i am happyily shocked to understand 5.6% that is almost 6.5 mil ppl watch indian football... that seems to be not so bad number for a struggling sport....

TV telecast of Indian Football is also like 5% as compared to International Football.

Meanwhile what is the rationale for baadat buying stakes in CCFC...they need money for ileague or they have plans for ISL?

mohammed_87hassan

I don't think they can venture into ISL now
I even doubt their survival in Chennai if the merger happens

These guys lack organization and professionalism
Even in the game against Mohun Bagan they continued selling tickets through fences 



They lack fans 
Hardly 300-500 come to watch their home matches despite tickets being sold at 25rs and many come wearing Chennaiyin Jersey


Surprised how he got to sell his stakes at the club
Seems baako hadn't seen any of their matches
