Star to show IL and ISL both. ISL all matches with 18 cameras, helicopter and drone view. IL 45 out of 60 matches with 8 cameras. ISL to be played on weekends and IL weekdays.
debarghya89 yeah, that is what Bengali media is reporting. Now many people will say Bengali media is not reliable. But many a times we have seen Bengali media is quicker than others to get the football news out.
@sam so they are reporting it as news or implying EB/MB to join ISL?
besides that did anyone else observed yesterday during derby , there were few things done by organisers just like ISL... there were some firework kinda thing during player entrance, entrance was decorated, music was played after goal scored
EB will be most certainly joining due to sponsor pressure. Heineken said 15 cr entry fee and whatever the club budget of 22-25 cr is not a problem. They expect to see their investment returns in an expanded ISL. BFC has already submitted their bid. Siliguri to be the EB home ground. Though I am expecting after 2 years, EB will play in Kol and SLG both. Maybe something like a 70-30 or 60-40 match share. But this puts MB in a big big pressure.
Star's budget for ISL production 50 cr IL production 10 cr and total matches 60 in the sense AIFF is putting pressure on star to show at least 60 matches. That was a mistake in the way of writing. IL will die its slow death, that is what IMG wants. They are more confident now after the dismal spectator numbers in MB IL matches in RSS this year. They are sure now even Kol football lovers wants masala football package, their tastes have changed in last 10 years or so and when served with masala package they will take it.
Also I am hearing this time ISL will have 4 foreigns in playing XI. I don't understand why IMG is taking risk here. because this might bring down the quality of play. they could have simply continued the same foreigner rule with the exception in AFC matches. 6 foreigners in ISL and Super cup and 4 in AFC matches.
