The first instalment of the DStv Premiership Cape derby (also known as iKapa derby) between Cape Town City and Cape Town Spurs will take place on a newly laid pitch at Cape Town Stadium on Saturday.
The pitch has garnered significant attention as it incorporates hybrid grass - 50% synthetic and 50% natural grass - and came with a substantial price tag of R16 million all the way from Germany.
Its multifaceted usage, from hosting the Cape Town Sevens and prestigious events such as the Cape Town Marathon and Cycle Tour, to musical concerts and recent additions like the Monster Jam truck festival, has come at a cost.The last sporting event held at the arena was the United Rugby Championship final between the Stormers and Munster on 27 May this year, which was packed to its 55-000 capacity. Shortly after that game, the stadium's turf underwent a three-month renovation.
"People need to realise that we've played five away matches because we didn't have a stadium, and now is the time we can start collecting points." Tinkler said he does not feel any pressure despite five winless games on the trot in the Dstv Premiership."Everybody is raising the issues, but, for me, the issues right now are no different to the issues of last season and the season before. I stay away from the noise. I don't become a bad coach overnight."
Bartlett spoke about whether he had the backing of the board considering his team go into the feisty encounter on Saturday without a win this season.
