Bidvest Wits coach Gavin Hunt has explained the shocking treatment his side were subjected to during their CAF Confederation Cup trip to Nigeria last week.
The Clever Boys returned home in the early hours of Friday morning after what was said to be a gruelling journey to Calabar, Cross River State, where they suffered an exit from the continental club competition at the hands of Enyimba.
The two sides played to a goalless stalemate but Wits were eliminated on the away-goals rule after playing to 1-1 draw at the Bidvest Stadium a fortnight ago.
After returning from their trip, during which the players were subjected to rather shoddy meals and other logistical issues, the outgoing Absa Premiership champions put out a mundane display to salvage a point at home to Polokwane City on Sunday afternoon.
Hunt lamented the conditions in which his side were hosted, before being repulsed at the thought of complaining about the experience.
“Have you understood what we’ve done in the last week or two? It was a nightmare, a disgrace. Things like that shouldn’t be in football,” lamented Hunt.
“It’s a joke [what happened out there], I’m not even going to get into it. You guys should come, and then you’ll know about it instead of criticising us for getting knocked out.
“We can’t play there… Red cards again, disallowed goals, tackles are … you know, it’s crazy. The pitch, I mean, it was … Anyway, I don’t want to talk about it.”
