"We thank the fans, members, and all the Young Africans SC supporters for filling the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium in readiness for the game against Simba," Wananchi posted on their official social media platforms.
"[Simba] are lucky because they were going to suffer. Wananchi relax, justice might be delayed but eventually it will be served."
Shukrani kwa Mashabiki, Wanachama na Wapenzi wa Young Africans Sc kwa kujitokeza kwenye uwanja wa Benjamin Mkapa, kwenye mchezo wetu wa leo dhidi ya Simba Sc.

It is a move that has not been well by Timu ya Wananchi, who insisted they will stick to the initial plan.
"The Yanga management is disappointed with the pushing forward of the game against Simba from 5 pm to 7 pm," read a statement obtained by
Goal.
"The changes are against the rules; article 15 (10) of the rules governing the game in the country states 'any changes regarding the kick-off should be communicated to both teams 24 hours earlier.'
"Yanga management will not agree on the kick-off time communicated and will honour the initial time, 5 pm.
"The management has further challenged the TFF to run the league in accordance with the set rules and guidelines."
