Are there a lot of fair weather football fans in Vancouver? Absolutely and it's been that way for much of the Lions existence. That's what my post was based on. Fair enough! That's a pretty shrewd analysis. If you can and have bought a ticket, criticize away! You've earned it. But I reserve the rig...

And do the results of the alleged assault have anything to do with this? Or was that just an excuse? The Bombers are saying the timing is 'just a coincidence', and that Kelly was getting the chop anyhow. (But then they could hardly say anything else!) Yeah, that's a bad day all right. It's not quit...

I like to analyze the team's performance and engage in debate and criticism but I don't base my renewal decisions on the team's record or prospects for the coming season or its management and coaching decisions. I love football and wouldn't miss a game if I could help it. I supported the Lions for ...

There just seems to be plenty of reasons to take a "wait and see" approach to 2010. And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why real CFL fans look down their noses at Vancouverites. "We're not winning! Screw this, I'm outta here!" If all fans were like this, Hamilton would have folde...

I was one of the people involved in that recent discussion; I pointed out that on first glance it appeared I would have to pay gold prices for what used to be bronze seats but I got the mailing and it looks like I'll have the same location and price as last year, or very close thereto. Good to hear...

You didn't get that choice though. You were still forced to pick a time for saturday afternoon. It's clear now we're going to get an afternoon game. I don't mind one (why we need that I don't know) as long as the rest are ALL saturday nights. Surely there are a lot of fans who will prefer an aftern...

Oh I had no idea that was the case. I haven't received that info yet so I'm slightly less miffed in that case. Really? The Lions are certainly taking their time in getting out these renewal packages. That can't be good. I got an e-mail explaining the plan three weeks ago, so I heard from them as so...

Is there anywhere to ask why my silver season seats at the 20 yard line are supposedly BEHIND the goal line now? (sigh) If you renew by December 15, they'll give you "gold" seats close to the 20 at the same price you paid for silver last year. Are there ST holders who still haven't gotten...

... a lady wearing all camouflage, except for the 12-pack box of Pilsner she was wearing for a hat—limiting possible locations to either Canada or North Dakota. ...the Montreal Alouettes, a ferocious mascot if there ever was one. Heck, those lines gave me a chuckle. And the word 'shenanigans' is no...

Check out the right tackle on the play http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lHtSaAHiAM I've seen an on-line discussion about this. Apparently on some college teams the O-line is instructed not to move if the D-line jumps offside. If you look at the right guard, he does the same thing for a time - just l...

When contemplating the current state of the BC Lions Football Club I am reminded of the ancient Chinese wisdom of the character of the hexagram Ku which provides a purrfect allegory of the present situation the Lions organization finds themselves in. Huh. Well, that's gotta be one of the more uniqu...

That sounds more than fair, and shows a willingness on the part of the Lions to negotiate with anyone who is unhappy with his/her seating allocation. I'll pass on the free upgrade. Someone else can have it. Good for you, BC FAN. But at the risk of stating the obvious, you do realize the "new&q...

I haven't gotten anything in the mail from them yet, so I've been trying my best not to jump to conclusions but that website info isn't helping. Yeah, there's the problem. The Lions are offering season ticket renewals a much better deal than you see on that website. They should be offering you a se...

Answering my own question - the Sun, October 23 - "Braley said the temporary stadium would have 32,000 seats — 25,000 along the sidelines and an additional 7,000 in the end zones — close to Empire’s original seating capacity." The seating plan and sketch don't look that big, but I've been ...

...But I said let's look at this from the outside. You weren't a season ticket holder this past season. You are thinking about becoming one for the upcoming season. The ticket prices for a new season ticket holder are increased over this year by at least $25... LFITQ, that is a good point. I've sai...
