Your speaking outside of your knowledgebase if you think this place will not prosper. As an investor in similar venues, I can tell you the population demographics of this location align themselves to possibly making this the most successful of the three. Sorry to say gang, but Soccer will not be the only date in this facility. Hoops will be a major contributor (if you need evidence of the need, take a ride by Mass Premier Courts in Foxboro ANY day of the week...it's Standing Room Only).
I get that many of you are sour on NEFC...that's not the primary driver here.
I wish I had my $$$ in this deal !

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostForekicks III will charge $200 per hour to rent their fields, maybe even more, because that is what they charge at the other facilities. You have to be a club with high fees to really take advantage of that. See MPS and NEFC as examples.
Most of the other clubs referenced don't charge those fees, and might have trouble really taking advantage of it.

The FK facility is empty a lot, but it's not about that. They charge a premium to use the facility and are frugal with how they give out time. That's not the case at a lot of these other facilities, who sometimes bend over backwards for the customer and then get bit in the behind.
FK will not let you play without paying your bill, and that bill is high. They don't treat you poorly, but they also don't waste money.
That's why they're successful.
I think the clubs in the area that have lower fees will probably play soccer there indoors but may not simply shell out the money to use it as their indoor training facility.

I am Taunton resident and soccer coach for 20 plus years within the region. As excited as I am to see this coming to Taunton, the biggest factor will be cost for those particpating. Most of the die hard soccer folks within this region are not willing to shell the overpriced cost to enter a team or rent.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYou will once you start losing all of your players to NEFC. The parents will want the facility and won't put up with practicing in dumps or on school gyms once they get a taste of it. Saw it happen in Metrowest.
Not worried about my players! Cost isn't always quality for a player! Sell you BS to parents and coaches who don't know better.
We rent a gym and let them play. Much more cost effective and players get more out of it.
Do so more research, the same caliber players are benefiting with this process both at the club, state, and high school level? Maybe this is why you would let the group into the NEFC preason tourney.
