If the local community actually allows this deal to go through, then it's a big coup for NEFC. Obviously looks like their Southeast region is pulling away from the Fall River area and planting itself firmly in RI. Wonder that means for their players from the FR/NB area though. Don't see them coming all the way to Cranston. Perhaps they head north to Taunton for Metro South region instead?

What tax payer in any RI city is going to be ok with some super club from MA coming into its backyard to exploit them for fields. Its one thing to rent a field for an hour its another to own exclusive rights to it for 20 years. Never going to happen! NEFC will need to buy land which won't be cheap and will kill any idea of a turf field for that club in RI. Will need to look in south eastern MA DR or Swansea for cheaper land.

Buying the land is the cost driver in these deals. That's why places like Wide World South have a lease of land from the State for pennies in the name of creating jobs. Terrible deal for the state but a sweetheart deal for Wide World. NEFC was looking for the same.

Stop calling them out of state based on their main office. NEFC has players from all over New England. A field in RI would be used by the southeast region which is heavy with RI players who have been traveling to MA for training for years! As far as ruining a town program, there are RI only premier clubs, have they ruined the towns they are in programs? Many NEFC players still play for their town programs, something to be proud of for the town players that are getting more development and opportunities. Should players just be held back??
Cranston wasn't meant to be. NEFC will move on and players will still sign up.

If NEFC moves to RI, will they add NPL teams to the region? Some of the Southeast teams could compete in NPL.
