I wonder if this would apply to Discovery League also since all their games were at Silverlakes. Definitely a game changer for teams from San Diego.

Cal South has to move most, but not all games, up there to Bakersfield because the District 6 (Larkin) and District 7 (Paulson) Commissioners, who wield the most power on the board are supporting a group of all-girls clubs (Kern County/Bakersfield's version of the the Blue's) that have previously alleged institutional sexual discrimination by Cal South against the predominately girls teams in both districts. The claims at the AGM last weekend were basically that Cal South's failure to schedule games in the northern sections of the district create an undue financial burden that predominately affects the girls teams.

Silverlakes is 120 miles for South San Diego teams and 160 miles for Bakersfield teams. Any club from San Diego that commits to CRL next year (assuming games are indeed in Bakersfield) should be avoided, they are not acting in the best interest of their players and families.

Cannot the same thing be said about teams in Southern San Diego County?

How do those people wield the most power? Why should it matter what two individuals in central cal say such that it effects and controls the overwhelming majority in so cal?
Why would anyone stand for this?
I sincerely hope that people simply say no to this.
 
As long as CRL says that is where the league is before signups so teams can decide whether to play or not I am OK with it. It can't come out after. If a team decides to do the league knowing where they play then I have no sympathy for the complaints.

Also, Silverakes fields have taken a steep decline in quality. Not sure whats going on out there but there is dirt patches all over the place like they haven't been watering at all. Also, the surface is harder than it ever has been. It needs aeration and water badly.

As a non-native Californian - I've known Bakersfield isn't a place that you visit for vacation. I never really thought about where it's located. I guess I've driven through there on the way to Mammoth, Tahoe, Napa.

But if I have to drive there for a few soccer games - I think we're taking a forfeit that weekend.

Lol, you don't drive through Bakersfield to get to Mammoth. And to get to Tahoe and Napa you would be on the 5 freeway not the 99.

If you're coming from SLO, it is the google maps recommended route.

99 is about 5-10 miles shorter than 5 to Sacramento, and lately it has been improved to full freeway status all the way.

Am I the only one that broke the code????? LOL ... Good one @MWN
 
I've been to Kern complex few times too many. From South Orange County it's 4 hours without traffic. It's an all day affair to play one game. They used to have State Cup games there back in the day and I guess they going back to it now.
It just doesn't make sense to play there unless team is from Bakersfield or very nearby.
