This thread is to allow all the Casbah members to sound off for the 2008 season. I'm looking for those who have purchased season tickets in the Casbah section and who likewise intend to support the group. I'm not looking to step on any toes but this might be a good way to get to introduce ourselves.
I'm from Fremont and will be dragging my twin boys Haruki and Leta to the games.

Haruki
LetaThings that I would like to see the Casbah offer.
Car window decals for the Casbah
Casbah T-shirts for members
Tailgating at the games
Car pooling to games when possibleIt would be great if the items above could be purchased with the proceeds going back towards the organization. The tailgating should be a given and the carpooling would be nice when members live near one another.

These things best discussed over pints at the Brit. Ideas seem to flow that way...

Alrighty, my name is Ian. I've got my tickets in the Casbah section, and i'm present and ready to do whatever is needed to continue and build this group. I was around in the 2005 season but i never really introduced myself to folks. I've got my home-made "deserters will be shot on sight" t-shirt from the Donovan return game still in the closet to be brought back out. Anyways, i'll probably be bringing my girlfriend to most of these games.
My ideas:
A newsletter
A podcast
More chants (maybe some lengthier, more song-type ones)
All of which i'm willing to work on

My name is Mark, and I'm a Quakes addict.
I want to pay for a Casbah membership. I will attend when I can. Sadly (or not), I live a long ways away, so I can't make it to very many games. It's not the cost of the tickets to the match, it's the cost of airline tickets, or driving some 700 miles.
Oh well.
GO QUAKES!

Alright, six of us when you include Melman6. That puts us at $150.00. Does anyone know just how much confetti that will buy us after the cost of the scarfs? :rolleyes:

My name is Bill and I have seats that are not in the Casbah, since my wife likes to sit during games. But when she's not in attendance I'll be with you guys.
I'm also running the Web site, www.thecasbah.org and am in the process of setting up Wordpress software which will enable anyone who is interested in doing so to contribute content, including podcast content.
I'm also setting up mailing lists (using Mailman software) for announcements and discussions.

Thanks for setting this up. Let me know if you need some help with updating the page. There are still a lot of links pointing to spartan etc.

I got front row...where are the drums going, and who's got 'em? Might add one to the parking lot instrument.
Oh yeah, my name's big, and I'm a futbolaholic. [attendees: "Hi big"]

Alright, 18 people now. If we chant together the nearest keeper might be able to hear us. What do we need to do to get the rest of the casbah lurkers to sound off?

Two tickets in row 4 for my son and I, and will see you all in late May when I get back to the bay area! Until then my son and I imagine one of his soccer buddies will be in attendance.
Viva Er Beti Manque Lopera!

I have 2 tickets in the Casbah.
I believe this "roll call" was also done in a thread in the main forum earlier, started by Melman6. I reported there at that time. You may want to review and integrate those thread results to assist your informal BigSoccer roll call.

Hey Guys,
I have 3 seats in the middle of row four. When you guys get a chance please check our the Casbah website. Bill has been working hard on giving it an upgrade. It's still an work in progress so please forgive any outdated links. But I personally think it looks much improved. Looking forward to seeing you all opening day.

SteveO checking in... I'm one of the original Casbah members from the Clash days. I'm off in the Boston area now but still a San Jose faithful. I won't be making it to a lot of games but I'll be trying to drop over to the left coast for a few games armed with Bier and Brats! And as always I'll have the Casbah Division up on mfls.
Go Clash!

I'm currently a ways away, but I still want to be involved. I'll be following the Quakes games from here in Korea, and wherever else the Army sends me.

Sup dude. So are you a newfound Seongnam Chunma or Suwon Bluewings fan?
