Home Forums Long Island & Eastern New York Soccer Message Boards BOTN Main Message Board Albertson Fury DA Club has been removed from the GDA program

BOTN was told that the Federation advised Paul Riley yesterday (6/7). BOTN does not know if the players/parents have been told yet. Will Riley move these Albertson Fury FC players into the FC Fury or will the players tryout to make a move to LISC? LISC is currently holding tryouts!!

Will LISC have an 03 DA team? Hope so! Larry, can you check into that? We need another option now.

LISC have requested that age group with the Federation based on growing interest this spring. LISC is waiting for the decision from the Federation.

The shoe has dropped.

Yeah the one that had already stepped into doggie doodoo.

Nope haven’t been told yet

California cancelled??????

Great, so what do we do with our kids now? Is it possible it's only a certain age group?

All good questions. Albertson has collapsed the 2 clubs into 1 ( Fury) per
Reprimand from the DA

Last tryouts today and only new kids were ones that did not make EM and SUSA teams
as both finished tryouts this past week.

Most Albertson age groups lost Girls to LISC and EM(so far)

Fury will simply backfill with whomever is still left and the business
Goes on.

Soccer drama and tryouts on LI now done and complete ?

So are we still going to San Diego? Come on Paul, why are we hearing this second hand again?

Why don't you contact the club instead of hyperventilating about something you read online?

When there's smoke, there's fire, you newbie! Remember ECNL from last year's rant? How PR spun with Albertson still has a hold on that?

Because they ignore emails and calls. You obviously don't know how they work.

You assume the club actually responds or bothers to get back to you. And even if they do most of it never happens.
You would think if the team is folding and major changes are happening that the club would let the parents know what they can do.... and also let them know what the club will be offering going forward so they try to retain their customers.

Not for nothing but I don't have much sympathy for parents who fell for this con. Prior behavior is a strong indicator for future behavior yet people ignored it.

The kids, on the other hand, I have a great deal of sympathy for. They're being yanked around by the adults like chattel.

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on ME

Albertson parents nieve! Paul got you again second year in a row!

I have sympathy for your mommy and your Cattle 🐄

So he wanted $1,200 by the 15th of May and we don't know what we're paying for.

and it was nonrefundable. wow.

If this is how they "work" , why would you let your daughter play for them?

some people like the drama, they embrace it! Its a reality show!

Maybe because we trust him and the process. Oh well...

You guys think Paul is sweating this decision. He will takes those teams and rebrand them somehow to plays in ____ League. He will promise them all college scholarships and if they excel they will move on to the mighty Fury DA. The sad part will all of that is you idiot parents will buy what he says and sign your kids up again with your eyes close and wallets open (LOL).

Some will but a lot have been showing up at tryouts for other clubs. LISC, SURF EMSC. PR lost a lot of kids last year when he pulled his ECNL to DA stunt. Now he is losing a lot more. Parents ain't gona pay $k to play in some crap league. AT least before he had ECNL to offer and then DA. Now he has very little to offer. He will have 1 top team in each age group and then little after that. A far cry from what he used to have.
