[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]STJ FCV will absolutely change within the next year or less.  Anyone telling you differently is simply selling you something. [/quote]

Are you the same poster who posts this like once a day?  It’s like you have some vested interest in seeing the club fail. No one else seems to be rooting as hard against another club except you. Lots of good players and parents are sticking it out. Just let it go. [/quote]

Well, when you pay your deposit before such an announcement is made you are a bit locked in at this point.

And I don’t think Spirit parents are necessarily rooting for the demise of FCV as much offering honest perspective as parents who have gone through this before. Spirit was also purchased by a millionaire who also made promises. It is wise for FCV parents to be skeptical and be critical this coming year. Make note of how the goal posts get moved throughout the year.

Does Sunday, regen practice during the season in the fall bleed into one weeknight in the spring? Does one futsal practice in Loudoun during the fall turn into two a night over the winter?

Do changes in branding occur slowly?

But the smugness that FCV parents demonstrated during Spirit’s situation while simultaneously ignoring the cautionary tale is baffling. [b]Has anyone really asked why FCV was purchased?[/b] Why it was sold is understandable but why St James purchased it is really the only question that will truly answer FCVs future. [/quote]

Yes. And there isn't a post on this board that is correct.[/quote]

Then what is the answer?

Why did the St. James purchase FCV?[/quote]

Regardless of why, TSJFCV parents should accept that fact that this is the last year of training at Evergreen. By next year all training will be in Springfield (all Winter training this year will be at TSJ). [/quote]

And even if that happens (which it won't since TSJ doesn't have enough field space), what is your point?  Should players that play for the top girls teams in the area (all FCV teams U13 and above) should leave that success and pathway to join a club that is worse purely for some convenience?  You are the one that should accept facts.

As time goes on, the player make up for the TSJFCV will transition away from Loudoun County but players that want to play on the best teams and are already on those teams are NOT moving to Loudoun to play for a crap team right in the middle of recruiting years.[/quote]

Everything changes. Loudoun used to have the best teams and then top players left for FCV and DA. Not a stretch to think some will leave again. Just as coaches have no loyalty to players (see FCV, McLean coaches hiding in bushes to watch and recruit older players who have been developed elsewhere), players have no loyalty, either. TSJFCV 05 roster jumped from 18 this year to at least 21 for next year. Just a sign of what’s to come, huge rosters, kids sitting out each week.  Not really a draw for new players. Unless, of course, they love being joysticked by their coach from kick off until the final whistle. Thank God they don’t have to implement their training into game action.
Currently, TSJFCV has the best record in the area, but seeing their results across the board in Showcase games, it’s hard to call them one of the best clubs. Self praise is no praise TSKFCV parent.

So we should scramble from away from successful clubs like FCV to down-trodden clubs like Loudoun because things change and maybe, just maybe, Loudoun gets better because a board troll like you said so?  Oh yeah.  I better listen or else...[/quote]
