lager Premiership, spiced by the arrival of a number of sponsors, triggered increased interest among the fans with more supporters paying to watch the championship.
An average 2 500 fans paid to watch every Premiership game last season and almost $2 million was grossed from gate receipts during the season.
The gross revenue from the gates was almost six times more than what the PSL teams grossed in a bleak 2010 when only $323 867 filtered through the turnstiles.
The first Harare Derby between giants Dynamos and CAPS United broke all the records for match attendance as 26 678 people paid to watch the epic encounter.
In reality, there could have been more than 30 000 people at the National Stadium as questionable gate controls, which resulted in many fans forcing their way into the stadium, blighted the accounting process.
