It has always been that way. So I have to pay to maintain these folks chewing them up so my kids can play in mud? YET ANOTHER reason to boot out illegal immigrants. What a sane decision. Also, these so called "hard working" folks seem to have boatloads of time and energy on their hands every night until 11PM and even early in the AM. How do they hold down steady jobs? Answer: They don't have them and are loose migrant molecules in our society that would be best back fighting against corruption and injustice in their home countries than running here and taking the easy way out. Our founding fathers provide an example this COULD be done and did that when they stood up to England - but I guess they don't teach US history anymore and these folks think America "just happened."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-10346863962316141222011-07-12T21:28:02.424-04:002011-07-12T21:28:02.424-04:00Yeah, a lot of the pick up groups seem more like u...Yeah, a lot of the pick up groups seem more like unofficial organized groups. Having some local kids/adults playing pickup games for an hour or two is one thing, but having unofficial organized groups who play almost every week is another. I say if these unofficial organized groups set up "pickup games" at least 3-4x a month... sign up for the field officially the proper way!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-89137782305572975002011-07-09T09:37:04.033-04:002011-07-09T09:37:04.033-04:00These walk on groups take up the entire field for ...These walk on groups take up the entire field for most of the day, so they dont have much of an argument.

You can access them here: http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/archives/052511-po-pkg.pdf. But they pretty much boil down to two main concerns: maintenance and behavior. Many of the league representatives say they have put a lot of time and resources into maintaining the fields and that it's sometimes hard to get walk-on players to leave.Annandale Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07543558586252790593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-4794663739645330692011-07-07T13:35:06.009-04:002011-07-07T13:35:06.009-04:00I guess the Annandale Blog can have a point of vie...I guess the Annandale Blog can have a point of view, but I would like to hear the other side – what is the reason behind the restrictions?
