FAS new head Prof Ho Peng Kee has decided to intervene in the Albirex Niigata- SSC seating saga.

Albirex Niigata & SSC have reached a stalemate over the proposed expansion of the Jurong East Stadium as it would involved a bill of $67000 & both sides are unwilling to foot the bill.

Prof Ho felt it is not in the interest of the league to have the matter dragged on as an increase capacity can benefit both the league & the club.

He had instructed the SBU to look into the matter but at the moment he cannot revealed any details as discussions are ongoing.
