Amanfoo Giving up

A section of the normally highly dedicated Prempeh Old Boys who went to support our contestants in the NMSQ this year, particularly the Legon brothers, have just vowed not to go to the Quiz Hall again next year, until and unless Prempeh reaches the final. These brothers are of the view that our team doesn't deserve support if they let us down in the early stages of the competition. But how are the boys to progress to the final if they find themselves in a hostile environment in a far-off land like Accra where schools from the host city scoff at them?

Have we soon forgotten the noise the Accra Academy students made and how nerve-racking it would have been had our own old boys not been present? What about when the Presecans started singing that Prempeh is panicky...what if we had no support group there to motivate the boys? Are our Amanfoo saying that we should give our team support only when they are on the verge of winning a trophy?

Since when did this evolve to be a part of the Amanfoo philosophy? In fact, it will be un-Prempeh for us to go into the next competition with such an attitude. The contestants of tomorrow are watching.
