Sreenidhi could have tried Vizag instead of Deccan. Sreenidi Vizag FC. Most corporate clubs in I-League has that brand name in front, so that won't be a problem (RoundGlass, Sudeva, Gokulam).
Also, who's going to win the battle of SDFCs. Who'll get that acronym.
People from Andhra aren't slightest bit bothered about football . 99.9% people don't even know the rules or game . If sreenidhi plays from vizag , i am sure there will more players than fans in stadium . State federation is non exsistent and don't even have an address. This is coming from a telugu guy who moved to bengaluru just so that i can watch some football regularly.
@ Lord_Pessi For Indian population, even 0.1 percent is good enough. Vizag is biggest city with population around 18 lakhs, if we include near-by population, it will be around 25 lakhs. 0.1% of 25 lakhs is 2.5K which is good to start-with
It's not necessary to know rules , my whole family watches FIFA World Cup. They know only about goals & nothing else. Most of the Indians don't play football, but they do watch including people from Andhra. FIFA World Cup is one of best followed event in India followed by European football.
PS: I'm from a village which doesn't even have our own Gram Panchayat or even a small playground to play.
We got a decent group. In our group, only UAE has good set of U-23 players. If we send our top team, we can definitely beat the likes of Oman & Kyrgyzstan.
By the way, Bangladesh will be sandwiched with Saudi & Uzbekistan. Though not sure about Kuwait quality in U-23 level, they are hosts and will be stronger.
Ideally Floyd Pinto should be handling the u23 team. He was coach of India u20 which beat argentina in Cotif cup. Stimac is shit. And btw if AFC can have u23 qualifiers this year then why did it cancel u16 AFC Championship?
Well Said. Deccan name was popular in colonial times 1930s 1940s
Deccan Chronicle Newspaper, Deccan Express / Deccan Queen Express, Deccan Club, Gymkhana etc. across many cities of present day Telangana, Andhra maharashtra Karnataka
But nowadays nobody identifies with Deccan.
Even the new firms like Deccan Airways or Deccan Chargers IPL team flopped.
Name of club should be something which people can identify with. Something which Telangana / Andhra region people and especially younger generation could connect with.
I am not sure what Sreenidhi’s plans are in future. Maybe they named themselves as Deccan because they are majorly based out of Hyderabad. I have a feeling they might even merge with Hyderabad FC in future(Just my guess).
