Real Monarchs: USL Pro affiliate (was San Diego)

I can only hear the griping about the lousy 'plastic' turf causing players to get stuck to the ground.

 

Great now that's stuck in my head. That reminds me there's a few sets from that movie I need to buy for my kids.

 

Sure, for your kids. We all know you want that submarine masterpiece for yourself.

 

Na, I want Metalbeard. I mean, my kids want Metalbeard.

 

3...2...1... have you heard the news? Everyone is talking. Life is good because RSL is awesome.

 

Oceanside Combateros! Uniforms to look like ancient Spanish Soldiers.

 

Nah, the Oceancrime STDs. Uniforms looks like....um, well, um, well, I can't say since this is a family-friendly forum. Use your imagination, dirty minds.

 

uh, @UPinSLC were you aware of this?

me neither

 

Family friendly?

 

Oceanside is listed in the San Diego metro area by the Census guys. But the North County Area (Oceanside, Carlsbad, Vista, San Marcos and Escondido) together have 800,000 people, that would put them in the 60's in size, bigger than Ogden or Boise and knock San Diego down from 17th to 23rd in size. This population alone is sufficient to justify a D2 or D3 team even without the commuters from the North or SD.
Sudberry Properties is under contract with the city (which owns the old sand pit) for the El Corazon site as developer, with the first "tenant" to be site for part of the SD Surf Cup Soccer tournaments. Has any body gone to it? The grading for the temporary field is supposed to be underway. I have found little info on what is really going on or it DLH is in contact with then.

 

Any word on if they're moving forward with another location in Oceanside?

 

Last I heard was from a SLTrib article a couple of weeks ago. It was mentioned that they were still looking at SD but they were also looking at a team here in SLC as well.

really wish this whole fiasco could have happened before the town halls so we could get a better insight into plan B.

 

san diego agrees. now we play the waiting game again

 

Well technically San Diego isn't involved at all...

 

Have to think that Salt Lake Valley really means Sandy. Where else would they play?

 

Not a bad idea Prime. But is 2000 seats big enough for a USL Pro team? Maybe I am way off on this but if the tickets were a decent price I think they could get more people than that to games here in the valley.

 

Drawing a San Diego/Oceanside analogy, it could be Sandy/Hooper or maybe Sandy/Iosepa.

 

The Iosepa Hawaiians. That would be the name of the team.

 

have them be true to form with the mother club and play at RES
