Taking Europosing to a whole new level. I can't figure out if this is a joke or they are just painfully unaware of how stupid it sounds. Their home stadium can seat 1,500 Kopites? Good Lord. Embarrassing.
Liverpool FC? That is just awful...awful. Either this is a joke or they are somehow affiliated....or it is a completely clueless organization. The real Liverpool logo is there, so they better have permission. This could be a joke though, there is really not any information other than the home page. **EDIT** There are a few related posts on the NPSL Facebook page. Mostly from a "Peter Brody". Brendan Keyes from the Galveston Pirates seems to confirm their existence as an NPSL team.
Creative naming. I think I'll follow their business model for my future NPSL team. We'll be the Manchester Nikes.
From the NPSL facebook page.. "The NPSL is getting ready to announce more expansion teams. This time exclusively on Facebook and Twitter!" https://www.facebook.com/npslsoccer/posts/10151282709034173
Definitely some changes going down...Jax United Club president just tweeted that the: "NPSL SouthEast division will be :Atlanta Silverbacks, Georgia Revolution, Jacksonville United, Miami FC, Cape Coral and Tampa Marauders" https://twitter.com/Jaxunited/status/277524147100340224 Kinda nervous that Myrtle Beach FC hasn't been mentioned.
they most be adding at least one more team to the west division because right now its only Chattanooga, Knoxville, Mississippi storm, and Rocket city
This looks legit. They are listed as a partner of Liverpool FC just like CASL is with Chelsea. I did a bit of research; they have 120 youth teams and are the 3rd largest youth program in Texas. They are partnered with Liverpool and you guessed it, Warrior. They have a full-time staff, looks pretty impressive. Definitely not a joke.
There are two teams in New Orleans, the Jesters are switching from PDL to NPSL. Binghamton is not folding.
Where are you getting your information from? Everything I've seen points in the other direction. Jesters PDL site: http://www.uslsoccer.com/teams/2012/22349.html#MAIN FC New Orleans NPSL site: http://www.npsl.info/teams/41722524/46298252-44022117/TEAM.html
I found two names of clubs on the NPSL site that might be new clubs. They are America USA and Club America ACY. http://www.npsl.info/teams/index_E.html
They may be keeping it under wraps for now but what I heard a couple of months ago was it was indeed the Jesters. It may be that USL retains ownership of the name and they need to rebrand.
Four new teams announced-- CD Aguiluchos USA (San Francisco) , CASL Elite (Raleigh, NC) , the aforementioned Liverpool Warriors, and Tulsa Athletics. http://npslsoccer.tumblr.com/post/37667910917/more-expansion-for-npsl
Names don't ring any bells with FC Tulsa... but hey... ummm.... Dr. Tommy Kern is a sports medicine guy and Dalesandro? Isn't that the name of a downtown Italian restaurant on Boston Ave?... hmmm... time to google... http://www.dalesandros.com/ http://www.bostonavenueathleticclub.com/players/playerProfile.cfm?player=31 Mmmm... snarky...
So now there will be 2 NSPL teams playing in Kezar stadium? Or will SF Stompers FC move back to Pacifica?
You're right- Bing not folding just caught in conference re-alignment. In fact, they are adding grandstands to seat 1,500 at the field this year. I post what updates on the team I can over at parlorcityfootball.com for the 2 people in the world interested in the team.
The Stompers will be playing in SF this year......Kezar isn't available in April, that was a big reason they played in Pacifica to start (Pacifica facilities were probably the nicest I saw from the league last year). I don't think the Stompers will stand for this, that is their territory. I know they weren't allowed to practice in the East Bay last year because of territorial reasons, so I doubt they will be ok with someone else playing in the Home. Plus from my understanding CD Aguiluchos USA was voted in to play in the East Bay, not SF. This is a new level for CD Aguiluchos USA (Pittsburgh Galaxy) , they will need to learn the rules. At this level you can just say "Lets play where ever we want".
