PAA JOE GETS TARTAN TRACK (NSEMPA, NOV 29, 2010, BACK PAGE)

By Kwame Asare Boadu, Kumasi.

ULTRA modern tartan tracks have been fixed at the Paa Joe Stadium, the official sporting grounds of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST).
The completion of the tracks has brought a dramatic transformation to the stadium.
Over the past three years, the stadium has been undergoing reshaping and the fixing of the tartan tracks has added much colour to the facility.
The rehabilitation started in the build up to the 2008 Africa Cup of Nations in Ghana.
Paa Joe Stadium was used as one of the training grounds for the teams that played in Kumasi in the Africa Cup of Nations.
The rehabilitation saw the pitch regressed and the stands painted.
With the completion of the tartan tracks, the pressure on the Baba Yara Stadium would be reduced to an appreciable extent.
The authorities of the university deserve commendation for supervising the project to a successful completion.
