    I wonder what FH will do? With their fields and them still having soccer contacts they could try and rebuild starting with a youth academy. The problem that I see with that is they have already missed the boat with NEP/NEC and would be looking at a long road back to just being able to compete in a town travel league. Not to mention they would be competing with Fortis who already exist in that market and even if they get past that they still would be at a big disadvantage with existing Premier clubs already established in their area, (GPS, Liverpool, NEFC, etc.)

        Some decent players, aggressive, but mostly played the long ball game to speedy forwards. Definitely have players that can play possession in the midfield, but consistently play kick and run.
        Be honest, Decent HS level players, no one with any outstanding technical skill. Even the top players from this team will be irrelevant even at the npl level. Good move for them, to get some exposure, but most likely too little too late to catch up skill wise.

          That train has left the station. Best odds are they will sell the real estate and live off the cash.

              There's part of the problem that led to the end. MB had multiple chances to sell off the hay field he called a practice field and build a super complex elsewhere. In one case the land developer offered a land swap and would do the initial grading on a really nice piece of property adjacent the town soccer fields, but MB was too greedy and the deal died.

                In the end, the fields will be taken away, MB refuted that he owed RE TAXES on the fields.

                  What a tragic end. MBjr runs the club into the ground and then looses 2mil of prime real estate because he couldn't pay the taxes!
