First and foremost I went to the stadium today and they tell me that I cannot carry still camera or the camera bag after travelling 15 - 20 kms..I had an argument with JSW guy telling they should have mentioned about it in the tickets...finally had one of my friends pick it up for me. The arrangement inside wasnt good at all...the water pouch got over in few mins..pepsi was being provided in a glass for Rs.20 but I had no change with and gave him Rs 100 but he didnt have any change too..so I went thirsty the whole time...people threw the empty pouch in the stands..and some of the chairs broke since people we standing on it... Now on the match..We are lucky we didn't lose..Pakistan had quiet a few good chance but they couldn't convert...we almost scored an own goal. Our defence wasn't great. In the mid-filed we kept losing the ball and every now and then we depended on long balls. Robin Singh was shit and I think lots of people in Bangalore thinks he is the main guy in the Indian team. This could be due to the fact he plays in BFC. So when he got a red card they thought we lost our main guy.
Have to see how they play Pakistan again on Wednesday. I think we have a long long way to go..couldn't convincingly beat Pakistan.
A nice crowd for the game. 7000-8000 is a good figure for U-23 Football game considering the fact that there was a India-England Cricket Match going on TV, Janmashtmi Festival plus few good Movies in Theaters. Still fans reached in good numbers to the Stadium.
JSW knows how to run a sports team but I they learn how to treat the crowd better and provide them, other than Pepsi where there is no change to give, free drinking water.
Well these are all ways to generate extra revenue. Parking charges, Snacks, Soft Drinks. I dont remember anybody giving free water ever-I have been to Sports Stadiums for many events in various countries. These items are expensive inside stadiums. If they dont allow stuff from outside and then dont serve inside, then thats a problem.
