They lack basic organizing and don't stress at having fans People who attend a game aren't really interested to attend the next
»No stable ticket counter Ticket sales only during match day »The lights outside stadium would be off and will be dark »Condition of seats are bad »Toilets kept closed »No water available throughout the stadium »Moreover they allow freebies who keep fighting ,break chairs and spoil experience
CHENNAIYANS FC have the rights during the season for the Nehru Stadium ISL games will be played don Wednesday thru to Sunday
I-League games are only on Mondays & Tuesdays... , due to the ISL rules , NO ONE ,. not even the home team can use the stadium on Match day -2 or Match Day -1
As such , Chennaiyans FC can't use the Nehru stadium on a Monday or Tuesday ,there is no way CHENNAI CITY FC will be allowed to.
Apart from the issue ( non issue ) of taking on the mighty IMG-R in this regard
there is the small matter of the mercenary Tamil Nadu sports department who will charge an arm and a leg for the stadium use
it is cheaper and more viable for CCFC to play in Coimbatore,.
Mumbai FC played an entire season in Kohlapur Shillong Lajong played half a home season in Manipur & Assam
IF CCFC want to survive , they need to adapt.
even Aizawl FC will have to play their AFC games outside of Aizawl
CCFC is a direct entry club, which means they have some commitment (mostly financial) plus AIFF must have ensured that they have a stadium to play, rented or owned. So how do AIFF react when suddenly the club says they do not have any stadium to play in? If AIFF prefer to keep mum like it's none of their business, and they default on the financial front as well, then what?
I saw good crowd in Coimbatore for Kerala Santosh Trophy matches. It is a big city. If Pondicherry stadium was maintained well, it is also a good place with proven domestic football crowd.
Playing in Coimbatore might attract some fans from Palakkad which 1 hr away. Palakkad has regular sevens tourney which attracts a good turnout. Renaming to Kovai City will be good I think.
Btw Chennai City was estd as Nethaji Sports Club in 1946 and renamed to Chennai City in 2013 when Rohit Ramesh bought it.
And SDAT which owns Almost all Sports infra in TN have accepted for a smaller rent for Coimbatore JLNS.

But someone needs to attend their games to know their state of organization
It is as lame watching FC pune city or mumbai city playing their matches in nagpur because the fans were not turning out...
This is going to be a bigger flop move than having a i-league club out of TN itself
Chennai City FC have no choice
