Questions about the opener
We mentioned on Tuesday that Ives Galarcep of the New Jersey Herald News was reporting that the Quakes' home opener would be March 29 against les Vaches Rouges from New York.
Well, as friend of the blog Guy Gayle pointed out yesterday, Ives is changing his tune, at least temporarily:
A source within Major League Soccer has informed me that there is a very real chance the schedule could be changed and the Red Bulls-Earthquakes season opener slated for March 29th at Buck Shaw Stadium in Santa Clara could be moved to a later date, thus no longer making it the season opener (or official return of the Earthquakes).The game was signed off on by MLS, which informed the teams that it was set to be the opener, but some logistical challenges have arisen and the game is up in the air now, at least for the March 29th date.
Stay tuned...
The Metro's Gary Singh makes brief mention of his soccer journalist persona in his column this week, while simultaneously taking a swing at media soccer bashers and one-time Quakes owners AEG. Good on ya, Gary!

If the date does get changed, then what will be the new home opener be--I'd think April 12 or 19 if that happens.
