InsideSport earlier reported that East Bengal faced numerous hurdles after proposing the derby kick-off time at 9 PM. However, now the official news comes from the club that the derby will be played on the stipulated date.
Why change in timings for East Bengal vs Mohun Bagan clash?
Initially the date for the Kolkata Derby was fixed on 10th March. But later, on the very day, West Bengal’s Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee proposed to host a political rally. As a result, now the Kolkata Derby is pushed down for an hour. Instead of the normal kickoff time at 7:30 PM, the game will be played from 8:30 PM.
