If true, possibly because they have had financial issues for years, as well as field difficulties (who doesn't of course). Maybe this lessens both of these. Have to see the books.

Maybe I am missing a piece of the puzzle. Blues have a strong ECNL affiliation, Strikers were just booted from ECNL 2 years ago. Would that not ruffle some feathers??
That occurred to me too. But I'd think they be shooting for Boys ECNL.
Well, if my dd ever gets asked what clubs she played for she can now drop Strikers FC from the list. It will look better than all the club hopping perceptions
One down a few more to go. Blues always worked on a small budget, relied on Blues Cup and from what I hear, the fields at the Ranch was a huge blow. I would have sold the club in 2017 and took the cash if I were Crazy Larry and Tad.Soccerjunkie24

They more or less did, my understanding is FC Goldenstate owns Blues, and have for quite a while back to when they were struggling financially. So wondering if the boys may tap into that side of things somehow. Or Maybe they just go all Blues or 50/50. Either way interesting.Well, if my dd ever gets asked what clubs she played for she can now drop Strikers FC from the list. It will look better than all the club hopping perceptions
Out of curiosity does the Blues give out scholarships and if so how much? Could that be some of their financial problems?Well, if my dd ever gets asked what clubs she played for she can now drop Strikers FC from the list. It will look better than all the club hopping perceptions
not really. I think maybe on rare occasions they do but your going to need to give back to the club your time if your the parent of one of those players so then your really working off the scholarship so honestly do they give out scholarships? I would say no they don't.
Not when my dd played there. They did help with those in financial need. You fill out a form and see how much help you can get. No coach from Blues walked around the fields handing out full rides like the other big clubs. in 2016, I (for my kid) was offered full rides by 5 top socal clubs and Blues was not one of them.
Wonder why they would be in any financial problems then. Maybe just operating out of OC parks is expensive? Hard to rely on one tournament a year? Did notice they added a Thanksgiving tournament this year.

My kids team with 3 different clubs giving out free/half fee to their goalie. With the blues, my DD team went thru 1 season without a goalie. The coach said blues do not allow fee reduction.

I have heard of a few cases where Blues have given scholarships to girls. In one case multiple siblings were playing there at once...of course this is hearsay from others so who knows?!!!
