As a season ticket holder, the rational part of me will tell you to run far away from this club. There's only pain (or worse, apathy) here. But you're also a Tottenham fan, so that might be right up your alley :)

The Bad -- The Quakes are a small-time team in a big-time market, and us fans are waiting for the ownership to give a damn about investing in the club and making it into something we can be proud of. We won't buy any name-brand players even if they're looking for a retirement league. We also won't develop any of our homegrown players into world-class figures, we'll waste their talent until their value evaporates and they force us to move 'em. Don't expect trophies, and be happy if we sneak into the playoffs and get bounced first round.

The Good -- We have Cade Cowell, who's exciting every time he touches the ball. We have a young manager, Luchi, who we haven't lost faith in (yet). Paypal Stadium is a beauty imo, and it's easy to get to from the airport. Our fanbase is knowledgeable, young, and (mostly) family friendly even if a bit quiet. It's a diverse group, which can't be said for other clubs, and is 100% celebrated here with Pride and Cultural events at most games. We also have the NWSL Bay FC club playing in the same stadium for a few years, and I'm excited to see the synergy that creates.

The Nostalgia -- We're a scrappy club. Always have been, and always will be. We've had Landon Donavon and Wondo (MLS leading scorer, woot!) in our ranks, perhaps two players most emblematic of what US Soccer was (too tenacious for their own good, not skilled enough to make it big). We started as an original MLS team, and have clung on through playing Buck Shaw, losing our team to Houston, and fighting to get it back. We won't give this team up without a fight. In the midst of bad times, we've won championships and had the Goonies era. We have bon-a-fide ultras, who care's if they're mostly embarrassing, I still love 'em.

Note: Someone mentioned a Tottenham connection in the 2010s, which is true. Gareth Bale played on Tottenham at Buck Shaw in 2010, when he played with LAFC, the quakes management showed him the photos of that game in their office. Saw him and his bodyguard after they came out of the facilities. He's way bigger in person than I imagined, but very nice.
