The idea that Kolkata doesn't care about ATK is a myth which many faithfuls have somehow managed to convince themselves. Sourav has given a much clearer assessment of the current scenario. Kolkata has a huge population and the eb MB fans and atk fans represent different sections with some overlap. Furthermore, Kolkata will follow whatever team that represents the city. People said without ganguly and very few bengalis kkr won't be followed, that was rubbish ofcourse. I think you guys are giving too much weight on sentimentality and history, while at the end cunning marketing works out better. History would be for nostalgia on rainy afternoons.
Bottom line I league clubs from the city evolves or we just see history being created rather than just followed.
This is where we have missed dearly. As gar as I have followed football never seen Indian team getting so many qualifiers. Yet instead of gaining points and going up the ranking ladder we manage to dig deeper into the tunnel. Opportunities missed are opportunities lost

ISL understands their market very well.
