San Jose noted for great fan support
The oft-repeated claim that San Jose's fan support was lacking has been shown to be false thanks to the release of confidential MLS attendance figures last fall, so it's old news that attendance wasn't the reason that AEG moved the Quakes. It's something everyone should know by now.
Still, there's a difference between no longer being held as scapegoats and being praised, so it gives us a warm fuzzy feeling to read this interview with San Jose native and former Quake Kelly Gray on USSoccerPlayers.com, where author Sahar Milani asks the following:
You've played with three teams that have huge fan support -- the Fire, Earthquakes and now Houston. How does that affect you as a player when you are out on the field?
"Huge fan support" for the Earthquakes. That sounds about right. It's a bit late, but at last the press is noticing.
