    As far as attracting all of the top players onto one team, it sounds good on paper but very unlikley to happen. Lower Fairfield county kids already commute 45 to 50 minutes to Bethany, no chance they go to Farmington or Portland.

    CFC had a few teams that pulled kids from Northern Hartford county for the allure of the recruiting. CFC has also had kids drive from Farmington to Bethany. Try that one on!

    Just because these two clubs come together doesn't guarantee an improved product not to mention these are privately owned businesess. Why would these guys give up 100% ownership and control to at best have 50% control of a smaller pie. Keep in mind that merging two club doesn't mean you retain all of the players. Odds are you chase 10% of them away.
    Stop making sense! New(er) parents don't have the perspective. FSA picking up SoccerPlus and the ECNL entry was supposed to make them the dominant club in CT. We all see how that has worked out!

      They've actually gone down since that happened, which is quite a feat as S+ wasn't good. Every year FSA was claiming "this year is going to be it! A turn around" 😁

        Oakwood is trying to sell but no takers. No way FSA wants them. Only two would be sporting or vail and that would make for an even weaker Oakwood. Oakwood is a mess right now they need a ton of work done. Fields need new turf parking lot needs major repair. Indoor place well needs a complete overhaul. It is kind of like a house of cards that could fall at anytime. Not what it once was when my older one played there. Not a basher I hope they make it and return it to what it once was cause it was the place to be.

              Not angry dad but he speaks the truth. They have ignored the girls side for years. They passed on ECNL, then when they realized what a big mistake that was, hoped GDA would help them.

                  Am I? No one needs Oakwood but every merger for Oakwood with an ECNL team would be a great thing. Here's the thing. Oakwood no longer has a platform for their girls or boys teams and CFC and FSA will continue to take their players now with 0 cost of them. See your kid at on of our practices soon?

                      Imagine, Oakwood and Fsa as slices of bread. Add in Yankee and you have a true sheet sandwich.

                        Ask around you will find out who is leaving Oakwood. CFC North and FSA and Sporting are all picking up Oakwood kids
