Riders home Playoff game sells out in 35 minutes...

[Dan_Payne_fan!!]

in that package, they said they were getting new signage and everything, does this mean that the will put the power ring/scoreboard thing around the whole seperator between the upper and lower decks?

Meh - harvest is done - that's the sound of getting the tractors ready for sporing seeding and the graders ready for winter - lol

Did you know that most people don't know that wheat is not fit for humans? It's bird food. Our natural diet is fruit, vegetables and meat. Wheat is the cause of celiacs disease, bowel problems, crohns, bloating, excess weight gain so many other things that aren't at the top of my head right now. Just thinking of gluten I feel like farting.

So, when I say you fans are full of it.. I really mean it! That province needs a new shtick.. I mean the fine erb does none of these harmfull things and can be grown year round.

Saskatchewan is for the birds.

But what about beer? hmm

oh, yessssss - don't forget - while you guys make fun of us stubble jumping prairie folk, just remember that when we grow crops: From wheat comes bread, from rye comes whiskey and from barley comes beer.


You're welcome.

Just wondering if the stadium emptied in less than 35 minutes after the game? 8)

Nope, less time than that - the fire drill started in the 4th.

Wow, impressive I have a feeling many fans were shocked how the game went? I think as a Lion fan I expected total domination and the crowd noise to affect the Riders last year and it didn't. It seems at times a road playoff game can actually bring a team together and provide motivation IF the visiting team can take the crowd out early.

Vern thanks for being a good "visitor" on this site and I know what it is like to deal with a loss so I applaud your restraint on here. You are one Rider fan that makes it hard for me to completely hate the Riders..........you are both a scholar and gentleman :lol:

You sometimes hear Don Cherry speak of the "road ice advantage" (my phrase, not his). When a team is on the road, they don't just practice together. They eat their meals together, they're staying at the same hotel, spending their leisure time together, etc; it becomes a bonding/teambuilding exercise, whereas with the home team, they ususally just go home to their family life at the end of the day and the symbiotic effect, for lack of a better phrase, is lost. I know I have heard media accounts in recent years of home teams trying to simulate this aspect of road conditions by putting their players up in a local hotel on the eve of an important home game.

Maybe this is what Wally had in mind when he made those comments about perceived home field advantage.
