The latest rumor was that Team 91 Lacrosse was getting the fields but was going to share them with SYSL as well as having LIJSL itself somewhat involved in the deal but as of yet no lease has been signed with the Sachem BOE. I wonder how close to June they are going to come before setting this.

So is Paul Riley out? Heard he is moving Albertson out east on LI.Comment

PR is in Buffalo and his business on LI is in shambles. The rumor is he is losing USSF this summer and his ECNL teams are also struggling and in danger of losing status.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

USSF is struggling, but not quite at the dismissal point. Although, any more field issues and they are out. ECNL is on solid ground. They are applying for GDA but he changed his tune to ECNL from being 100% in for GDA to I am committed to ECNL. He must have got wind that USSF is not happy with how boys are doing and he is not guaranteed a GDA spot.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

There are numerous reports (including another thread on this site) alluding to him losing USSF but I have yet to see anything official about it. I would love to hear from anyone in the know if this is indeed true.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
As far as ECNL, I don't think he is on "solid ground" there either. With the impending start of the GDA, combined with potentially losing USSF, he will have a hard time keeping ECNL teams in line as well.
It is very hard to run a high level competitive program as an absentee manager.Comment

The winning bid was Team 91 lacrosse but both SYSL and LIJSL are in too as part of the deal. It will be interesting seeing all of those conflicting interests sharing one set of fields.
SYSL has even renamed the fields to be called "SYSL Soccer Park" and "Sachem Soccer Park" on their web-site and tournament ad's. So maybe that once a year mandatory soccer park game in plainview for the older age groups might be played here instead? Or maybe even the LI Cup finals?Comment

Odd that this lease wasn't included in the budget that just passed. Also odd that the for sale/lease sign is still up on the fields. Perhaps it's not going to happen after all?Comment

Still no lease. I'm kind of curious how SYSL is allowed to continue using the fields when they have no contract to do so.Comment

Team 91 pulled out and SYSL/LIJSL can't afford the fields without them. The old lease expired and the new one was never signed so SYSL is using the fields without a legal contract to do so. That is putting the club, the league and the school district in a terrible legal position. Anyone who gets injured on those fields this month are going to have a field day suing everyone. Hopefully the new board addresses this situation immediately before the district has to spend millions defending, and losing, the inevitable lawsuits from parents of injured athletes.Comment

A simple rider allowing use until a new lessee is contracted is all it would take. I'm sure something like that has already been doneOriginally posted by Unregistered View PostComment
