I-League: Four reasons why Football crowds in Shillong are diminishing

#2 – The rise of ISL

North East United FC has taken away a lot of the fanfare.

Without any argument the quality of football on show in the ISL is way more pleasing to the eye than that of the I-league. Guwahati being just some 100 km away from Shillong, sees a large numbers of travelling fans from Shillong for North East United home games.

Such intensity and level of football in India with a galaxy of International stars has never been seen on Indian shores. This is sure to attract not only football lovers but also an average sports fan. Having witnessed such quality display of football in the stadium as well as in the televisions, one can wonder why one would pay to watch teams as well as a league that is infeirior in quality.
