    Tommy Thompson should sign up for this to supplement his Quakes salary

    https://thetownfc.com/the-town-versus-tour-ignites-the-spirit-of-futbol-in-the-east-bay/

    Interested athletes can sign up to compete here. There is a registration fee of $25, which includes two tickets to that day’s MLS NEXT Pro match. Registration for The Town Versus is now open for the home opener on Friday, May 3rd, at Saint Mary’s Stadium vs. Houston Dynamo II at 5 p.m. The 1v1 competition will begin at 3pm to finalize the two top performers who will play at halftime.​

    Honestly the whole “Town FC” experience at PPP was a little surreal. I’ve been to Quakes II games at PPP and there’d be about 200 people in the stands and like 3 people forming a “supporter’s group” with a drum in front of LOBINA. It had the feel of yeah 2nd team no one cares.

    And then I don’t know how long it will last but suddenly 5k in the stands, merchandise, even a guy running up and down the stands telling people there will be PKs. Even the guy at the gate, when I left before PKs, told me “hey there are going to be PKs!” Later I realized that he was probably stationed there with instructions to tell anyone leaving before PKs that there’d be PKs. I think 1st impressions and all that they really didn’t want people to leave without seeing the ball in the net, and concluding that nothing ever happens in soccer.

    Bottom line is that this team that nobody cared about suddenly had all these people caring about it. Weird, but a good thing.

    Wow so there really were 5k people in the stands like they said there would be... impressive!

    When you go from

    We have already heard (a year or two ago) that Oakland Roots merchandise outsells Earthquakes merchandise... what happens if Bay FC and even The Town FC merch (hah!) starts outselling Quakes gear? Will they finally rebrand and get rid of the horrific Kaval crest?

    They have a second scarf, as well, “inaugural season 2024”, which I purchased for the museum.

    I think it was around 5k? The Audi parking lot was full. Most of the north / west stands were full. The 102 / 103 sections were more full than Quakes games. It was thinner on the other side by the ultras section, for some reason.

    I've watched two of the Town games this season on tv, and they rank among the sleepiest matches I've ever seen. Hopefully this is ok for our guys' development.
