When should we expect "the announcement" At this point, the "announcement" better be extraordinary...

No merger huh? Well by confirming that did we confirm it was one of the others? LOL Seems odd that they would push all USClub and SCCL but want to keep DA? Isn’t DA not US Club I thought that was the battle CF had with going “All-In” and dropping DA. I would lean more towards a rumor of a “huge announcement” being something like UFA has the only girls DA program in the area. On the heels of a TopHat All-In ECNL announcement. (Because that’s how rumors get started ha ha ha) Or some sort of Atlanta United announcement. Or maybe it’s just that the turf fields at Fowler are done. Or maybe they bought Polo Fields. Or they are switching from an Addidas Club to a Nike Club. No nothing with Atlanta Fire...

As long as they don't turf it. Hate to see that land get turned into condos...

Unless they find a way to get rid of those rubber pellets.

If they're going to keep it (doubtful).. it really needs a full re-grading and re-sodding.

Re-grading / re-sodding with drainage and irrigation. Just like the old days...

Re-grading / re-sodding with drainage and irrigation. Just like the old days... oh.. and lights. ... and bathrooms.. and some kind of shelter for inclement weather (there's currently nowhere for kids to go if there's a lightning delay, etc)

The bathrooms are actually still there, but they're locked and there is no running water anymore.

The bathrooms are actually still there, but they're locked and there is no running water anymore. Yeah, the first time I ever went there (5 or so years ago) I was bummed to see a bathroom locked up. What I would like all venues do is to have one of those rental trailers with the portable potties at least at tournaments. My first intro to Polo was when my youngest had just been potty trained and when I took her to the port a John and the crap was as high as the seat I made her wear diapers the rest of the weekends.

Is the potential announcement they are dropping DA and are going all in with ECNL? Spot open now that Tophat is gone and will allow there players to play HS. They would probably pick up some defectors from Tophat ECNL

So, as this is only a few days away, supposedly...will there actually be an announcement on May 11? How will they disseminate the information since it will not be at the now-canceled Gala?

The announcement is UFA Gwinnett previously known as GSA south & north. Probably not true but based on Concorde/SSA, and NTH it makes a little bit of sense to have access to both ECNL & DA. Just overheard two convos now on this topic. Thought I’d share and see if anyone else has heard this rumor. The convo wasn’t from anyone with a credible source.

A better fit IMO would be Norcross somehow joining GSA. Never going to happen but why not unite the rest of Gwinnett County? LOL.

Don’t they want their clubs “all in.”
