As far as i know MB have hired external help for their website and social media accounts. Mohun Bagan have organic likes mostly but they do have a percentage of paid likes... While the EB page has paid likes as well. they had run a sponsor campaign for months. They also had merged the fb pages of various fan groups giving it a swell.
Nothing wrong with paid likes, this is advertisement. Might get new guys interested. What is important is to realize that number of Facebook likes don't reflect real support.
Hyderabad? Did not know this ... I thought the bid was for Chennai. If it is Hyderabad then things will be more interesting, as that city was home to many a football talents and I would be glad if there is a team from there, because the emotions to football may still be there.
If Hyderabad side does make it(will make as state been divided surely not much problems as new Telangana FA might come up) Gachibowli stadium is nearby my house(5-8 kms). Every match day pictures guaranteed from my side. Also try to get to practice sessions too.
@ashindia I will be very happy and hope aiff allows them in I-league Hyderabad has history in football but I don't support another team from pune as PFC is struggling to get fans + location of the stadium
