WTF?
So what is the point of asking a club to "host" the event if they are going to do the work themselves (booking hotels and such)?
Sounds like they want clubs to arrange fields and event-day operations but control the financial side of things for their own coffers.
Really, BC Soccer in the past few years have done some very good things but it always seems like one step forward, two steps back.
Obviously we are just ranting on a website that probably does not hold much weight in the executive's eyes, but jesus h christ, someone down there must recognise that there is a problem? I told Keith Ryan as much in an interview 2 years ago and he went so far as to agree with me as well as ask what I thought could be done about.
So much for constructive criticism
