Re: Accrington Stanley partnership with USA team

Dave, that is the team, AFC Cleveland. Not a fan of the logo. The Accrington Info on the website has disappeared, that's why we're still calling it a rumour. AFC's first season will not start until 2012, so we'll get one season before the end of the world . The fact that we're excited about a team that is a year away and has no players is an indication of how desparate some of us are for a professional team.

It is my understanding that the team will play in the National Premier Soccer League which is a fourth tier league. I know putting "premier" in the name of a fourth tier league is a bit confusing, but you know how we Americans are about sporting names. I consider it a semi-pro league because it includes college players that need to maintain their amateur status. They only play during the summer in what is a pretty short season.

My hope is that some of your players will come over here to play on the team during the summer. Does that seem like something that would be possible for your players?

Thanks for the info and well wishes
