    BS prime base is lower Fairfield county Gold Coast (New Canaan, Darien, Stamford, Greenwich) where it's an easy counter commute (30-45 minutes max) to Westchester

    One of NYSC most recent top players, Tyler Shaver, came from Greenwich. He played for BS coaches growing up. He played at NYSC, then BS and now NYCFC

    Several Everton CT players made the commute to Westchester for FCW and now NYCFC
    Thing is, CT players who want NYSC or FCW or are good enough for an MLS club are already finding their way to those clubs. Also, not all of BS families come from lower FC; plenty also come from upper FC and even further in some cases. Yes it would be counter commute going down, but not coming back. In fact traffic is horrible going north. I don't see too many families going well into Westchester beyond what is already going on. BS was trying to build a facility in upper FC which isn't good for it's core lower FC base, but now it looks like that's dead. Supposedly USSF is pressuring them to build but obviously land costs closer to their base is stratospheric.

      The facility project died because they attempted to pay for it with parent and alumni donations. That scheme failed, they have no Plan B, hence they are desperate to merge. USSF definitely pressuring them for facility, to no avail.

      NYSC firmly in the driver seat here.

        They are, but I don't see what it buys them. If any of this is true, NYSC should drag their feet to see what happens with possible DA expansion. They could get a full badge quickly and they certainly are a good club. If anything a merger with FCW makes more sense as they're drawing from a the same area and FCW is starting to slip off the radar also.

          When will NYSC get full DAP, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years? No one knows. They have been waiting four years or so for full DAP now already

          A merger is the quickest and most sure way for them to achieve full DAP. Yes. They could drag their feet but that's a gamble.

          A merger whether it's BS or FCW gets that immediately. It also helps USSF out of a bind too. A favor to USSF is a good thing

                Yes but if DA is expanding they'll probably get it quickly and without all the headaches of a merger. They can wait a little while. FCW and BS aren't doing great but they aren't going away either. BS might get even more desperate as time passes if they can't find a good home

                  Helping out USSF by merging with an underperforming team is assisting USSF. Even though to another posters point they could wait it out.

                  USSF would owe NYSC a favor which could be redeemed at a later time.

                    IF DAP is expanding its into new underpentrated territories. They have a glut of clubs in Northeast

                      Greenwich ain't Bridgeport, where half of BSC practices are. Good luck getting from lower Westchester to Bridgeport or vice versa in rush hour in under 90minutes to 2 hours.

                        But it's not a big deal to give NYSC full status. Also the rumor is they're splitting into two tiers, MLS on top, in which case they'll need more non MLS clubs to keep the already absurd travel manageable. At this point it's clear USSF is more about putting other leagues out of business. They can do that by trying to steal market share. We aren't producing more players so they have to come from somewhere

                          If it's not a big deal than why haven't the received full DAP already.

                          They want to expand elsewhere than NY

                            They only just got the younger years and USSF usually starts off that way then adds older teams as clubs prove themselves. NYCFC didn't start off full DA and they're a freaking MLS club.

                              That was NYCFCs choice not USSFs ... big difference

                                Merger not happening. Talks have broken down.
