Board Member of Hearts of Oak, Frank Nelson has confirmed the club has appealed against the ban imposed on them by the Disciplinary Committee (DC) of the Ghana Football association (GFA).
The Phobians were banned from having fans on the stands in their next three home matches and fined GH¢ 12,000.00.
Two of their officials, Barimah Atuahene and Opare Addo were also banned from all football related activities for two years fined GH¢ 6,000.00 each.
The club had 72 hours to appeal the decision of the DC, and they have exercised that right, and has pleaded with the disciplinary committee to tamper justice with mercy.
“We had 72 hours to appeal which happens to be from Thursday to Tuesday and we have shown respect by allowing our two gentlemen concede and plead guilty and Accra Hearts of Oak we equally came out officially to rebuke our supporters that we do not accept the act of violence because we all know the history of violence in this country,” he told Joy FM
“The authorities need to look at it and find a way to resolve this issues.
“We don’t say we don’t deserve to be punished because we have accepted that we have committed an offence but again let look at it and see the way it will be moderate because you can’t play Accra Hearts of Oak in an empty stadium for three matches.
“So we appealing to the disciplinary committee to tamper justice with mercy.”
Hearts will be hoping for a favorable response before they host Hasaacas at the Accra Sports stadium next week.
