Haven't been able to work all week due to air quality and personally I'm not expecting conditions to change by Sunday.

I'm anticipating more a long the lines of next Wednesday and I'm more hopeful than anything.

Yes I think that timeline makes sense given what we know.

San Diego has come out to offer hosting our game :lol:

I'm imagining Qualcomm with the field in our colors. That would be the only difference stadium-wise between playing there before this year and now. God knows we will be just as dominant in attendance.

Im in the South Bay but the air quality was terrible yesterday. Even the skies over here were all dusty, can't imagine how the affected area is.

On then bright side, it has cleared up today & I think the game will prolly be played in Oakland. They'd probably cancel the game before moving it right? Too many logistical changes.

Berkeley is in bad shape. Trying to stay indoors as much as I can.

NFL looking at contingencies if air quality in Oakland from fires remains at unacceptable levels, per league official. A decision soon.

northoaklandfc · Oct 12, 2017

I think yesterday was the worst air quality ever recorded in Oakland. Been waking up to ash on the whip every morning.

On another note, I'm involved in the soccer scene in Northern California and was scheduled play in Santa Rosa this Sunday. I had reached out to the opposing team earlier in the week and was heart broken when I heard that half the kids and the opposing coach lost everything including their homes in the fire.

The governing body here Northern California is spearheading a fundraising effort. If you feel like doing so here's a link where you can make an anonymous donation.

I know there can be an assumption that youth soccer is for the affluent but that's really not the case in California. Same with assumptions about the Sonoma county and the region in general. Large immigrant population and a lot of working class communities up there.

Regardless, I imagine people from every background can use a hand right now.

ThePeoplesChamp_ · Oct 13, 2017

not sure how that works was curious about it myself.

looks like there's no plans to move the game

Johnny_Cakes · Oct 13, 2017

Game will stay in Oakland. I'll be wearing a N95 mask.

JDR: Strong likelihood Obi Melifonwu returns off IR. Eligible to start practicing next week. ...Expect him to do exactly that.

Not in time to help us against Kelce, but in time to help us against Gronk.

We should make a play for Bowman.

willie mcfly22 · Oct 13, 2017

^i think so too. Bring him in cheap and see how he performs...even just for the knowledge would help

HNL HI · Oct 13, 2017

wonder what out waiver position is, got to think teams are going to put in claims.

MajinZuub · Oct 13, 2017

Bowman is a significant upgrade regardless if he's lost a step. Do it Reggie.

I think that's only for young players

Johnny_Cakes · Oct 13, 2017

I imagine we're going to be in competition with too many teams driving up the price on him. But maybe he'll favor staying in the Bay Area now that we're in the middle of the season.

Mi Grullense: https://yelp.to/qTKq/JxitI1EK8G

I'm at work or I'd hit you with more. But let me know what you're looking for and maybe I can give you some ideas.

Edit: just seen you were staying in Hayward. Check this place out for breakfast: https://yelp.to/qTKq/nl73oGiL8G

good lookin out on the breakfast joint, freakin french toast was on point!

northoaklandfc · Oct 14, 2017

They saying the same thing can happen in reverse day-to-day though.

im tryin my best to squeeze it in the sched, right now we try a find a bar/lounge that play good music (hip-hop) would be the preferred choice

raider5 · Oct 14, 2017

Man, I may not be the best at making recommendations. Having a kid changed the game for me :lol:

But I'm guessing you'll be in the city? Hitting up the mission is usually koo. Check out a spot called Brunos for hip hop to start the night and see where the night takes you :pimp:
