Good to see.

 

[Zeshan547]

Well done faisalabadians, we are the best and most passionate cricket fans in Pakistan, we deserve a team in Psl, and we have produce some world class cricketers as well.

 

[TalentSpotterPk]

Great to see.

Well done Faisalabadians

This is an eye opener - instead of sticking only to Lahore, Karachi, I think PCB should focus on smaller venues. Also, PAK's domestic season is limited between OCT to April, due to climate. But, in summer, I think, PCB can arrange similar List A/T20 tournaments in Northern towns like Abotabad, Islamabad, Gujranwala or even Mirpur, where I believe heat wave is acceptable.

Faisalabad is the third biggest city in Pakistan after Karachi and Lahore. Should be given the due importance that it deserves.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

We always provide the best crowd. Well done Faisalabadis!

 

[#GreenRoars]

Throughout the tournament, crowd was impressive.

I know, just like Canada is 2nd most powerful country in terms of defense in North America .............

It's not possible to arrange National level List A cricket in May-AUG in southern Punjab/Sindh, that period PCB can use northern smaller towns.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Sialkot has the best wicket in pakistan but the stadium does not have flood lights and the location is crappy. Surprisingly the outfield is still good. The need to invest on jinnah stadium sialkot.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Great to see.A few of the previous matches also had good crowds.

 

[saad32170]

Crowd did not get what they deserved. Poor from Punjab.

They surely deserve more matches including PSL and international matches after such an attendance.

 

[Major]

much better crowd.

hopefully in future all the matches of karachi are given to smaller cities like hyderabad, faisalabad.

They got an internationalg game and no one showed up. These cities get smaller games and people show up in masses

How much are the tickets?

 

[Major]

How much are the tickets?

100 for those where there is no seat, just pavement.

THats the rate in RWP, dont know about faisalabad

 

[Canistani Hero]

The security beef-up in Karachi for SL series was insane. 3 and a half hour just to get to the stadium..before the game - wasn't like this when Faf du Plessis' and team came

bro thats how it is.

For anyone game, youa re reuqired to reach the venue 1-2 hrs before.

Even when a t20 domestic final was held in pindi, people were requried to reach stadium 1.5 hours before.

The locality of stadiums are as such.

No need to look down upon other people when praising Faisalabad.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Faisalabad always has had pretty much full houses for games yet never gets the nod ahead of lahore or karachi

 

[Major]

No need to look down upon other people when praising Faisalabad.

sorry, but they should be.

thing is, these fans and their media houses create ruckus if they are not allocated games.
If a certain city is being allocated games than fans of those cities should show up. If they dont wana show up than matches shouldnt be held there and the fans of those cities shouldn't cry about not getting matches in there city.

This is not only a Pakistani thing, it happens in other sports aswell. In NHL, people bash Ottawa fans for not showing up to games even when their city made it to the play offs.

 

[topspin]

Would like to see more matches hosted in Faisalabad and Gujranwala (where my family roots lie).

 

[Zeshan547]

Too bad i missed out due to my busy schedule but we Faisalabadian deserve much better stadium than this 3rd grade club level stadium we have right now, after all its 3rd populous city of Pakistan after Karachi and Lahore and we have more passionate cricket fans than most pak cities.

This is a massive slap in face of karachites. Who were not present in odi game which was taking place after the absence of 10 years.

Do you understand the difference between a T20 game and an ODI game as well as the difference in security level between a domestic game and an international game?

surprisingly I lived in Marleybone and to get into lords took me 40 mins

cant imagine what it must be for someone coming in from east london

and hour and half is a norm when you go to an event regardless of your location.

bro.
this is a domestic t20. that was an international odi. that game should had reieved more fans.

ANd security situation doesnt mean fans are not allowed in to the stadium. They are allowed.

FOr any event you are required to reach an hour or two before due to parking issues etc. Even in these domestic final games getting into a stadium is a big headache.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Faisalabad never disappoints.

Iqbal stadium capacity is half of Karachi lol

 

[Zeshan547]

[MENTION=146198]SensiblePakFan[/MENTION] and Krachis Population is atleast twoce of that of Faisalabad, Lol,
so not so sensible comment from sensible fan.

The Karachi games were on working days, while the city was flooded and they only had a couple of days notice. There is no stadium in the world that fills up during a working day, especially with circumstances that Karachi was going through.

Have some sense when you comment, don’t be so blind and closeminded.

Pak stadiums are disgusting.

PCB either needs to build new ones or bring the old ones to modern times.
