Approximately 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean from Ipswich lies a place called the United States of America. Some of you might be aware of it. It’s not somewhere you typically associate with ‘ultra culture’ or even the beautiful game itself. However, there have been signs that things are changing in that respect. James Montague’s…

There aren’t many of them, but finding an ultras group willing to do an interview for this feature on North America seemed essential to us. We’d had high hopes for Montreal, but after being led up the garden path, we finally ended up much further south, in San José. Thanks to Dan from the San…

29th out of 29. Beating all kinds of negative records. Worst season in the history of this club. We still travelled to LA. We never stopped singing and representing, despite yet another pathetic loss, because we still care deeply for this club, for the badge and the colors. It’s time to clean house! Those who…

We have sought resolution to an outstanding issue regarding relations between our group and the FO. Our patience has now run out. We believe the furtive handling of this situation demonstrates a lack of good faith and possible ulterior motives. This is unacceptable and we have decided to meet your silence with silence to urge…

Norma Quesada has been a member of our group since 2008. Attending most home games, as well as many away games, she poured her huge heart into supporting the Quakes and helping our group. Humble, maybe too humble, she never liked the attention, even a “Thank You” for the enormous amount of invaluable work she…

Construction will be ongoing for the remainder of the 2022 season and is expected to be finished on Nov. 1. “Our fans, and in particular our supporters groups,…

19 years have passed by. Hundreds of players and hundreds of members came around and went away. Plenty of good and plenty of bad. Satisfactions and disappointments. Tons of memories. Above it all, still thinking independently, still fully dedicated to the cause we believe in, and always loyal to our principles. Still choosing quality over…

Nine years ago, following some incidents at Buck Shaw, the head of the Quakes security at that time wanted to ban the Galaxy fans from future games in NorCal. We strongly opposed that decision and eventually reversed it. It’s detrimental to any rivalry game to be played with only one set of supporters present. The…
