HELA Wigmen skipper Benjamin Hetra is not buying into the hype that his side will have more fans at the Digicel Cup grand final in Port Moresby on Sunday.
The 29-year-old forward said the National Football Stadium was a neutral ground and his team were focused on their individual roles ahead of the match against the Lae Tigers.
“Port Moresby is not our home ground, we haven’t had any home ground for the last three years,” the former SP Hunter said.
“NFS is a neutral ground. Whether we play in Port Moresby, Lae or Mt Hagen, it is always a neutral ground for us.
“He have our structure and style of play, and we will stick to it. We won’t let the hype around the supporters get in our way.
“Having a big following is good. It’s a bonus for our team but we are more focused on ourselves and what we need to do and not get carried away.”
NFS has seen a huge turnout of Hela fans over the last three Wigmen games against the Rabaul Gurias, Goroka Lahanis and Waghi Tumbe.
Tigers coach Stanley Tepend said the Wigmen would use their fan base as an advantage but his side were focusing on their game.
