“I appreciate the fans support during the hard times”, says Eric Tinkler

Orlando Pirates have had a difficult 2015/2016 season and the Sea Robbers head coach has hailed the clubs fans for standing by their team during the hard times.

Tinkler said, “The fans have been coming to the stadiums even when the results haven’t been coming and we as the technical team and obviously the players we appreciate that. They need to continue doing that supporting the boy’s, because they also play a big part in this team being successful”.

Currently placed in 7th position with 32 points Orlando Pirates have had a difficult season which at one point saw them appearing as relegation contenders.
