Any league updates? Seems like there is not enough teams to fill a league for spring weekdays. Is it safe to assume the same for Sunday mornings?

I`m still hoping we have a league. I`m looking at options right now, might mean having to find a compromise but I`m trying.

really upsetting what has happened to this league. I do understand that the lack of teams causes a lack of funds but I do believe it is snowballing. Can we get back to open use of the message boards. Let the internes gansta`s back. Sometimes it`s stupid ish, but at least it gets interest. Let`s keep the website current. What happened to final 4 pictures? Championship teams used to get medallions for all members...now 1 person gets a trophy. At the very least film the championship game(s) and offer copy`s to the team at a price. Teams will come back, but she`s humming.

Appreciate the feedback. I`ve got no issues with any of that. I need to do better with pictures. To be honest, most of this comes down to me struggling to find time to keep up but I`m resolving to do better and pull in more help going forward.

May be a little too late, to be completely honest. Many of the veteran teams of the `glory days` have either retired, folded or changed to a different league. This league has been neglected for the last 3 years, slowly going downhill. It`s really a shame. Not blaming Josh or Tom, but there has been very little communication, and as stated by `grey beard,` shutting the message board made people lose interest. Best of luck, like many others, I have great memories of the IFFL.

I don`t disagree the communication has been bad. I`m changing that though. I`m going to focus on the teams who are still with us and making sure we`re responsive from here on out.

it was a good run while it lasted. RIP FCFFL.

Oh, and I did open the messageboards back up. Feel free to post/bash away :)

Josh,
many of us volunteered last fall (and prior) to help. I am sure the offer still stands. why don`t you go to the FAX site and see who jumped and offer them a "discount" or something to come back. some money and another team or two each season is better than losing them for good.

Some of the other teams may know someone in FAX or another league, offer something to bring teams back. Let`s get creative, this used to be so much fun, we have so much talent in this league, I know we can get that back.

Just check "you know who`s" website...you literally allowed them to rob you of all your business. 7pt Spread, Collision, TMT, Banditos, Whoopdiddy, The Villians, United, Outcast, Rebels, Orange Assault, Cougars, TTG, Perpetually Neutral, Choppa City, MPBC, Goodfellas...16 teams that changed leagues this year and I`m sure some changed names so its probably closer to 20. At $800 a team...do the math...

I want to feel bad for "this league" but I don`t. This league has been run into the ground. It used to be fun with messageboard banter, pictures, videos, stats...more importantly it seemed like whoever ran the league actually wanted to make it a good experience for the players. I`m not sure exactly when that all changed but it did and when the commissioners stop caring about the experience for the players and still justify charging you more money, this is what happens. CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. A word every organization should be using daily. Let it be a lesson learned. I wish FCFFL the best of luck and hope it all works out. "You know who" used to be the joke league we would make fun of...now all your heavy hitters are playing over there. Come on man.

To make it worse, you don`t allow anyone to post F X A? I had to edit my post above because everytime I wrote F X A it wouldn`t let me post. I replace it with "you know who" and no problem. See that`s just the issue with this league. Stop trying to control everything and just let teams play football! Serves you right. You think you`re losing business b/c people are talking about F X A and saying stuff on the messageboard. In reality, you`ve treated your customers horribly over the last few years and now you`re paying for it. It`s time to face the music and stop being in denial if you ever want this league to prosper again!!!

If this league is going to come back number one goal needs to be building competitive divisions. No one cares how good your best teams are if it kills the morale of the rest of your division. It hurts the league when teams know they have no chance. It hurts the league when teams dont want to stick around because they know the game after them is going to be a blowout.

How many teams have we all seen start out in the lower levels, slowly work their way up to mid, then be rushed into making that next step into A, get their doors blown off, and then disappear never to be seen again? Those teams should be the lifeblood of a league like this.

Does anyone know what happened to the Warriors record vs. stallions it doesn`t show but they won

it was a good run for this league #RIP

I agree...I`m an old vet who hasn`t played in 3+ years. I jumped on the MB only because I received a email blast that the league was falling apart. I wanted to see what was up, so here I am. Here is the bottom line and this will definitely her someone`s feelings but its a FACT...Josh my friend, you gotta go, running a league that requires a personality, commitment and TIME isn`t for you. The reason I left (and team) is because you always had an excuse (that revolved around time) of why XYZ wasn`t done and that you would do a better job. Well fast forward 3 years and you basically are saying the same thing. Here is a pointer for you...I can remember when Tom would email, call, txt the captains of teams and say, "are you playing this season, we could really use your squad" or "I don`t see you registered for states yet, is your squad in? the 703 needs you in states"...he would make it personal, he was able to do that because it was easy for him (Tom), what you don`t realize is that you don`t have the personality, sorry if that hurts, but its true. I`m not saying you need to leave all together, but you definitely can`t be the face of the league, its not in your "wheelhouse" you are not "personable" enough...sorry dude...and Josh, we go way back, I remember you from the Baron Cameron Park days...stay behind the scenes and let someone else be the face...give it 2 years (6 seasons) and the league will be good again.

I have played in this league for many years. It has been a slow decline. Once Tom seemed to move out of the picture, Josh initially tried to step into his role....and I think most can agree that things haven`t worked out very well. However, I don`t think you can say "Josh doesn`t have the personality." I think Josh just need to commit to bringing the league back up to speed, and NEEDS help. It`s not an easy side job, and is time consuming. With that said, it will take a few years, if ever, to restock the lost teams and talent if this league is to remain a viable league. It once was the best around, with the top talent who could compete at the state and nationals level. It would be great to see it get back there.
