RIP Bengaluru International Football Stadium.. it will stay like this forever(Marcana Dream). DYSS will not handover Kanteerava. May be JSW should look for alternative than KSFA.
Cant the Jindals put their own men in KSFA like the Ambanis did in AIFF?
Thats how the cookie crumbles in India. East Bengal couldnt sell tickets for the bucket seats in the last derby in YBK but Mohun Bagan can. The Sports Minister of West Bengal but ofcouse holds a senior position in MB.
Do the Ambani's even have people in the AIFF? Its the same people in the AIFF as before the Ambani's came in and honestly they are just "yes" men to the Ambanis.
One batch is of politicians like Patel who are sort of elected members of Federation and other group is ex-corporate employees. Linkedin shows their past connections. We cannot prove that they are a particular businessman employees but many have come in last few years from corporate backgrounds-the same who are now running the ISL circus.
I guess the Ambanis got officially involved after they had their henchmen in place in the Football House in Delhi Anyways, hope JSW works out something and the issue get resolved. But an imminent flareup seems coming between BFC and the IMG-R lead AIFF.
@ EastBengalPride Mohun Bagan could sell tickets for their home Derby not because of the WB Sports Minister, who infact does nothing for Mohun Bagan though he holds a Senior Ornamental post in the club. The real reason being AIFF CEO expressed unhappiness when State Authorities didn't allow selling of Bucket seats on the opposite of the VIP Stands in the 1st Derby. Really the vast empty stands looked awful in TV. This time AIFF officials along with Mohun Bagan Officials met and convinced the State Officials & more importantly the Bidhan Nagar Police Officials (who were more concerned about the safety of the Bucket Seats !!!). I am not sure, the present Sports Minister even knew that tickets for the bucket seats on the opposite of the VIP stands were sold or not in the 1st Derby.
BFC should seriously look at Fall in number of Spectators. Last season, they were attracting crowd near 7000 to 8000. This year despite having a bigger stadium and more comfortable night time, their number has gone down to 3 to 4 thousand which is poor. Stadium is in middle of city, not far from previous stadium. Cannot blame working hours or college hours for fans also because games are on weekends and evening time. what is the Reason for crowd number becoming Half?????

From there, we can check profiles of some other AIFF people also and their past jobs at different Business Groups.
