Re: Favourite BC Lions Stadium
What? Thunderbird Stadium was a one-game home! Why was that not on the list?

Re: Football Operations: GM, Head Coach, Coaching Staff?
Dave Johnson (the coach before Jacques) blew a lot of scholarship money on American students who were one and dones. When Chapdelaine took over, they only had 19 full rides left. The alumni stepped back about a year after Kelly was hired. It's an under resourced program and would not be competitive ...

Re: Football Operations: Ed Hervey - GM, Wally Buono - HC
The one clear message I get from this media exhibition is that Wally views himself as many things. Being Hervey's mentor and conduit to Braley now would seem to be of prime importance. If Wally needs to build trust between Hervey and Braley over a medium or long term in the same fashion that Ackles ...

Re: 10th team in Halifax - Braleys ulterior motives
The thing you guys aren't getting on this is that it's a real estate play. It's not about public money going directly into building a stadium. Shannon Park is an old military housing complex and barracks in Dartmouth close to transportation links. A whole community could be rebuilt there, and the de...

Re: Lions ownership discussion thread
David Braley must have some environmentalist in him. By holding onto the BCLions for another year, he's returning the team to the state he found it.

Re: The Athletic - Vancouver and The Lions
The reason the Argos were finally covered in the Athletic Toronto is that the Argos struck a deal with them on bulk memberships for Argo season ticket holders.

Re: The decline of Vancouver sports media & its effect on Lions
Thanks for the support guys.
When Moj did the UBC homecoming game on radio last year, I gave him my p x p "kit". With the CFL he'll be more familiar with the personnel and may even be Canada's version of J.T. The Brick.
Good luck to him!

Re: Lions ownership discussion thread
Early candidate for post of the year. :thup: The move into renovated BC Place really hid the problems that the Lions had marketing/business wise ever since bob died. The crowds were small at tempire. Lifting all the blackouts really started to impact numbers. As people outside Vancouver/Burnaby sto...

Re: Lions ownership discussion thread
It's not speaking to the converted. It's trying to get a storyline started with those on the outside by promoting personalities. You guys are already in the door! Braley is in no hurry to sell and my guess is he will wait until at least the end of the 2017 campaign in hopes of a BC Lions Grey Cup. G...

Much less.
It's a shame because this is an entertaining team with a good ad campaign out there.

Re: Lions ownership discussion thread
Given the season ticket number I was told, this operation is far closer being worth $2-million than $20-million. Braley has struggled with this operation since Bob passed away. Whichever group makes an ego and passion play on buying this better have deep pockets because it will take millions and yea...
