The addition of Bengaluru FC and promotions of Rangdajied United and Mohammedan Sporting have significantly improved the turnouts of the I-League in the 2013-14 season. Shillong already had one of the best supported clubs in Lajong but local rivals Rangdajied have also attracted good attendances in their debut season with the average being around 10000. Formed in 1891, Mohammedan Sporting is more of a social institution and unsurprisingly the average attendance on their return to the top flight has been more than 15,000 although their fans have mainly been in the news for creating trouble during matches with the club having paid three separate fines already. The I-League has also been more exposed to the social media with East Bengal becoming the first Indian club to reach one million likes on their Facebook page while the pages of Mohun Bagan and Shillong Lajong crossed 100,000.
