Latest Quakes Insider email announces a STH only event featuring State of the Franchise address from David Alioto and John Doyle 11:00-11:30 AM before the August 21 Galaxy game. Food and drink included.
this makes sense since if you don't have season tickets this season you aren't a REAL FAN and your opinion is ********ing irrelevant right ? what a ********in load of **********.
here's my state of the franchise event : lew - you're doing alright alioto - you're a ********in saint to deal with this shit doyle - you're a ********in worthless ******** yallop - you couldnt coach your way out of a ********in paper bag with scissors in your hand the players - we all know which ones are shit and which ones are worth keeping and that's the state of the franchise, cockney style.
If there's any chance to ask questions, I'd like to know how it is that the Captain of the El Salvador National team is not good enough to start on the Quakes, who are clearly not the class of MLS? Or, in a World Cup year, why were we not ready to snag a World Cup Hero (tm) from somewhere as soon as the summer transfer window opened? I don't care if we signed a Slovak or a Paraguayan. Surely, with so many players moving from one place to another we could have gotten someone good. Or, how is it that we signed a guy we touted as high profile in Javier Robles, and then hardly played him at all? Why do we play long-ball instead of trying to hold possession for a bit, to at last give our defense a rest? Why do we play long-ball, even though we lose possession at least nine out of ten long passes? Why do our coaches tell the 'keeper to boot the ball long rather than make short controlled passes or throws to our own guys to retain possession? That's just a few questions off the top of my head. GO QUAKES!! - Mark
If you really feel you need to be heard you can call the front office, or better yet, go down there in person and voice your opinion. Don't need to be a STH to do that.
Yeah, I don't think it's going to be all that exclusive. Sure they asked you to RSVP, but if you did so and weren't a STH, I doubt anyone would care. Hell, I'm sure some people may wander over there before the game just to see what's up.
I could care less about the roster right now. I just want to know when are we getting our stadium. They should make that the priority of this address.
If somebody is going to this event, please be bold enough to ask the hard questions, really hold their feet to the fire. We want answers now!
Sure....here is their web page.....tell Lew to give them a call.... http://www.tonyandalbaspizza.com/ MOUNTAIN VIEW 619 Escuela Ave. (El Camino & Escuela) View on Map Phone: 650-968-5089 Fax: 650-965-8882 Hours of Operation: Sunday- Thursday 11am to 8pm Friday and Saturday: 11am to 9pm SAN JOSE 3137 Stevens Creek Blvd. (Stevens Creek & Winchester) View on Map Phone: 408-246-4605 Fax: 408-246-0926 Hours of Operation: Sunday- Thursday 11am to 9pm Friday and Saturday: 11am to 10pm SANTA TERESA 5885 Santa Teresa Blvd. (Santa Teresa & Snell Ave.) View on Map Phone: 408-227-8669 Fax: 408-227-8542
I've got questions! When is your deadline to find a stadium sponsor? What do you plan to do if you don't have a sponsor by that date? That is all.
LOL. Why would we eat crow? Are the FO going to unveil a new stadium, a DP, a new coach, and a new GM all in one night? Pass the crow please!
If i was you all, I'll go to the Ultras tailgate. We will be offering eggs sandwiches and breakfast potatoes.
Actually I see this event as a great opportunity to tell the FO what we fans think of how thigns are been running in the club. I really don't think JD will show up, he will find some exuse no to do so.
I have observed that although STHs may rant and rave on these boards they turn into softies when face-to-face with the administration and the objects of their ire.
You may be right, but this time the amount of dissapointment in our fan base is way to great to just keep quiet !
and in the FO's ignorance, they'd take that to mean that we're all satisfied....the "lunatic fringe" made their feelings known earlier this season and people got all butthurt....future expressions of this frustration appear to be unavoidable
answers: we don't have one. not applicable. come on, they'd really say "if we don't have one by date X, we're selling the team" ? and if they were willing to start building it without a sponsor, they'd have started already (and then maybe they'd actually have a sponsor)
Damn right! Ask the hard questions, make them squirm under the bright light of their incompetence. Don't make me drive 220 miles down there to vent your spleens, do it yourselves! *rant over*
state of the franchise: Could have made the playoffs, but the GM sat around with his thumb up his butt and is now scrambling. Coach refused to play the only quality field players we had and released them. Owner giving way to much time and rope to these clowns. fans suffering from 80% jump in the recorded cases of eyeball cancer.
The state of the franchise is pathetic. The usual excuse: injuries, weather, travel, refs. field condition, stupid owner, etc.
don't forget terrible stadium with terrible food, terrible bathrooms, and no room to move the 2-3 times it's actually sold out. can't wait for the LA game...ugh...
