Chiefs appeal postponed

Posted in News on Sep 17, 2005.

The Kaizer Chiefs appeal to Safa regarding the sentence imposed by the PSL following the rioting and vandalism by Chiefs' supporters at the recent Supa8 game against Bloemfontein Celtic at FNB Stadium, was on Saturday postponed until Tuesday.



Chiefs pleaded guilty at the initial PSL Disciplinary Hearing and were ordered to play home games against Mamelodi Sundowns and Black Leopards without spectators, fined R100 000 and a previous suspended fine of R45,000 brought into effect.



On Friday, the High Court postponed the game between Chiefs and Sundowns, which was due to be played on Sunday, pending the decision by the Safa Appeal Board.



FNB general manager Dennis Mumble estimated the damage caused by Chiefs' supporters in this matter to be "between R350 000 and R600 000."
