And we know that Pune has a long way to go for its people to take interest in football and if someone is doing something good towards it then it should be appreciated. Pune won't be a footballing city overnight. I talk to CEO of FCPC and believe me he works hard towards achieving his goal of making Pune a footballing city.
If a new city can be drawn towards Indian football, it is only for good. Just like a new member has been drawn to Indian Football Forum
However, many old timers here are sceptic because they have seen the Pune experiment fail time and again. Once bitten twice shy. We have been bit ten by the Pune bug thrice already!
PFC in the first season showed that there is a decent, not overwhelming, market for football in Pune. But Punekars' expectation of football quality is way too high. They fail to sustain the initial enthusiasm. Let us see what is in store for FCPC. At least fans are not losing any money with these experiments

We will never know ... cause there is no Punekar excited in football.
