Thanks USL, what a 24 carat **** up in the Royals schedule. The last 6 are all on the road, in 15 days.

Literally just get back from one & off for another. And how come they couldn't pslit the division to allow teams like Palmetto, Carolina, Nashville, Sothern West Virginia Warrior Kings (wtf ??) and WV Chaos play in their own division, leaving the Roayls, Real Md, Freds & Va Beach to join another localish side in a 5 team league ?

Way to think of the fans people.

Changing gears a bit, anyone know what happened to Doc?

He's around on Facebook. The Royals had a rough season and a craptacular schedule. I think he'd probably rather forget this season, especially after making the playoffs last year. I'll tell him you were asking about him though, he may reappear.

I have seen the Doc at all of the Royals games this season, not sure why he doesn't post here as much.

The photo from the above link shows the good Doc clutching the Commonwealth Cup trophy at Virginia Beach, proof that he still lurks about......
