Not only a race against time for ISL. But, also a race against time for FIFA visit. FIFA is due to visit this september/october. The focus will be on main stadiums. But, I guess training sites will also be visited. They are also important and need to be completed on time.
I read in some newspaper that work already started in Rabidndra Sarobar including Flood Lights... But, I do not remember the source... Will post the news I can find.
Rabindra Sarobar is being prepared for U17 WC, it will be a training venue. It's funny how someone said that the gallery is better than at YBK, clearly they haven't seen the recent YBK stands post seat installation.
And there is no ISL standard, Atk will play whatever they are given. They don't have any choice, going to Bengaluru or somewhere else would be as good as not playing at all.
@munna21977 , "... Lets see then how fast they can erect Permanent FloodLighting Towers. It
will be significant development if they manage to do this. ...": Who are "they"? AFAIK it is the GoWB (remember, they did not hand over the stadium to AIFF in spite of a public promise by the Govt, because of some procedural complications). And GoWB are taking care of the stadium, for whatever purpose (may be as back up training pitch for the training pitches at YBK). I would be delighted if ADK contributes something to this work, but knowing them and ISL management, I know they would only invest in their long banners (because those are the most visible of all kind of investments), and the humble phenyl, nothing more.
Erection of floodlight poles, being metal fabricated structures, should not take much time. That is, if the Govt are not involved. Augmentation of electrical power receiving transformers and other equipment would be a little long drawn affair, but manageable within this time frame. And as @Nagendra said, maybe the base work had already started parallely with the civil works (which are more visible).
Haha. Someone talked about YBK post installation of seats. Obviously, it will be better. That's why its called fucking renovation. I am specifically comparing Rabindra Sarobar Stadium's gallery with that of YBK's before renovation. This stadium has proper seats made of concrete just like Eden Gardens before renovation. YBK had what? Fucking Steps.

Someone from Kolkata can confirm on this news...
