This new entity GDA is a different animal than our current local zoo of wacky local club behavior and delusional thinking.

Evidently you aren't intelligent enough to read and understand the requirements that ECNL ensures all clubs meet before they are invited to join the league. Not like the GDA who take anybody and everybody that will toe the party line and bow down to people like GW.
We couldn't even consider applying for the GDA due the requirements of coaching education and licensing not to mention we have no relevant teams or players in the last few years to promote on an application.
Were just waiting to see if we land back in the OYSA, because if the ECNL actually has standards that cause our club to be removed based on our poor record in the ECNL competition.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostOur club decided to join about two years ago, other than the ability to pay for travel and provide a home field no other standard was required. We came straight out the US Club OPL league after it folded, we found this league as a landing spot, luckily there weren't any rigid requirements other than those mentioned above. Maybe some requirements have been installed since and we signed up and our club is grandfathered in without having to meet any of this new requirements. So be it.

Thorns know that they can not attract any of the talent in Oregon so they will quietly forget to announce tryout dates, coaches names, etc. and everyone will quickly forget they ever existed.

Don't they already have Boise Timbers & some Academy in CalNorth? Expansion must help pay the bills. Competition is good.

Beaverton cup is embarrassing.
How did someone think this was a good idea?
