Support the game or else!
Tuesday, May 13, 2008 COOPERS PEN, Trelawny — Unless the CONCACAF World Cup qualifier between Jamaica and the Bahamas at the Trelawny Multi-purpose Stadium is a financial success, the Jamaica Football Federation (JFF) might be forced to reconsider scheduling games at the venue in the future.
