BFC have done well for the i-league but u need to understand lets not overestimate what BFC had done (only abt the performance on the pitch, marketing wise they are at par to a ISL club, for a dour brand such as i-league thats something)
but on the pitch they still always played 4 foriegners. if they were playing ISL am sure they would have brought in the same level of foriegners & marquee player as the rest of the isl clubs, am sure a rooney/robin wouldnt have featured in the Bangalore ISL club FACT!!
you only invest based on the average level of playing quality.
bottomline is you wouldnt have the kind of fan following u currently have for BFC if they were not winning. thats what the average fans want, ur team to be amongst the best.
let BFC come into ISL scene but travelling fans will be difficult for ISL. Each every fan cant afford to travel throughout the country span of 2 months. Minding the cost its difficult.
Away fans for BFC was more into GOA.In Bengaluru Stadium, We had lots of EB/SLFC and MB during games but most of them living or working in blr. During HAL's era also we had those fans to be frank.We should be sensible while talking about away fans in india.Still club culture is not enrouted into heart/blood of indian public expect EB/MB and SLFC as far as my view. BFC is doing it and it is successfull till now only we can tell once it's is survived for 5-6 years.
can we have some statistics from ISL ..like total no of passes played, success, total distance covered on an average per match..what is the diff with I-league..how are Indian faring in this..can we get such statistics
