[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So if Loudoun gets ECNL, will this be another club that is one-and-done with FCV? Who will be next on FCV's radar??[/quote]

There was just no way the Loudoun/FCV merger was going to be sustainable long term.

As for the next partner? It would have to be a club small enough that could benefit from merging with FCV in any capacity. It would also have to be a club that is established enough to have field space. And finally, it wold have to expand their footprint away from Loudoun.   [/quote]

At this point, I'm not sure FCV needs a partner. The Loudoun deal did very little for the club... FCV got a pathway to DA for their boys, and they picked up a handful of girls, but there is very little sharing of coaching resources or field space. And now that FCV has had some success in GDA, they will continue to draw the top girls in the area with or without Loudoun.  The only real need FCV has is for field space but it's not clear to me that there are any clubs in close enough proximity that have that to offer.  It's also quite possible that Loudoun and FCV will retain their arrangement and allow second tier player movement to Loudoun from FCV.  Although that could put a chink in FCV's pipeline a bit so it seems like a long shot.[/quote]
