Chairman of the Antigua Recreation Grounds (ARG) Committee Hilroy Humphreys said that after assessing the conditions of the grounds, all the blame cannot be placed on the Antigua and Barbuda Football Association (ABFA).
Humphreys added that now is not the time to cast blame but instead to find solutions to improve the current condition.
“When I look at the various pictures for the last five years and I realize what has happened after Carnival, I can’t blame them at all. A lot of damage has been done. They allowed persons to park on the field. I noticed now that ABFA have to have people taking out shrubs because during a steelpan competition someone brought in sand and rocks and put them on the field so, now, I understand their concerns but now is not the time for us to have concerns anymore, we should settle down and get things organized,” Humphreys said.
