But now will be the real test . If they can sustain this through out the league , then hats up to the Fans .

When OC started I was like LOL , The announcer sounded totla to me . hardly understood his words . 

Then labeling ISL as IPL , that was another lol moment .

When match started , I thanked God for saving me from the agony but I should have predicted the future .

A dog announces himself in grand style . The same thing happened during a big political event few months ago .

I smell conspiracy !!!!

ok People blaming ISL fans as glory hunters

where were u during India vs Malaysia in Kolkata??? attendance wasn't even 2k

ISL fans come up because they are attracted to ISL

IN IPL tickets in Chennnai are worth 700-10k rs IPL are always Housefull
while Ranji Throphy entry is free but none turns up for it
u will call them all plastic??

complete nonsense if I-League had attracted these people They would have come and watced
blame AIFF rather

It's perfectly alright for people to go watch ISL. People have right to entertainment and they can seek it anywhere. If someone is criticizing you for that, he is bigoted.
Personally I feel it should not be ISL vs non-ISL camping. ISL fundamentally affects Indian Football in a negative way and that is where it pisses me off.

Indians are considered glory hunters by foreign fans for watching European games while Indians are considered glory hunters by other Indians for watching ISL... ISL is an Indian league.

@namewheld, I do agree with you but if we think of franchisees part, they can't expand without breaking even.
We must wait till 2 more editions by which time atleast some of the franchisees can break even. I expect a calender expansion only then.
