So lemme get this straight... because Clermont isn't signing with the Riders NEXT year (through no fault of the team), the whole team is in the tank for the rest of THIS year?#1 Lions Fan in SK wrote:That's funny!

That's quite the switch from two weeks ago! :lol:
those were casual fans at best in the first place. They were on the bandwagon while we won, and bailed after a loss. we aren't upset to lose those people if they wanna bail.#1 Lions Fan in SK wrote:That's funny!

If fans across the country took that attitude all teams would suffer. No doubt BC has season ticket holders who are not Lion fans, but fans of every other team in the league...including some esteemed Lionbacker regulars. Similarly there will be Eskimo fans who put money into the Rider coffers via Rider season tickets. Look at it this way. If you had Eskimo season tickets you could boo the Green & Gold 10 times per season instead of the 1 or 2 times the Riders come to Commonwealth!wildthing wrote: I refuse to buy season tickets in Edmonton as that is full support to the Esks, but I will buy to watch the Riders even though the esks get the money, my measly couple hundred bucks for 2 games isn't going to make or break them.
This is clearly wrong.wildthing wrote: those were casual fans at best in the first place. They were on the bandwagon while we won, and bailed after a loss. we aren't upset to lose those people if they wanna bail.
Sorry, I guess I wasn't specific enough. I've had a blast due to the results of last weekend's games and pointing out who's on top now. Even the radio station that insulted me before the games last week is now saying they have given up on the Riders and they are now doing what they do every year. (Unfortunately for us Lions fans, I think they are wrong. I think the Riders are still a team to be contended with.)Soundy wrote:So lemme get this straight... because Clermont isn't signing with the Riders NEXT year (through no fault of the team), the whole team is in the tank for the rest of THIS year?#1 Lions Fan in SK wrote:That's funny!
