What pathetic bunch of losers. If they truly believe this they deserve to lose tomorrow.

I have seen you constantly attack the team and players just to defend your favourite ground because it's named after a politician

 

Even way before this news, you have called the team and players all kind of names to defend this stadium

 

We don't need pathetic loser fans like you who will always put a politician before your country and team and players.

 

In the end you are another dogla NRI who pretends to support India but your agenda is limited to one state and one political party.

 

At least this stadium has exposed your thinking and who you really support. It's not India or indian team for sure.

What we deserve is the panauti stadium to be destroyed and matches played at prominent venues such as Chennai, B'lore, Mumbai, Kolkatta, Mohali, Hyderabad, Delhi etc. Even Vishakapatnam, Indore, Dharamshala, Cuttack etc. are much better.

 

We're putting another title on the line just to play at the manhoos stadium. We've lost only 2 matches in ICC tourneys out of 32 over the last 3-4 years and both the defeats came at this piece of shyte stadium.

@Ultimate_Game @Lone Wolf @New guy @Lord @rangeelaraja @Nikhil_cric @Stan AF @vvvslaxman clear that this venue has gotten into the heads of our players/coaches. 

 

I don't believe in superstitions but our folks wouldn't do all this unless they get negative vibes which is messing up with their psyche. Not good signs especially for a home game. 


 

It’s not going to help. See below :

Team India was travelling in its bus when someone asked Abhishek Sharma about fielding, to which Abhishek Sharma replied that we will have to put two keepers for Arshdeep Singh, one on the upright and one on the wide.  Because Arshdeep mostly bowls wide balls and we also have two keepers Sanju Bhai and Ishan.

I don't buy into the panauti thing myself. Not a superstitious guy. Do feel the central pitch there generally hasn't suited us and crowds haven't been our 12th man as opposed to say Wankhede or DY Patil. But I won't go to the extent of blaming the venue for some so called jinx/curse. 

 

Even my endorsement for OPs is just in lighter vein, don't subscribe to luck charm there. Even if India loses tomorrow, it will not be because of who opened the thread or who observed which ritual.

 

My grouse is a bit different, I prefer marquee games being hosted in more traditional centres. That's all. I don't like politics being a guiding factor when it comes to allotment of venues or budgets. Everything should be merit based and/or distributed throughout the country. Even though I am grateful to Odisha govt, I don't like the fact that all Pro league hockey matches are played only in Kalinga, sometimes Rourkela. Punjab, Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, UP, all should host.

I don’t know why so much hatred for the venue and fans. I’m a gujju and biased but the people of the state deserve cricket as much as people of Delhi or Mumbai or Kolkata do. Baroda and Gujarat has produced a lot of talent for India as well - let’s not forget that. 
 

We can go back in history and find examples of fans behaving worse (bottle throwing, stoppages, starting fires, you name it) in all of the so-called traditional venues so to call the fans in Ahmedabad worse than Eden Gardens is a bit unfair.


I would assume there’s a big contingent of visitors vs only locals so if the stadium goes quiet, it’s not just the local fans. I bet the same happens in other stadiums.


I was there in the stadium for Sachin’s last day in Mumbai, the atmosphere was electric. I’m sure if India win, it will be similar in Ahmedabad.


Here’s hoping India wins but if we don’t, it’s not because of the stadium or the fans.

From what logic does Ahmedabad deserve the most important matches that have been played in every tournament for the past several years?

 

Imagine thinking Ahmedabad is getting all these matches because they “deserve” it and not because of a certain narcissist.

watching on telly it looks too flat to feel like a fortress. when i see wankhede pictures, i see tall steel structures, i see glamour, i see wealth, i see the rich and famous, all in the heart of india's financial capital - things that make indians feel taller.

it’s just the administrators. Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Delhi had their runs too because of the administrators were from there. Do you think it was because they were fair?

 

This will also move on once the administration moves to a different party. 

Matches of more significance have been lost at other venues, more times than I can count. Get over it.

Wankhede was rocking and Eden Gardens showed up for NZ-SA. 
 

And yet we have to play the finals in this PoS stadium. 

For wankhede, before ind eng match, in T20 WCs, team India had their worst defeat in knockouts against windies in 2016.

 

As for kolkata, in the last knockout game before NZ SA match, it was the most shameful day in history of Indian sports in 1996. Heck even recently when messi came here, we all know what the public did.

Also recently Armaan Malik concert was cancelled in Kolkata due to peaceful Muslims not wanting to listen to haram music during Ramadan.

 

Hats off to Maulana Modi and Jay Shah ( the descendant) of Shah Jahan to foresee this event and schedule India matches elsewhere. :adore:
