Clubs forced LMC to shift league kick off date--Irabor

CHAIRMAN of the League Management Company (LMC), Hon. Nduka Irabor has said that the kick off of the 2013/14 Glo Premier League season had to be shifted by two weeks based on the requests by some clubs.
The league initially scheduled to kick off next weekend will now be on March 7 as LMC granted the prayers of clubs which borders on registration and documentation.
"We've agreed to accommodate the popular request to extend the registration deadline to enable the clubs to tidy up their documents for certification," Irabor said.
He stated that LMC also acceded the requests on the shift in kick off date to take care of logistics adding that "We've considered reports of the stadium facilities inspection teams and the need to allow the clubs a two-week period to correct observed deficiencies in their facilities".
Irabor added that "there will be no further extension after this period and the league will start
with only clubs that meet the minimum requirements".
