Eric Tinkler Urges Kotoko Fans to Fill Baba Yara Stadium for Democracy Cup
Eric Tinkler wants a full house. Asante Kotoko’s head coach has called on the club’s supporters to turn out in numbers when the Porcupine Warriors take on their rivals in the Democracy Cup at the Baba Yara Stadium on August 28.
For Tinkler, this isn’t just about filling seats. He genuinely believes fan support could be the difference-maker, giving his players an extra push in what’s already shaping up to be one of the season’s most-watched fixtures.
Tinkler joined Kotoko in July, brought in as part of the club’s push to build a competitive squad ahead of the new season. Since arriving, he’s made it clear he wants more than just results he wants a genuine connection between the team and the fans who follow them.
That’s part of why the Democracy Cup matters so much to him. He’s hoping to see Baba Yara Stadium packed from wall to wall, with an atmosphere loud enough to lift his players from kickoff to the final whistle.
Kotoko’s fan base is one of the biggest and most passionate in Ghanaian football, and Tinkler is banking on that passion translating into real energy on the pitch especially in a match that’s already generating plenty of buzz.
For Tinkler, this fixture serves a dual purpose. It’s a chance to test his players against strong opposition, but it’s also an opportunity to strengthen the relationship between the team and its supporters before the 2026/27 season gets underway.
He’ll also be using the match to keep evaluating his squad fine-tuning his tactical plans and seeing how much progress the players have made since he took over. It’s a natural extension of the weeks of preparation the team has already put in under the new technical setup.
That’s why Tinkler’s ask to the fans is simple: show up, and show up loud. He believes the energy from the stands can give his players the confidence boost they need heading into a demanding fixture.
With anticipation building around the clash, Tinkler’s message to the Kotoko faithful is clear he wants his team to walk into this game united, determined, and backed to the hilt. A packed Baba Yara Stadium could set the tone for the rest of the season.
