“Their revised monetary demand as quoted by them are Rs.6 (six) Lakhs plus Kolkata / Bagdogra / Kolkata flight tickets (approximately another 2(two) Lakhs and Innova Cars for the team sector Bagdogra / Gangtok / Bagdogra plus hotel accommodation for 25 persons in a three star hotel, two days before the first match and one day after the last match”, informs Mr Ethenpa.
Since, SFA could not afford to bring Md. Sporting Club, Kolkata by paying such an exorbitant rate, the executive committee of Sikkim FA decided to replace Md. Sporting Club with another I-League team Milan Sangh, Kalighat, he further informs.
