how do you mean.MacNews wrote:It would cost a lot money, for one.
at least I am not a bandwagon fairweather fan than only goes when things are good for the lions. If I was into attending sport events, I would be die hard no matter if the team had 10 losing season in a row.bc49 wrote:Cracks me up that a guy who never goes to games is tossing out advice on how to get others out to games!
That sends shivers up my spine just thinking of it. As for the jersey, it would be Wynn taking the hit not Dickenson, remember, "13thman".picture this... WDF final... Loooooo raising the "13th Man" flag at the dome.... how cool would that be?! You know he'd get a big reception
As for the #12 jerseys... I prefer mine to say Dickenson... but "Fan" is pretty cool too.

I have legit reasons for not going very often including , but not only, finances and slight case of something akin to crowd phobia or whatever one would call it. If you and other can't accept that, if you want look down on me because of it, then you know what you can do.
As for my "tossing out advice". One thing has nothing to do with the other. I have quite a bit of respect for those that do go. In fact I have long been intending to post the following on 13thman someday, when ever I decide to post there again, if permitted.
As one who is unable to go to many games and has never been to a cup game, I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation to all those dedicated season tick holders and cup game attendees. You guys are the ones who keep this league going for the rest of us who for one reason or another are unable to do so. As we sit in our comfy living rooms (or bars, or whatever) enjoying the game on the tube, we have you to thank, and I do so thank each and every one of you very much for over 38 yrs of CFL enjoyment, and counting. Cheers and Beer to all.

Ya see, I do care about attendance and if I can ever do anything to help increase it, I will. In the meantime, you wanna cast negative judgement on me for not being "one of you", I guess nothing I say will change that and I will just have to live with it.
Actually I was referring to the #12 jerseys they sell in Seattle. Whenever I go down there to watch a game I am blown away by the amount of people who wear them to the games. Someone in their marketing dept. really came up with a winner.OrangeShoes99 wrote:That sends shivers up my spine just thinking of it.

I sent this suggestion to Bobby Ackles but never got a response. :(
heh heh, let us not forget that a few of my reason for not going are reasons you really don't like, but hey, peace, understanding and acceptance always works better for me.3rd Down wrote: ...nice FYB/KIA ...I remember having an argument with you in the past about this ...
