i think if they get a decent crowd response in delhi, then they might shift to delhi and play all their games there......
i hope it happens
[-O<

That is still not what I meant. I have always called for Delhi to have a team but will people come for ONGC and will ONGC even market the team. I see this as a failure in the making.

sanvedjadhav

football enthusiasts may come, NOT for ongc but maybe for their fancied opponents like eb, dempo, mb etc

Thats a few matches and they wont come for ONGC but for the others... might as well move them to Delhi then.

A VERY POSITIVE NEWS

The 2 month IPL-style Indian Football League may shift to September as a preseason tournament rather than January. This will ensure that The I-league runs normally.

A very positive step, thanks to the pressure created by IPFCA

Arsenalkid700

Thats better but what are we going to do about I-League and honestly how is that going to help I-League. The IPL League will still be more popular then I-League. This is not England, normal, casual Indian football fans will only watch the best.

Listen, let me put it like this... I love what the IMG guys are thinking, they are thinking out of the box but the way they constructed the idea is not good and I think deep down they know it is detrimental to Indian football.

A national football team can not rely on a 2-month tournament and a 6-month I-League. We can not survive on conferences and unbalanced schedules which the Indian people dont know. We can not survive on foreigners who have retired 2-3 years ago.

I still believe that what they need to do is sit down with the AIFF and do what Australia did. Go on a 1-year hiatus of the league (no 2013-14 season) have them play in the state leagues for one season and extend the Federation Cup to two rounds a month. Then restart the top league as say the "Indian Super League" or redo the "I-League" name and start a 10-team auction. Have different rules in which only this many teams in one state, prove that you can be reliable. Then using the players we have now, start the draft. Have the previous I-League that are in the newly redone league select up to 15 of there former players to have 1st dibs on and have the rest move into a giant player pool and have a draft. Have foreigners be a separate draft. Have a play-off because that is fun and try starting expansion instead of pro/rel because that was tried and failed in India.

looks like indian players will go down the drain
