It didn't matter. The fans were never into this game right from the get go. I've heard louder fans at a tennis match. If that was too much noise, then the Lions are in real trouble. Even TSN remarked that usually a crowd of that size is much more noisier.
Now that I don't live in Quesnel do I need to change my handle??

Forget it you guys-fighting Stupid Fan Syndrome is a lost cause. There will always be someone doing the wave on offence, and doing a Lions cheer on offence. Always. Don't fight it. It's easier on the blood pressure that way.

It irritates me to no end when people are constantly trying to start a wave on offence or chanting "Let's Go Li-ons!" on offence. Do these people not understand the way football works? This is something that has always bothered me about Lions fans, and people wonder why I yell at them to shut up if I see them doing stuff like this around me.

The game as a whole tonight was just very hard to get into. Not much happened, our offence was sputtering on almost every single "drive" and there were so many stops and starts and delays. Just really hard to get any kind of sustained emotion in that building tonight.

Crazy P has been doing games for quite a while now. Tonight was far from his first time out there.

I thought our section in the end zone was loud as usual. Three young guys in dyed orange hair just behind me helped by chanting and razzing the Cats all game. One of them also caught the Tony Simmons TD ball. I called for it and Simmons looked right at me when he threw it but it was just out of my reach.

You heard noise? I didn't, and it sure didn't make any difference last night.

Good point.

I had a tough time following the game from the end of the 1st Q til towards the end of the third when the idiot in front of us with the straw hat with the price tag still on it left the stadium. He arrives late and leaves very early!!! That's the good news!!!

Nicely decked up in Lions gear this dork also had a bag of orange balloons that if they were condoms would lead to some major surprises as they were popping and making this middle aged dork jump. If it wasn't the straw thingies flapping in our eyesite it was him jumping up and exhorting the fans to stand up along with with his arm flying. He was there the last game before too but wasn't like that. I'm praying that he doesn't own season tickets there as I lost all track of the game with his stupidity.

Oh, he paid $3.50 for the straw hat - not sure about the balloons he kept blowing up and launching behind him from the first row in S.4. I used to love that section for games!!!!

Last night was less noisy on O than most nights.
