Huh?
I ask a question like, "Why did they leave?", and you come back and ask me a completely unrelated question?
Why are you asking me a question you already know the answer to, and why is it directed at me?
Let me make something 100% clear: I HAVE NO VESTED INTEREST IN EITHER LEAGUE!
Maybe at one point I did, I don't now. I play, maybe, 6 matches a year at the M1 level, and could care less what league we are in (now the FVSL, until Rangerforever accepts an offer to leave to the VMSL, that is). I do this solely for peace of mind: my body tells me I should quit. I like playing the odd semi-competitive match w/ a bunch of other old farts. That's where my involvement begins and ends.
I don't coach in either league.
I am not part of the BOD of either league. I also can't stand Thomas Mills, think he's a fcuking twat, and if I ever have to be in the same room as that lying two faced fcuk again, it'll be too soon. Just so we all know, because of him, I'm really not the biggest FVSL fan, either. Just so happens my team plays in it.
Clear?
I do like these discussions, though, and at the moment, I'm very curious as to why they left...and it seems you are VERY defensive of that question.
So...to your knowledge, why have they left?
No other team will leaveWhy should I?
I have no idea why SU or any other team left or will leave one league to go to another.
Could you please let me know if you find that out?
Thanks in advance.
No other team will leave
Please do not lose sleep over this
We just need to have on line registration and ref reports on line no more wasting every ones time
At the VMSL office all that gas wasted by every one
Online registration this September
No more excuses
According to the office if there is a playoff game it would be between the second place teams from div 2 a and b. That would be strikers and normal who each finished with 50 pts. Norvan finished ahead of Campo based on the rule 6.4b. That's where if 2 teams r tied in a div it is decided by rule 5.3. U read that rule 5.3a it says the team with more points between the 2 teams is on top. That would be Norvan as Campo took only 1 pt in the 2 games.3 Teams on 50 points in div 2
Campo
Norvan
Strikers
Only goals for and against
If there is to be a play off this would be it
I was talking w/ @utah, and he hypothesized that the Umbro deal may have had something to do w/ it?
Anything?
Anyone?
Bueller?
Deal.If you find out, you let me know, if I find out, I'll let you know.
I'm hearing this is a pretty popular post in outside circles.Huh?

Some thoughts on these significant developments:
Lastly, the imminent departure of Surrey United leaves a bit of a void in the VMSL Premier division. Promoting three Div 1 teams is not the answer. We have come full circle. It wouldn't be a stretch if down the road we are having meetings on how to reduce the number of teams in the VMSL Premier division. Deja vu...
- Massive coup for the FVSL to land a perennial soccer powerhouse of a club like Surrey United. I don't blame the FVSL or any league for that matter in their efforts to improve their calibre. I just hope there aren't any backroom deals. Transparency really is crucial for any league, board, committee or governing body.
- Ironic it was only a few years ago Surrey United was against leaving the VMSL for the so called Super League because the calibre of play was stronger with the status quo.
- Why do we play the game? Presumably to play in the highest and best level of competition. I also presume that is why Surrey United came over...err...were given a spot in the VMSL Premier division in the late 90's
- Is having registrations paid for, new kit and prize money all it takes for a deal like this to be consummated? Based solely on that It puzzles me how any rationale executive committee can say "sign me up". There has to be more.
- Geography: With the existing Fraser Valley based teams in the VMSL almost 66% of Surrey United's games were played in "The Valley". They travelled outside of their region for only 8 of 22 games.
- Depletion of players to Caps and Universities and work committments: Several clubs deal with these same scenarios. Players having to juggle between work commitments and play is a constant in amateur soccer that all teams deal with.
- I really hope the lure of an "easier" provincial cup spot is not a factor in this decision.
- Good luck to Surrey United and time will tell if this decision is in the best interest of their youth/players.
