Gor Mahia are sweating over a bill amounting to Ksh 810,000 to be paid to the Algerian hotel they have been staying in.
K'Ogalo have been in the hotel since December 25 and after playing CR Belouizdad in the first leg of the second preliminary round of the Caf Champions League.
Gor eventually lost 6-0 and were scheduled to leave on Monday, December 28 at 17:00 EAT.
"Chairman Ambrose Rachier called me early this morning and echoed what senior [Francis] Wasuna just told us about the challenges of leaving the hotel," read part of the communication from a Gor Mahia official to other members.
"Dolfina [Odhiambo] herself just called me and said the hotel is adamant that they will only accept credit card payment.
"This is a unique position. I urge that we act immediately as any delay will mean losing the flight as well."
K'Ogalo came into the match without the services of their influential captain Kenneth Muguna, midfielder Bernard Ondiek and Nicholas Kipkirui. The first two were nursing injuries while the former Zoo FC man had family issues.
The Great Chabab scored their goals through Amir Sayoud, who scored a hat-trick, Hamza Bellahouel, Larbi Tabti, and Maecky Ngombo during a thoroughly one-sided encounter.
K'Ogalo have a huge task of overturning the 6-0 loss in the second leg to make it to the group stage of the Caf Champions League.
The East African charges have never made it to the group stage of the competition.
