You rock!

5) A "SSS" plan...I had what I thought was an original design in mind, only to find while watching some EPL last night that my "vision" looked a lot like White Hart Lane.

4) A break from Nike. If we could hook up with a manufacturer that would actually meet demand, think of the product marketing we could do. And while we're on the subject...

3) A budget and a staff for Johnny Moore. One man can only do so much. And as much as we ask for (advertising, promotion, product, entertainment, etc...), it would take a gargantuan staff and budget to meet our requirements.

2) Donovan, in perpetuity. Only one thing would be better...

1) Knowing we'll be in San Jose...in perpetuity. The uncertainty of the last few years has done nothing to help build our base. Knowing that we'll be here next year and not in Seattle or Milton Keynes or Contractionville is the most important element in making us a stable club.

Great, your wishes make mine seem selfish and trivial......at least I didn't ask for Yves. :D

too bad jumbotron costs something like $15k per game. yikes. who knew?

and i agree, wish that there was any kind of a post-game wrap up on the televised games!

jimmy conrad bobblehead

new sound system at spartan (without those f-ing poles getting in the way!)

[sonofapitch]

1) Quakes given "eminent domain" status so they will be here forever.

2) Average attendence of 18,000 regardless of record.

3) Donovan given "eminent domain" status so he stays here forever.

4) Enough staff and finances so that Johnny Moore need only delegate.

5) The Triple--Supporter's Shield, U.S. Open Cup (bouncing LA in the process) and MLS Cup (with no postseason for LA.)

*** Number 5 seems attainable!

[Defender]

The list Spartacus put together, plus a few others:

- MLS HQ stating a minimum amount of time until they review the situation in SJ. Get some pressure off the front office and give a vote of confidence to the team.

- Establishing a reserve/youth team to develop local talent. Get pro training to the top youth. In addition to that, establish teams/programs/scouting groups to find good talent that might fall through the cracks for a number of reasons (financial situation, exposure, possible bias because of ethnicity, etc).

- Soccer Specific Stadium would be terrific with good/great public transportation access. It would be a good attendance boost. But that wish is a long way down the road.

Fixed #1 and #5. :D

#2, #3, and #4 can be attainable, though #2 might be a challenge.

Also the Quakes be given their own weekly show where the players can be profiled and the latest team news can be broadcasted. Also the fan(s) of the week gets to be profiled for a few minutes so they can have their so called 15 minutes of fame.

Cheers!

My top wish

"Seeing Peter Bridgewater jump into the stands again and go after the rowdy supporters like he did during the second Clash home game during the first season!

That was a gem to watch!

Saludos y Musho Clash!

A beer tap at each season ticket holders seat. Just swipe your credit card when you sit down and like a gas pump, it starts to charge by the gallon. So as not to defeat the purpose, a retractable under-seat funnel that taps into the sewer for urinary relief.

I thought those things routed to the Budweiser tap...

A great idea!!! I know why you want this--so your wife will stop checking out Bower and Graziani on her way to the beer stand. :)

[spejic]

1) A giant disk held up by a robot arm that blocks out the sun for the people that sit on the east side.

2) Trade Ekelund for Simon Elliott

3) Lucci scores one goal a game for the rest of the season, despite Yallop not playing him for more than 4 minutes a game.

4) In his first game for Baron Munchausen, after Landon scores a goal he takes off his shirt to reveal a Quakes jersey. Then he takes that off to reveal his abz.

5) Team renamed the Clash, and go back to exciting .500 record.

I wouldn't mind so much if my beer didn't get warm while she was gawking. :(
