[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I know it's not nice but I am impressed by how VRSC took out Barca and FCV by going after their fields.[/b]
I suspect it is the constant FCV boosting in this forum and elsewhere that caused it.  Anger is a great motivator.  I saw it when a certain person was removed by an organization and they stood to lose hundreds of thousands of dollars as a result.  They proceeded to form a new organization, leading to lawsuits, and then spent a lot of money to keep messing with the first group, going on decades now.

Too new....can you give more context?[/quote]

For the bolded part - It used to be called Evergreen Sportsplex and they rented the fields to Barca Academy Northern Virginia and FCV.  Barca Academy was a franchise owned by Sporting Global that formed in 2018, they had office space w/in Evergreen and ran the club out of Evergreen Sportsplex i think it was also known as the CroppMetcaffe something.  I'm not sure when they folded, it had to been in the last year or two.  Sporting Global partnered with FCV on the boys side because FCV has predominately been a girls club.  FCV also used Evergreen as their base/home fields for FCV Girls Academy. VRSC was formed, purchased Evergreen Sportsplex, renamed it Raventek (corporate sponsor) Park.  Now that VRSC owns their own fields, they are in Girls Academy and they did not renew the lease for next season with FCV and now also Sporting Global.[/quote]

Thank you. So, in theory,  FCV should have made a play for the facility years ago. If they had, they would not be in this position. I just Googled it....they acquired the fields in 2021! That is a lot of time to not have seen the writing on the wall. Loudoun parks and rec has a ton of fields...but Loudoun soccer has a monopoly on the parks and rec fields.

Oh holy sh*t. I just found a DCUM thread from 2021 that specifically calls out how FCV and Barca would be out of practice space.

I realize I am late to the party...but wow did they poop the bed. [/quote]
