How special is it to be a member of Timbers Alliance?

[Unregistered]

Bet you clowns thought you were really something when there were only 3 clubs. Now that there are 9 you must feel really special. Original Alliance clubs were such wrecks that the Timbers had to keep adding more and more in the hope of maybe someday finding a club that can actually develop players for them. Which club will be #10?

Our club is one of the original 3 Alliance clubs. We were told we were special and that the Timbers would be supporting us in many ways. 4 years later and they're up to 9 Alliance clubs and they've all but forgotten us (they still take their cut of course). Alliance is the biggest scam ever foisted on youth soccer.

Nice try.

No such talk.

Always someone trying to trash talk clubs simply because they are clubs choosing to be who they choose to be and nothing more.

We've been with our club before they were an Alliance club, same coaches, and are still happy. We wish the same for others so that there will always be options for soccer and youth in our communities.

Was at 1 of the original 3 - still many good people at old club just felt like we traded a bit of our soul with the alliance (didn't realize at time though, kind of made sense then).

Sold your soul and gained nothing.

I'm not a big fan of the Alliance but those clubs are superior to non alliance by far.

Is that girls? Girls soccer doesn't matter. It's under water, practically syrup.

How did the alliance do on the boys side? Just curious.

Are you a little slow?

Apparently, since I have no idea what you are referring to or griping about.

One correction--Crossfire won BU12, not BU13.
