What should happen is that NEFC should get ECNL team, but if they didn’t, they would just go back to having NPL as top team. Yes they would lose some players (who would displace current players on other area ECNL teams) or they would stay and NEFC would have super strong NPL program again across all age groups, start winning National Championships again, which would attract other players and SSS would lose their NPL dominance again. In other words, return to 4 years ago, except Stars has 2 ECNL teams (and their NPL team is still 3rd and insignificant team).

I'm a Stars parent. If GDA disbands, I'd love to see NEFC come in to ECNL. Hopefully, that's a real possibility. If not, I'm sure that many of the NEFC DA kids will move to Scorpions or Stars, and some will stay at NEFC and play NPL. I'm not really sure what the point of the initial post is. Players will adjust to whatever the landscape is.

Leave a club because going to Stars GDA is where it's at!!
(Club leaves GDA)
Spout how wonderful it is in ECNL and even though the best players went onto one team, our team is still wonderful and we get all the same stuff the best team does and pay the same. Stars ECNL is where it's at!!
(Team gets flooded with ex-GDA players and cuts are made).
ECNL players now move to NPL, and still NPL is where it's at!!

For the record, I've never heard more of a sales pitch than from NEFC coaches about GDA.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI said some definitely would. If you think there are not current NEFC DA players who would displace Stars/Scorpions ECNL players in a heartbeat, then you are a delusional person. There are many (never said all), but many. But not all logistically can travel to Lancaster or Braintree, or desire to do so.

But, they are also league directors! Therein lies the complexity of the issue.
The clubs controls the league, and thereby they control the teams in play so they can control the results.
So, yes, I agree for their own club's interests, it's absolutely the right move.
For advancing the game and competition, it's not.
