Script Flip: Presidio Rejects Surf

Karma is a bitch. Probably not in anyone's best interest to ever leave on bad terms - anywhere. Be polite. be professional. Do what is best for your organization but try not to burn bridges.

That makes more sense. No need for those teams to drive all over the place to get a good game. Presidio is a good fit for those teams. Surf has new management and the will of the old administration shouldn't be held against them.
outside!

I think Presidio should have let in the lower level Surf teams with some conditions (access to Polo fields and Oceanside fields for instance). This result is not surprising however. The voting members of Presidio are club DOC's or their representatives. Surf has treated so many San Diego clubs poorly over the years, that it sounds like Karma bit them in the ass. Still not a good thing that the grownups cannot get along and do what is best for the kids.
Nonsense.
Presidio makes big decisions like this by public vote - one vote for each club in good standing, and one vote for each board member. After telling all those clubs that they are leaving because their shit don't stink as bad as the locals, four years is too soon.
They still have the same President and the same powers behind the throne.
Plus since they are so great they can find a new way to poach their boys players from the "horrible South Bay clubs"...
Put some leg work in!

In my player's age group the Surf "A" team lost once in their last 3 years and it was to Carlsbad Premier Red at the time. The only other losses EVER in Presidio where to the Surf Blue team and the Surf Lemay team that merged with the Surf White team the next year. The DOC is different as are many of the key coaches and CC is not longer there. What else do you want?
Oceanside Breakers Club, which has most of its teams playing in Presidio, already has access to the Oceanside complex. Any attempt to shut them out would not go well with Oceanside City council.
Totally agree. CC was a much bigger force de majeur than the current one anyway he could have actually probably gotten it done along with some help from MC. Same circus same monkeys ...
You are repeating yourself, and Presidio clubs know better, especially on the boys side.

Accidental repeat. It doesn't change the truth. Personally I think that it is a waste for Surf's top two teams to play in Presidio even at the younger ages. All but a couple of the top players in San Diego played for Surf in my player's age group and that isn't even close to being disputed. If they played in Presidio I wouldn't have had her waste her time there. Surf knows their "A" team customers. Top players not the rank and file.
THere have been rumors for years since MC owns that complex that's surf would move there - never made sense to me
The land is owned by the City of Oceanside. They have an agreement with MC's company to build and operate the facility. One of the clauses of the agreement guarantees access to local groups.
Surf might still move there, but that seems less likely now that the Polo Fields lease has been resolved with the City of San Diego.
One of the clauses in the Polo field is access to local groups and that doesn't stop them from locking that place up tight and only allocating lacrosse tourneys once in awhile ..they have a tendency to get what they want.
Surf Soccer Club is not Surf Cup Inc.
Aware.
But don't buy into the fact that the two are not intricately woven together. It's obvious
