Casbah Section Moved!!! (Oakland Coliseum)

May 30th 2008

See below message from Anthony Perry of the Earthquakes about our section moving to the other side of the stadium near the entrance tunnel.   Please get your tickets traded soon to avoid any issues on game day. 

Quakes fan,

By popular request we are moving the Casbah and Ultras seating sections in Oakland.  The new seats will be in Sections 113 and 114.  These sections are closer to field level, provide shade, have better television coverage, and will be next to the players tunnel.  I have already received half of the seats, yet I need the remainder to ensure that you will be sitting in the official Casbah or Ultras section and not with any visiting Galaxy fans.

Please send your remaining 3 Oakland tickets (2 Galaxy Game and the Yellow Bonus Game Ticket) ASAP to:

San Jose Earthquakes

Return of the Quakes!!! (Quakes 2 - Dynamo 1)

May 23rd 2008

Last night the Quakes returned….both those that formally wore the Quakes uniform and the passionate play our those now wearing the uniform.  The Boys in Blue (um…Black) played with heart and tenacity.  Last night our new boys looked to me more like “The Earthquakes” of old than those Quakes in disguise.  Congrads guys, you made us all proud! 

After reading some of the interview responses from Dom and some of our former players, it seems some of them were taken back by cheers from the fans.  I’d like to just say to our former Quakes players (and Dom) we all respect your blood, sweat, and tears that you’ve given for us.  You’ve set the bar for what we had come to expect of those wearing the Quakes jersey.  You will never be forgotten (at least to me, despite sloans or chants from some).  However I think we can all agree that it’s time to move forward.  Ultimately the name on the front is more important than the names on the back.

Scarves Pick Up

May 9th 2008

All,

 If you’ve already signed up and have not yet received your scarf, please come to the front of the Casbah section before the game this Saturday (or at any home game).  If you are unable to pick up your scarf at the game and need it mailed to you please send me an e-mail so that I can get it to you ASAP, casbahmel@gmail.com.   By the way we also have Casbah t-shirt available for purchase if you’d like to get one.  They are selling for $20.

 See you there,

Casbah (Season Ticket) Seat Relocation @ Coliseum

May 6th 2008

All,

The front office has made arrangements to get us closer to the action and into an area where the players can really hear us rock.  See, the message below from Anthony Perry of the Earthquakes.  We will be moving to the other side of the stadium next to the tunnel and away from that blazing sun.  This will be our new location for the remaining games at the Coliseum.  Anthony will be sending the Galaxy fans into our old section so that will be away from the tunnel and without opportunities to throw stuff at our players as they exit the tunnel.  With this move the first thing our Boys in Blue will hear coming onto the field is the Casbah Rockin’ at full volume. 

To make the transition you will need to turn in your 3 remaining season tickets and Anthony will send you 3 new tickets for the new section. 

-Mel

Dear Casbah member,

The Earthquakes are happy to announce an exciting detail relating to season ticket holders sitting in the Casbah seating this year.  I was able to move the section from above the goal to the opposite side of the field (near where the Chicago fans were).  This will have better visibility for the group, be cooler during the summer, closer to the field, and near the players tunnel.  I need all season ticket holders to send me their 3 remaining game tickets (2 Galaxy and bonus game) ASAP so I can move the Galaxy fans into that section.

Please send your tickets to:

Buckshaw “Home Openner” Info, Sat 5/3

May 1st 2008

Hey All,

 Here’s the info for the game this Saturday against Dallas FC.  If you will be at the stadium at 5PM and you’d like to assist with setting up the Casbah banner, etc. please let me know. questions@thecasbah.org 

Here is our plan for orgainzing the cheers during the game. For the combined songs I’ve written them for the cases where we are leading.  However we may switch at halftime to the 1906-Ultras being the lead, in which case you would swap (Casbah) lines for (1906-Ultras) lines.  If you have any suggestions let us know.

Song List

Game Start: On the first whistle streams go flying….then we go into a coordinated cheer with the 1906-Ultras. 

Casbah: We’re the Casbah, we’re the Casbah, we’re the Casbah San Jose (drum, drum)

1906-Ultras: We’re the Ultras, we’re the Ultras, we’re the Ultra San Jose

Then a combined Ohhhh…San Jose. (See below)

Corner kicks: C’mon you Quakes….C’mon you Quakes….(ad nauseum)

At 15 mins, 30 mins, 60 mins, 75 mins: combined Ohhhh….San Jose

 At end of each half: Combined We love you Earthquakes (See below)

 Combined Ohhhh…San Jose

(Casbah)              Ohhhh San Jose (drum, drum, pause)

(1906-Ultras)     Ohhhh San Jose (pause)

(Casbah)              Ohhhh San Jose (drum, drum, pause)

(All)                      Oh, oh, Oh, oh, Oh, hey hey hey

(All)                      (Repeat….)

Combined We Love you Earthquakes

(Casbah)              We love you Earthquakes (pause)

(1906-Ultras)     We do!

(Casbah)              We love you Earthquakes (pause)

(1906-Ultras)       We do!

(Casbah)              We love you Earthquakes (pause)

(1906-Ultras)       We do!

(All)                      Ohhh Earthquakes we love you!….

(All)                      (Repeat…..)

We’re the Casbah….

We’re the Casbah, we’re the Casbah, we’re the Casbah San Jose!
