That will be during the reality show...aiff will allow?
Wish they included some quality foreign sides and some ileague 2 & took the game to ncr (ghaziabd/gurgaon/noida/Faridabad)
@deepakc NCR region do not have much potential. Nobody came in Gurgaon Stadium. Army has presence in Delhi and sort of loyal fans in Old Delhi. So Ambedkar Stadium is nice. I have heard about some new stadium in NOIDA but again, it is too early to say.
Well Durand cup with top indian sides is a good way to promote....as these are all IT hubs with lots of people with spending power (except Faridabad)....who knows India's next BFC might come from here.....
CFL team might not attend if their League has begun. .they will want to finish the Derby game before they release their players for the ISL 2016
Goa Pro League might not want to added costs of travelling and staying in Delhi
Similar reasons for the NE teams.
BFC will have all its players away in ISL or Indian National Team camp mode..
Leaves only DSK to take part with the 2nd Division teams and Churchill Brother's
The lure of 75 Laks prize money now isn't enough.. If Pranoy Halder plays and gets injured...MMB would potentially have to pay his full salary without 50% being covered by an ISL team... That's too big a risk for such a non-guaranteed reward
Durand Cup is a good pre-season opportunity for clubs to test their Foreigners, Junior players, those Indian players who are not part of ISL. From next season, our National Team will hardly be busy. If they can adjust their schedule that it do not clash with Goa Pro League or Calcutta League, then it can be a good opportunity. I would like to know whether Durand Cup Authorities reimburse/pay for travel/boarding/lodging of teams in Delhi?
How many players get to play in ISL? What about other non-ISL players? they also need tournaments instead of directly featuring in I-League.
2nd Division clubs also get a chance to prove their mettle. Minerva FC or Fateh, Lonestar types. Delhi favorite Mohammedan Sporting.

Has IMG-Reliance given any dates for ISL of 2016?
