Wow!!! Superb changes!!! Most of the points are already discussed. But the last point of having TPL news caught my eye. The effect of media on general public is unimaginable. Having shown news on premier news or sports channel would have superb effect on the minds and this would pull lots of crowd.
Thai League is organised well but coming to fan following it is similar to I-League.This is something which AIFF has to learn instead of just promising every season.
Whike I was reading about Thai league, one thing struck me. Till last year they allowed 7 foreigners in playing XI! Thats insane. And irrespective of that, their NT is doing quite well

<br><div><br></div><div>very interesting to know that, also look how many english people play in an EPL club.</div>
<font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2">Thailand have it easier than India. They have more experience and a better federation that probably has more money, they can afford 7 foreigners.</font>
