Debashis Dutta said, "Our list of members have extended up to 6400. As the number of tickets distributed around will be 7500, it will be a loss to both the clubs according to ticket distribution as the no.of tickets will be reduced to 2000 in number." Regarding training schedule, Debashis added, "Our players are new to Kalyani turf so they need at least 48 hours of training on that turf before getting down on the match day. This is not our decision. We have come to this decision discussing with our coach and technical committee members." In that case, Mohun Bagan will be ready to play either by 9th or 10th September. If the tickets will be 2000 per club as per membership, then tickets for sale will be not be distributed."
