ISL 2017: 5 things that must improve for the league to succeed in the long run

#5 Support

A league is made by its fans

It is often said that the crowd support acts as the 12th man for any team and rightly so. The passion and enthusiasm of the fans drive the players to perform to the best of their abilities. If football has to compete with cricket in India, the game has to reach in every corner of the country.

Clubs like Bengaluru FC and Kerela Blasters FC are blessed with supporters who are always willing to improve and who are ready to go an extra mile to support their team. In contrast, you hardly find a handful of supporters in stands when Delhi Dynamos FC play at home.

The fans need to appreciate the efforts being put in by the players and the organizers for developing a footballing culture in the country. They need to come out and support their teams and be a driving force for this change to come into existence.
