But if Sachem and Smithtown aren't sharing players, does that mean they both get separate ECNL slots or would Smithtown field the ECNL teams and Sachem field the ECNL RL teams? Either way, this is awesome news for LI soccer.

You are smoking the good stuff if you think Smithtown or Sachem is going to get ECNL or anything like it. If you think your kid has the goods to play on an ECNL team then go tryout for one of the two clubs that already have it. Thinking that they will dilute the brand in an extremely watered down player pool is foolish.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostNah, they only have it to Susa because PR literally took a dump on ECNL-skirting their "rules", denouncing the league publicly in multiple interviews and fielding teams that were in way over their heads.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostNo one has said Smithtown or Sachem is getting ECNL. Stop trying to read between the lines. All you are doing is making up total nonsense. And by the way, I'm a Smithtown parent and I can guarantee Smithtown has never told anyone they are getting ECNL. To be clear neither Smithtown nor Sachem are getting ECNL. Again, if you think either is these clubs are a waste of time, why do you waste time posting about them? There must be something there. Just worry about your own club and stop posting about clubs you know nothing about and are not a part of. And if/when there Smithtown or Sachem has another announcement to make, they will make it. Until then, focus on your own kid.
Go question TL yourself.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThis is so true. SUSA never gets ECNL if Paul Riley doesn't do what he did. Let's at least be honest about that. Right place, right time, with plenty of money. SUSA did not get ECNL because they were some great powerful club steeped in some rich history of success.
Plus, RA had been working the ECNL angle for a few years and had cultivated relationships with all the East Coast DOCs, who also happen to be decision makers for ECNL as a league (hello Stars and PDA), who were very helpful in guiding him towards even having a shot at ECNL. Why do you think ISA merged with KK Atletico and tried to launch ISA West? ECNL requires a deep player pool that ISA alone just didn't have. But they did have NPL which at the time was considered by many to be the #2 league and ISA was seeing a lot of success there-in conference, regionally and nationally.
Eventually both Susa and ISA realized they weren't going to beat the other. Susa had the $$$ and the numbers, ISA had the better reputation, relationships and league affiliation. The 2 clubs together check all the boxes for ECNL all they had to do was wait it out...
