FCV and Arlington not getting ECNL.

Loudoun having ECNL should be clue 1
Arlington removing boys from ECNL should be clue 2


Also committed and gone in and a year and with it the parental loyalty to the club.

So FCV will go ECNL in 3 years?


I would call that 2 years. From post it sounds like they may get ECNL in 2 years, not definite.

Can PP elaborate on Arl issue? Are they referring to Arl boys leaving ECNL for MLS/next?

They haven’t performed all that stellar against local ECNL teams in recent scrimmages either-suggesting they would not be as dominant as they currently are in GA.


What was different in the way FCV left ECNL versus the numerous other teams who left ECNL for DA and have since returned? I've only heard "burned bridges" as the reason, but many other teams took the same route and have since returned. Honest question on what did FCV do that was so egregious?


Don’t know-but I am sure that the fact that they are so close to Loudoun is an issue for ECNL. McLean and Arlington have greater geographic distance based on where Arlington usually practices, while Loudoun and Evergreen are about 5 miles away from each other. Also, FCV has no boys teams to offer to sweeten the deal of an all in club.


Loudoun and Evergreen are actually much closer than 5 miles. More like a quarter of a mile, if that.

I thought about proximity, but in other places, that doesn't seem an issue. Charlotte, for example, has 2 ECNL teams. I guess the argument there is that Charlotte (Pop: 850k+) is bigger than Loudoun County (Pop: 410k+) and can sustain two teams?


Charlotte metro is 3.6 million or so.


Excuse me. That's 2.6 million, not 3.6 million.
