Running a club is tough business. We need approximately alakh every year to run this club. It is a constant battle. We have to conducttiatrs and fairs to generate funds. We have had politicians contributing money.Churchill Alemao had provided us with two lakhs last year and we conducted aninter-village tournament named after his parents. Players today demand moneyfor every match. We have to pay them Rs 500 per match. Where will all thismoney come from? The GFA promised to give us one lakh every year. Nothing hasbeen forthcoming. The cost of running a club increases every year. Rs 30,000per year is a minimum. Give me a sponsor who will help us and I will begrateful.
