Players of
Dolphins Football Club have threatened to boycott the Final of the Federation
Cup, if the Rivers State government fail to meet the commitment it made to
offset part of their outstanding entitlements.
The players made the declaration on
Friday as another drama played out shortly before their journey to Katsina Ala
to face Lobi Stars in the last game of the season.
The Rivers government had promised
to credit the account of the players this week, but has so far failed to do
so.
The plan is for the team to travel
to Katsina Ala, from where they will go straight to Lagos ahead of the Final
scheduled for next weekend.
But the players initially refused to
board the bus, as they told official 'we have not seen any alert'
But the captain of the team, Sunday
Rotimi, after discussing with the players, later announced that they will
proceed to Katsina Ala, but will head back to Port Harcourt and wait until the
payments are reviewed.
- The Federation Cup Final is the
last thing we can hold on to once that is played, we are not sure anyone will
listen to us, Rotimi said.
