Good Afternoon Arif,
Unfortunately the passion we use to have for football is not there anymore. the real football fans no longer go to games for various reasons. Some of the reasons are: It to far. They don't indentify with some of the teams. They not from their "community". Some of the teams play all over the place. AIA plays in Arima even though they from Morvant. W Connection from Savonetta/Couva, but they play in Marabella. Arima has 2 stadiums, yet no Arima team in the pro-league or Super-league. JoePublic is based in Tunapua area, but does not have the support TECSA use to have. All the teams in South are in desperation. Point and Palo Seco struggling. Police still trying to keep Sando name in footbal(unbelievable). Port of Spain has not have a decent team in years. Defence Force is not as good as before because the best players goes to the pro-teams. There is Super Star Rangers. But Rangers needs to decide wether they want be a St. Anns team or an inclusive POS team. With the exception of the army, they have no competition in the POS area. Their marketing people should try to embrace Cocorite, St.James, Belmont, East Dry River. They should be Port-of-Spain Rangers. We don't hear nothing from Rangers. As I see it, somebody with Duprrey kind of money and good marketing can bring a good team in "tong" and dominate football. That is my take on why they don't show football on TV.
