[RxPG] St. John's -, April 9 - In a bid to attract more spectators to the remaining World Cup matches, the organisers have launched operation 'Ram-de-Dance' and announced a ticket sale incentive.
Organiser Chris Dehring admitted that the World Cup officials should take the blame 'for not communicating' as much as they could have with the public, particularly with what is permitted during the matches.
'Here in Antigua I have heard incredible things like music not being played in the stands; musical instruments banned... which clearly are not true because in Jamaica people were bringing musical instruments, there was loud music all over the place. It was a great party.'
