Because the crowd was loud. Now ISL haters may jump in to relate it to the fact how I-League club represents the passion of a city and has the connect with people.
And u doubt that @Sam ? Anyone who pays for a ticket for a non advertised 4pm match in April-May will have to be be slightly passionate about his club. They are certainly not going to watch Ranbir/Dhanush/Virat wave in their direction
@deepakc u really think people would pay 200 to watch Danush ??
The stadium is so big that u can't really spot a celebrity who is sitting in a stand faar away from yours
Last time he came we could spot him only on Big screen
They can pay 10,30,50,70,120 rsand watch him in theatres Movie ticket are cheaper here Probably only place in India were u can watch a movie for 10rs in a multiplex Or they can watch him for free on torrent
A fan Club called B stand blues spent a huge money to make 5-6 banners here Why would some one spend 10-20k on banners when he just comes to watch a celebrity
"FC Goa which is hosting home matches for ISL has to pay Rs 1.67 crore as a fee for usage of Fatorda stadium. We have already communicated to them that the next match would not be allowed, if they don't pay the dues," SAG Executive Director V M Prabhudesai told PTI on Wednesday.
I've watched the Chennaiyin-Mumbai City game again and man, I think the partnership of Peluso and Jeje could work. Jerry is still great and exciting of a prospect and Chennaiyin did this for the most part with 6 Indians on the field at once.
Do you really think people of Kolkata are paying 400, 800 and 2500 just to watch film stars and Love of the game is absent. Then I have nothing more to say.
That is the situation in kolkata -- an evening to be spent in either a multiplex or in RS stadium. Not to mention the dinner in a restaurant, irrespective of performance of my team.

Chennayin used to give away bulk of free tickets
When i was in school during season 1 our PT master used to get 50 tickets
Chennayin also used to bring underprivileged children from government schools to fill up stands then
Even during ISL2 opener last year there were many free passes given
This season they stopped giving free tickets or reduced atleast 80-90% of what they used to give before
Only block A level1 which is right behind dugouts has a free entry for VIPs
Tickets in that stand aren't up for sale
Reduction in attendence here compared to 1st 2 season is due to this
Loyalty or support for the clubs is not a monopoly for a few clubs in this country you know.
