The official attendance for the match against Jamshedpur FC stood at at a dismal 4,389.

This incident is the latest flashpoint in the growing rift between Manjappada and Kerala Blasters’ management.

Earlier this season, during their home match against Odisha FC on January 13, Blasters fans had organised a rally outside the stadium, citing poor performance and mismanagement. However, police intervention disrupted the protest, with authorities reportedly threatening arrests.

Inside the stadium, fans shifted their protest to the stands, chanting slogans like “Magnum Sports Out” and “Management Out”, but security and police attempted to suppress the demonstration.

The latest tifo incident adds to the ongoing tension between the fans and the club.
