I'm not from that area but it would be nice if a lot of clubs would work together. I understand the competition, but in the end the whole purpose for Soccer Clubs is to develop local/regional youth to become better players of the beautiful game while also improving the overall quality of the player pool of those that are in school and those that perform nationally and professionally.
For my area, it would be nice for a Bulls affiliate to come in and try to work with us, but no such this has happened. So we have put together a group that will maximize the channels we have and try to grow from within though our area is declining. Another area I know of could benefit from some of the coastal clubs, but no dice. Things are seen as what is most cost effective while still improving their brand. I may be slightly off topic, but I feel that small clubs are in the grey area while the Big Boys are arguing over who will get top dog.
