Quake wish list re-visited.....your top 5 wishes(quake-related)

Fixed number 1 for you.

 

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.

 

who said there was anything wrong with being selfish?

everything you said plus:

1) slutty cheerleaders

2) FoxSportsNet weekly Quakes pre-game/post-game show ala MSG's Metros

3) the double: eliminating LA from the playoffs on the last day of the season & eliminating LA from the US Open Cup next Wednesday

4) the treble: Supporter's Shield , US Open Cup, MLS Cup

5) Veronica Paysse bobblehead night, complete with authentic fake-leather pants

 

1. The Triple, SS, MLS Cup, Open Cup
2. Own Stadium, with a BART station
3. More fans at the matches
4. An exhibition match with AC Milan
5. The return of Jeff Biacher, of the Santa Clara Killers Beeeeeeeeeeeeeessss.

 

is it really her head you want to see bobble?

 

sometimes even the obvious needs to be said....especially on BS.....

 

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!)

 

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!

 

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.

 

Re: who said there was anything wrong with being selfish?

Fixed #1 and #5.

#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!

 

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.

 

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.

 

Hey, I used to have the power to clear a stadium in 5 words...

"WE'RE GOING TO THE SHOOTOUT!"

Feel free to boo and leave whatever room you're in, just for old times sake.

 

Please, no more crapshoots. That made the game a joke from the perspective of mostly everyone worldwide. It was better when the rules became more in line with how the game was played.

If FIFA mandated that in league games that ties be settled by way of a shootout in which the kick taker lines up 35 yards and has 5 seconds to shoot, then we will have to live with that.

Overtime isn't as good but at least if the game is still even, the result stands.

Now, I wouldn't mind having the name reverted back to the Clash but since it reminds me of Joe, Paul, the drummer whose name starts with a "T" but since his name refers to a fan from the other side he won't be mentioned here, and Mick better to have the name Scorpions, which has a better ring, and it's just as mean as "Raiders"!

Lucci as supersub, why not? He could be even more popular as Beck or that kid whose name also starts with an "L"...

Cheers!
