Sundowns say they did not agree to Orlando Stadium being named as the venue for the deciding match on May 26 despite the league claiming the assent of all four semifinalists.

Sundowns dispatched a lawyer's letter to the league seeking to have the decision, which was announced on Wednesday, rescinded.

They have told the league that should they reach the final, they would seek to play Tshwane rivals SuperSport United at Atteridgeville or AmaZulu at Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit.

Sundowns must first get past Free State Stars on Saturday night in their semifinal tie.

Should they win, it will likely set up a spicy spat with officials next week, although it is not clear exactly what Sundowns' objection is to playing at the Orlando Stadium - a venue that is neutral for all possible finalists.

PSL chief executive officer Stan Matthews said earlier this week: "As the league, we are excited about this game going to Orlando Stadium.

"The last time we had a final there back in 2009-2010 season, the support from the fans was phenomenal and overwhelming."

Agg Come Sundowns, ke eng manje, you are even sure if you will get there come Saturday. Phela this is the neutral venue given the fact that FNB cannot be used for the final since both clubs who can fill it up are no longer there & it will be empty so Orlando is okay as even if it wont be a sold out affair, it wont be that Bad

Dear Sundowns

Sorry Downs, your anger is misplaced. You were beaten by our neighbour who, by the way, plays at Soccer City not Orlando Stadium. So your objection should be directed at Soccer City not Orlando. We do understand your frustrations and wish you all the best in your future endeavours. We also hope that you manage to avoid Khompela's knobkierrie, lest you suffer a serious concussion and miss the Nedbank final at Orlando.

Yours in Championship contention;
Pirates
