Fuller gets devoured by fortis who gets devoured by the GPS machine?Originally posted by Unregistered View Post -
Did fortis realize that it was hard to run a club and threw in the towel after a year?
I'm sure GPS threw them a bone and are giving them some sort of title with some money being thrown at them for a few years then GPS gets rid of them and brings in some guy from England to run things for half the price.Comment

If true, this is all about fields.
Fortis FC heavily connected with the new facility near Great Wolf.Comment

Additionally both groups will work to integrate additional successful programs across the age spectrum with Fortis FC and its coaching staff also continuing to provide creative programming such as their popular Hybrid Soccer Training.

Fortis/GPS is not at Bowden, they would never let them on those fields after what ME did. Looks like he started for a dance partner once all his players left after year 1. They needed to merge with GPS to charge the high prices for the poor product. This is very similar to SCOR merging with FC Boston and now Stars so they can sell players on the club even know all the teams will be in League 1.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
Only benefit to GPS is the facility, they must be getting first pass at field space so they can grow in that area.Comment

The soccer landscape in MA is getting so bad. Parents have no idea who they are really playing for. Fortis sells parents on a lie, gets them to come to them then merges with someone else. Why go out of your way to shut down hamlets only to merge with GPS, Very unethical !!!Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Fortis
Starting a club you should know that the first few years would be tough right? Why change your identity so soon? The reason is he promised a facility but can't deliver without more teams. Oversolded and underdelivered and all the left over Hamlets players jumped ship when they realized they could pay the same and play for the best clubs in the state and not a Hamlets/Sutton town soccer mix.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment
