To change Capacity of home stadium
According to wiki page of J.L.N stadium Kaloor, Kochi maximum capacity of the stadium was given as 75,000 limited to 41k for upcoming fifa competition.Also since the overhaul of venue is being done for upcoming international matches, installation of bucket seats on the third tier of stadium definitely takes its capacity to full 75,000.But this page limits the capacity at 50-something thousand people while match day attendance shows 61k people on most of the games. This discussion was started to bring this problem to the attention of admin. Please do make necessary changes. Akjoy444 (talk) 08:49, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

New rivalry
Please add the club's rivalry with bengaluru fc Gokul linson (talk) 13:23, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

Add to Supporters and Rivalries Section- The New Intense Rivalry and Derby between Kerala Blasters FC and Bengaluru FC (with links.)
It all started back on August 23, 2017 when Bengaluru FC faced April 25 for their AFC Cup Inter-Zone Play-Off Semifinal game. Rino Anto and CK Vineeth were the two from bunch of players that were the part of BFC since its inception but were now transferred to play for Kerala Blasters.

Coming to the incident on night of August 23, 2017, Both these players decided to visit Bengaluru’s home leg fixture against North Korean side April 25.However, a bunch of supporters among the group also chanted, “Who The F**K is Kerala Blasters?”. Aimed at the ISL side for whom the 2 players would go on to play for. This did not go down well for Manjappada Fans(KBFC Fan group) expressing their displeasure in social media. Thus a new rivalry came into existence in Indian Football without even once a ball being kicked off among the two teams.While India always had their own derbies in the form of Bengal derbies or Goan Derby or Northeastern ones. This was the first BIG Rivalry among two ISL sides that was born purely out of fans hatred for each other.

http://www.goal.com/en/news/rino-anto-deeply-hurt-at-anti-kerala-blasters-chants-by/1f2g2he5mie5l1b2dh6ucvowcc (Report by reporters are numerous, this is just one of them)

Following these incidents the clubs first met each other on December New Years Eve, in Kerala Blaster's home stadium.The stadium was sold out! And only yellow army, Manjappada, to be seen all around. But the derby was won by BFC by last minute goals.This was the most attended match in the 2017-2018 ISL season.(39,000 out of 39,000)

After this in March, Kerala Blasters met Bengaluru FC in Bengalore's Stadium. BFC has a very small crowd compared to Kerala Blasters FC (KBFC).To everyones surprise Manjappada's travelling fans travelled to BFC stadium with full force to the point where 60% of the stadium was filled with Kerala Blasters Fans in Yellow. Never has ISL witnessed this much intense passion for a derby.To make it more impressive the stadium made a record attendance that day mainly because of the Manjapadda's fans.(25,000 out of 25,000). But again the derby was won by BFC by extra time goals. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.110.122.95 (talk) 12:08, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

Splitting proposal

 * I am closing this discussion at the behest of another user due to my extended confirmed status. Though I am not familiar with the subject it seems to me that there exists a strong consensus that the Manjappada fan club are deserving of their own article. I have copied the 'Support' section over to Manjappada. Beaneater (talk) 11:38, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

I propose that section Support Section be split into a separate page called  due to the following reasons :

1.The support section contains contents based on the fan club Manjappada that is independent of Kerala Blasters.

2. Continuous attempts were made by some users back in 2016-18 period to create the article called Manjappada. But the fan club was not notable at that time and failed WP:GNG. There were no reliable sources also. The Kerala Blasters article were also too short at that time.Thus was redirected  into the support section of Kerala Blasters.

3. But the scenario has changed now. Three more years has passed and the Kerala Blasters article is now around 103,000 bytes and the fan club has more than enough coverage and multiple reliable independent sources are present which includes sources from 1.[] 2.[] 3.[] 4.[] ..etc which makes it pass WP:GNG. So the support section must be splitted out from the main article under the title. WhiteFalcon1 (talk) 09:41, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Strong Support: As per the sources in the support section, its evident that the fan club meets notability criteria. Also the content in the support section seems off the topic that covers almost entirely about the fan club and its importance. The Kerala Blasters article is also large enough now to consider splitting. Shahoodu (talk) 10:20, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Support: The fan club meets notability criteria, the sources back this up, this fan group is quite significant. TheEpicGhosty (talk) 13:04, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Support : As per the nom, the contents in the support section covers mainly about the supporters group. Also the plenty of sources in the support section shows that they are an independently notable supporters group. Indianfootball98 (talk) 02:21, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose: Yes the support does meet the notability criteria however the support section is not currently WP:UNDUE with the improvements made recently to the overall article. If the article had not been improved and the Support section was UNDUE within the context of the overall article I would have been in favour of a split.  The 100,00 byte reasoning is somewhat obsolete in the context of the context of typically improved internet speeds and the efficiency of the mobile browser, xtools also show the prose is currently just under 23kb.  Would not object to Manjappada being bolded within the Supporters section as there is already a redirect there from . Thankyou. Djm-leighpark (talk) 03:20, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment: There are more than enough sources available on the internet to make this page similar to Emerald City Supporters which is an independent supporters group. Its important that beyond just their engagement with Kerala Blasters, the fan group is involved in a lot more activities not just as a fan group, but as a organisation. Like the nominator said, Manjappada was redirected earlier due lack of reliable sources and size. So considering its current size and notability, I strongly suggest this page should exist as a seperate article. Thankyou Shahoodu (talk) 05:24, 27 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Support:The 100,00 byte reasoning is surely a factor to consider. Internet speed is not same as everywhere. As this club comes from India, the majority readers will be also Indians. As an Indian, let me tell the situation in my country. As per the report from a study, India ranks 131st in internet speed among the 138 countries included in the survey. 1.[] 2.[]. These reports just came yesterday. I would like to stress one point in the report here In some locations, you may get good speeds while in others you cant even refresh facebook. This is the case in the rural areas. Lot of places are there in the country where there is not even sufficient speed to browse the things such as wikipedia. Its also evident from the sources that the fan club is independent from the club which they support in many ways . So by considering the eminent size of this article also,I support the splitting. Sullyboywiki (talk) 06:58, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Support: Plenty of in depth coverage in multiple sources including Major national newspaper which is green on Perennial source. The supporters group is independent from the Kerala Blasters in many ways considering their support for the Indian national football team and engagement in other social activities. Iamfarzan (talk) 02:39, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Support as per nom:The supporters group is independent from the club from the club and have more contents and enough coverage to exist as a seperate article.TWFcode (talk) 19:24, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

Splitting proposal
I propose that sections History be split into a separate page called History of Kerala Blasters FC. The article is currently around 125 kb, where the history section contributes almost half to it. Also the length of this section is out of proportion to the rest of the article. So I am proposing a Size Split for easy readability.  Poppi fied  talk 14:57, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Support: Agree with the nominator. I think that the right time has come that we split the article's history section into a jndependent one considering its size. Regards Kichu🐘 Discuss 15:09, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Support as per nom: The article must be splitters considering its size Indianfootball98 (talk) 02:58, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Support as per nom: Agree with the nominator. There's won't be any conflict for anything regarding notability whatsoever. We can't always write every season's history on the main article with a good explanation, and the article's history section is so big to be independent. Internet range varies from places to place, and it will be difficult in some places to load this many heavy bytes all in one. So splitting might be a better option.  Ken Tony  Shall we discuss? 09:58, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Support: Considering the size of the article, especially with the history section, I also agree with a split as per nom Iamfarzan (talk) 15:02, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

History Section
As there is now an independent article for the history of the club which comprises of the same content of the history section here, the section here must be reduced to smaller by removing unnecessary things.  Ken Tony  Shall we discuss? 12:10, 4 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Its already done. I have removed the least important things from the artcile. It seems fine as of now. The new article about the clubs history is more than 68000 byte if Im right. The history section in the main article is around 42000 bytes. Hope thats fine. Regards Kichu🐘 Discuss 09:44, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I can see that. What I'm saying is to reduce the history section more by cutting-down all these minor things like injury cases from history section. Individual player injury has no relevance in the history of the club.  Ken Tony  Shall we discuss? 15:49, 5 March 2021 (UTC)


 * , As I was the person who reduced the size earlier, I will definetely have a look at it. Regards Kichu🐘 Discuss 18:00, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
