As Baroka FC prepare for their Nedbank Cup encounter against Soweto giants Kaizer Chiefs, the club's CEO, Morgan Mammila, has stated that Amakhosi and arch-rivals Orlando Pirates are biggest club in the history of South African football.
Bakgaga take on the Glamour Boys this coming Saturday at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth.
Many Supporters Club members could not agree more with Mammila, although some believe the Soweto giants are the biggest teams in the country only when they go head to head.
"Biggest teams indeed. Even though the two went +1 000 days without winning a single cup. Hehehehehehe. Chiefs vs Pirates clash is the most attended match in South Africa. This is because, in our country, we have people from England, Spain and Italy who will ask why they are called the biggest teams when they are sitting on four league titles each from 22." – SL_hated_donkey
"So they are only big when they clash at FNB Stadium? Some reasoning, though? After the Soweto derby, you then see orange seats at FNB and empty seats at Orlando Stadium. What I know is, Baroka and Chiefs are on the same level. Refer to their head-to-head statistics." – YellowDude
"When you go to Asia and America, they will tell you more about the Soweto giants, nothing else. They know nothing about small teams." – Denelson11
"Without fear or favour, PSL would be boring without Bucs and Amakhosi. I would rather choose to switch to cricket if they did not exist." – alizebucs1986
Do you think Bucs and Amakhosi are doing enough recently to maintain the "big teams" tag?
