Similar thing happened with DSK, PFC shut down since they didn't see any future prospects in I-League and Kalyani Bharat FC was only found to entertain a kids demand.
Pune had two IPL Franchise teams of Cricket Pune Warriors India & Rising Pune Supergiant. Both closed down due to Financial irregularities.
In Hockey India League, many Business Houses were interested in staring Team out of Pune. But the Hockey Astro-Turf required some maintenance. Like due to excessive practice, a part of turf from where Penalty Corner, Penalty Stroke were taken were a bit torn off. But none of these so called rich Franchise owners wanted to give money to renovate.
Great city but it is not attracting right type of people in sports.
@munna219777 For Supergiants the deal was for only 2 years same as Saurashtra. and regarding 1st IPL franchise Sahara is a shady business house so I was always skeptical about that whole thing.
5-a-side Hockey game of 30 minutes. And they are also talking about mixed Men and Women Teams. It is like changing Football League to a Futsal Tournament. Disgraceful. Holding League for the sake of holding for Franchise !!!
Orange ? Army has released statement that they are shutting down after all its 12 members which includes @shanks_dehighliving were not paid for last 8 months.
