[VMSL Rumour] AFC premier spot sold?

**Regs** · 03-06-2006, 11:58 AM

I've heard a story that AFC has sold their spot.

The buyer? Let's just say that if this is true, there is another team from Div 1 potentially coming up next year that is not in a promotion race right now.

**Dapotayto** · 03-06-2006, 12:02 PM

Give us a hint will ya.

I will guess...Meralomas!

Just kidding, I'll take Pegasus.

SCP · 03-06-2006, 12:12 PM

my guess....burnaby canadians find a way to stay in the premier...or do i mean ifc polonia...if they can't earn it by winning maybe they will just buy it...

Dude · 03-06-2006, 12:32 PM

Isn't this the team that at one time was Romania, and bought their Prem spot with a paper bag full of cash?

Anyone? Bueller?

**knvb** · 03-06-2006, 01:08 PM

I heard rumblings it was Peg. The fact that Regs did the first post makes me think it's even more likely.

I would say Slurrey Peg, they are mid pack in div. 1 but want back up to the big show. They just beat Burnaby Polska in Imperial Cup on the weekend. They don't look to bad, very young and with a few additions they could stay up.

But why does the Surrey FC. club want the Rangers to play off for the FVSL Premier spot with Poco?
Do they want the young guys up in that Premier league?

HOS, you're much wiser than the colour of your hair suggests.

**Hands of Stone** · 03-06-2006, 01:21 PM

Yes I like Wisers, it is a good cheap whiskey.

Wise HOS

Grimm · 03-06-2006, 01:21 PM

Also heard from a reliable source it was Peg....

LFC2 · 03-06-2006, 01:25 PM

Anybody able to offer any insight to what these spots are worth, past and present?

Dude · 03-06-2006, 01:31 PM

Wouldn't surprise me one bit if it were Peg. They have this smart, cagey accountant that is probably looking at the books, and the Club is sitting in a nice, profitable position. So, the Rangey...erm...cagey accountant decided that, hey, the club should have a Premier spot, and HOS will never lead the Rangers to the Promised land in the FV, and they don't want to pay more taxes than we should...buying a VMSL Premier spot would be a good expenditure right now...

Probably would get them down a tax bracket or two.

Too bad nobody knows who this strange, Rangey accountant could be. Otherwise, we could just ask him.

Or her.

Right then.

It now looks as if Langley have thrown their name into the hat?!?

Dude · 03-06-2006, 01:34 PM

LFC2 would have to cough up the anual Soccerwest sales meeting in Cozumel, for the next three years, for that- and I'm not so sure Missy would be in favor.

Stranger · 03-06-2006, 01:57 PM

Would not suprise me. Peg had approached one of our cagey vets about buying WFC Rangers spot if we win our next 3 matches. If the guys win the next 3 it's ours however we won't be counting on it until the final whistle blows!.............................................. If it does happen any takers????????????????????????????????????????????????

$5-10K is the number I've heard bandied about in the past but that seems a little on the high side for the league these days (stock value is depreciating at an alarming rate I think)

Hypothetically, of course...
who would get the money? Would they enter a Div 1 team...or just use the money for a huge bash?

whataboutbob · 03-06-2006, 02:37 PM

Get it back down to 10 teams and then the spot value will be again at 5-10K

No, we got outbid by Temple. Apparently they're worried about shitting the bed against Fiji and don't want to miss out on promotion for the 17th year in the row

**rangerforever** · 03-06-2006, 06:02 PM

Surrey FC has a new Treasurer Dude.
The last one told me herself that she had resigned.

I did however comment to Adam and Fiddsy and the boys after training last week what a shame it was to see such good talent playing in Division one though...
