I am with you on this and a lot of people have been saying the exact same thing for years! Even with AFC requirements we should be able to find stadiums with 10,000 capacity at most to play at.
@deepakc. That is the Raia Panchayat ground. Probably the best playing surface in Goa even better than fatorda. Capacity will be abt 6000 or so.
The irony was that Peter Vaz was the chief guest. Hope he realises something after seeing the fans. Credit should also go to the organisers for making it a fun event. There were huge speakers all round and live konkanni music before the match and at half time.
Stadia location, expected match atmosphere, ticket prices, all play a part. When East Bengal plays in EB ground or Barasat the average attendance is always upwards of 15-18k even on weekdays but in YBK hardly 10k would turn up unless it's a derby.
@deepakc. Wait for the 13th Aug. Salgaocar will be playing Churchill Bros in the Goa police cup. After that we will be able to tell u more abt salgaocar.
