Last year, in 2nd Division I-league I saw some Kerala clubs like Eagles, Golden Threads, Quartz. I think they were from Kochi area. Also I remember teams like Chandni FC. Viva Kerala attracted good crowd-15000 to 20000 for every match they played in Kozhikode. Lets see if we are able to get football action in Kerala. Corporation stadium there has floodlights and good crowd capacity.

yes & even prof cricket team kochi tuskers fans were below 5k, at final home match 27k...but CPL 60k..just to see mohan lal bowling wide...
@joyptan's suggestion in another topic, i support pailan arrows to move to malappuram...no kochi, no kozhikode....coz malappuram stadium is small and can expect full house..won't look bad on tv
they shall have 2-3 location as home which basically dont have any i-league teams eg kerala, delhi and bangalore
this would mean the players will be able to develop in different conditions as AIFF had been always saying that arrows development is more important than results
and also it will help everyone know whether a particular place have an i-league team

Absolutely. An FC Calicut will do wonders with local+national+foreign players. I am sure if managed well, the club will be a success.

how come Manipur -no club even in 2nd Division. I wish that new corporate groups should look at such states.
