They need a stadium in Mumbai. Strange, AFC rules should have strict and Mumbai FC should not have been allowed in I-league as they cannot arrange a stadium in Mumbai. Their Cooperage Ground will never be ready. They come to Pune and play in front of 250 spectators and those are also Afghan students because of Amiri.

Had been to cooperage today. The stands are coming up. Met Henry Menezes there, he says that it should be ready by Jan 2014. But the stands are those metal structure type. Capacity won't be more than 4-5K.

Their court case is going on. So they got permission of only those temporary stands which can be dismantled. But did you see the stands? because henry menenzes was saying this last year also that stands are coming from China and that was in Dec 2012.
Anyways good news!!!!

I am pretty sure them playing in Pune is perfectly fine and following the AFC rules... it is just a question of if Essel Group cares that they lose money every season.

Essel group owns Ten action, ten sports, zee TV but they hardly promote Mumbai FC on their channels. Talking about losing money, well they make up in tax savings and deductions under corporate social responsibility even more then what they spend in the club. but they will get more sponsors and ticket revenue once they start playing in Mumbai.
