Haha yea... we see around 50 post of MB then 40 post of EB then 5 post of goan clubs signing then 2 post of bengalurus confirmed signing and 3 post of rest of the clubs in the league this is the case in every 100 post in this thread mostly
I am from Kolkata, and even I am crazy about my football but what's the point in throwing up your imaginations like these? Nevertheless, no offences meant. Cheers!!
Every season during transfer time we get so many new users coming to the forum and actively participating, particularly from Bengal. I wonder why do they disappear only to reappear in the next transfer season. May be one of them can answer that.
@namewtheld Transfer is a very interesting topic for all... especially during the off-season. So we get many participants who are generally supporting a particular team..... Mohun Bagan, EB, Bengaluru, Dempo, Salgaocar etc. etc. But after the signing is over and actual season starts the supporters are more engrossed with the performanece of the team they support and depending on the performance, their interest start decreasing or increasing. Since only 3-4 teams perform well every year, supporters of other teams back away. This is very normal and this sort of participation makes IFN very interesting and enjoyable. This is just my point of view.
I think as MB and EB went trophyless (read I-League) for such a long spell, the ordinary fans lost interest. During transfer season, their hopes are re-ignited and they post. As season rolls on, it is the same story all over. So they lose interest and abstain. Plus, MB-EB supporters are not to be known net-savvy, being mostly from humble background.
This year, because of MB's success, may be we are witnessing a bigger surge.
Also if you pick up a paper in Kolkata during the off season , all you get is gossip and rumours...
The Shillong papers are more focussed on the Shillong U-19 League
A Sports page in Mumbai will be cricket obsessed , Bangalore TOI is least bothered about BFC in off season , and Pune papers don't even know they have a football team !
