why not TATA Indica FC or Sumo FC or TATA Ace FC or to add TATA SALT FC - desh ka the football club ,,, lol.... But i'm happy if TATA group enters into indian football
Let me put it like this @Sparta re: name. I trust your judgement in which you say a name like Tata FC would work in Jamshedpur as that city basically is ran by Tata and all that so I won't complain.
However, if this team is created and fans don't come then you better believe I hunt you down boy
The recent popularity of Jharkhandi cricketers( esp Jamshedpur ones Saurabh Tiwary, Varun Aaron, Ishank Jaggi) has ruined Football's popularity in the city, So, we might need some Jharkhandi guys in the team. Hopefully , they will sign the Jharkhandi players playing in other teams in ileague.
It will take some time to resurrect the Footballing passion for sure.Also, both Keenan and JRD can have around 30-40k fans at a time. So, even if they get around 10k per match the stadiums might look empty Hopefully, they will market it well. They were also interested last year too, but creating separate entity was seen as hurdle for them. If they can do it then, it would be great for the footballing scenario of the country.
There are good amount of cricket coaching centres out here , but apart from TFA no academy not even the smaller ones. Hopefully with a i-league team there might be more academies/coaching centres too . Tata Steel has helped AIFF to conduct lots of tournament out here, even last yrs under 19 ileague was played here and some second division games too, so if the Tatas are willing then we will surely have a team here.
@sparta ; M S Dhoni is from Ranchi, Jharkhand. Still we see big crowd for Ranchi Rhinos in HIL for Hockey. Cuttack gets big crowd in their cricket games, still Bhubaneswar got great crowd for HIL. Same way I think that base is there due to tata Football Academy and Jamshedpur can have good crowd for Football-especially now when we do not see many Cricket matches in Keenan Stadium as Jharkhand cricket has moved to Ranchi.
