    ...at all?

    Any word on if anyone can tell if the ASL has been doing on? Or if anyone would notice if they went on or didn't?

    The ASL has not even been able to do its own communications in an age when everybody can do PR. They have been the absolute dregs of the wannabe leagues (among those that have actually taken the field).

    And the the next city to get an NISA team is Atlanta. Man they love MLS markets.

    Sounds like NASL all over again.

    NISA has announced four clubs for 2019 so far, but none of them seem to have information about an owner or stadium situation publicly available. That sounds...dicey.

    That sounds par for the course.

    Is this league related to the new NPSL league or a totally different league?

    Different.

    But they've lost two of their co-founders. One died and another is working on a USL project.

    It's obvious evidence of USSF bias. The fact they would not just rubber-stamp this league shows they're in MLS/USL's pocket.

    If it's Philadelphia and it's the Atoms and Matt Driver is behind it, the owners of the Union have eff-all to worry about.

    Pretty sure Mr. Driver is the owner of the Philly team. I know Sugarman is a crap owner and all, but he’s miles better then Driver.

    You think Chris is paid to leak this gossip, or he does it for free because he enjoys being Mr. Know It All?

    I think he just enjoys talking about this stuff. I disagree with Chris on the big questions, but I'm glad he reports/comments on the minor leagues.

    That 2 month break is going to kill any momentum the league manages to get. Also February is going to be brutal for the northern teams.

    How often, exactly, do lower-level leagues "fully participate in the international transfer market?"

    Such. Idiocy. Catnip for the prawns, but a ridiculous justification.

    Last year Connecticut had snow in April and November. Today we got 2 inches of the white stuff. The casinos are going to have to give away a lot of comps in order to make playing in a former AA-baseball Park in an industrial park work.

    But...but...real fans will support their team in any kind of weather. They do it in other countries!

    It's too bad that playing a summer season keeps MLS from participating fully in the international transfer market. Otherwise, Almiron could've made a big money move to the Prem and not been stuck in podunk Atlanta.

    Oh, wait...

    This is what I don't get. What's "holding back" Scandanavian countries in continental competition isn't their schedule, it's their size/money/pedigree.

    I live in a region with a really long growing season and even I - with a financial investment in my local club - would have second thoughts about sitting on metal bleachers in February.

    Easy fix. Don't sit on the bleachers. Stand and cheer your arse off. You will stay much warmer.
