So Belsen is not in play...my assumption is that they find a High school field to play in, ideally near public transport.

I hope they read these two articles and make some structural and philosophical changes to the organization. PRONTO. http://pitchinvasion.net/blog/2009/08/19/this-should-be-fun/ http://pitchinvasion.net/blog/2009/08/26/how-not-to-lose-fans-and-alienate-people/
Knowledge is timeless. And seriously, do you think they have something better to do? I hope they do but if history serves us any example then...
Will they still be playing at Belson (which, by the way, is getting new turf as we speak)? I tried to look on their website, but it has now devolved to a blank white page.
Considering I live on the campus, there is not much easier to get to for me That's really the only reason I gave this team a chance. Well, that and the fact Terra and Hoffer had just graduated before signing with them.
I think you should still give this team a shot. I would go as far as to say that we all need to commit to making sure that this team doesn't fail. One of the biggest problems with American Soccer is that teams come and go and us supporters act as passive spectators, letting crappy owners and ineffective front offices run clubs into the ground. We need to stop letting other people dictate to us, the supporters what a team is going to be. Its up to us to make these teams mean something and to take it upon ourselves to make sure our teams keep playing and represent what we want them to.
