Annual meeting and viewing party May 17
A message from Club Quake President, Michelle Selincourt...
Dear Club Quake Members
WE ARE BACK - Yes the San Jose Earthquakes are back in force and so
are we, the fans.
Club Quake is holding its Annual Meeting combined with a viewing
Party on Saturday May 17th at the Britannia Arms Almaden.
The meeting will run from 2:00-4:00pm and the viewing party from
4.30pm. Club Quake will be offering our members free hot dogs,
burgers, etc., during the meeting. If you are not a Club Quake member
yet, don't worry - you can join at any of the games or on the day of
the meeting.
The viewing party will be the San Jose Earthquakes v New England
Revolution, which is only being televised on HDNet (not viewable on
Comcast cable). So join your fellow fans and cheer on our team in
HD!
Also, please note that we will be organizing buses from San Jose to
Oakland for both of the LA Galaxy home games, on June 14th and August
3rd. More details will be announced as the date draws near.
If you are interested in joining the Club Quake board please
contact me at michelle.selincourt@clubquake.org - we look forward to welcoming
new members to the board to continue to help support the team.
I look forward to hearing from you and seeing you at the games and
the meeting.
Go Quakes!

Quakes Fans Descend Upon LA for Opener
Earthquakes fans made the trip down to LA for the season opener on
Thursday, April 3, filling up the corner section 117 of the Home Depot
Center and cheering themselves hoarse for the new Earthquakes team in
the first California Derby of 2008. Although disappointed with the
result, it was great to see our team in action at last.
Prior to the game there was a tailgate party (no BBQ but plenty of
beverages and chips) in the parking lot as the Casbah and Ultras got
to know one another and prepare for the game. When we got to our
seats none other than team owner Lew Wolff made a brief appearance to
greet the fans!
If you've never made a trip to an Earthquakes away game, consider
it. Talk to Club Quake if you are planning on it, and maybe we can
put you in touch with other San José fans at the game, even if
it's not an official Club Quake outing.
Bus to Oakland; Fans Anticipate Home Opener
The first home game of 2008 for the Earthquakes will be held at the
McAfee Coliseum in Oakland against the Chicago Fire, on
Saturday, April 12 at 1:30 pm. Club Quake and the Britannia
Arms have organized a bus and BBQ for this game. For just $25, fans
can ride from the Almaden Brit to the game and back, and it
includes a BBQ dinner at the Brit afterward! The bus leaves the
Almaden Brit at 12 noon, and after the game returns to the Brit for
dinner. Note: parking at the Coliseum for one car is $15!
If you can't take the bus, drive or take BART and meet us there.
We will have similar buses to the two Oakland games against the LA
Galaxy on June 14 and August 3.

City Council Unanimously Approves Further Stadium Talks

unanimously approved plans to continue exclusive negotiation with Lew
Wolff's ownership group about building a stadium near Mineta San
José Airport, funded by a rezoning of some land in Edenvale.
