I think you missed my point. My point was that we found out what - TODAY? that practice was going to be closed. I guess if I was going to be coming out I should have researched that women's soccer was on so that's on me, but still, the Bombers could have been more proactive here.

That automatically makes it a non-issue, doesn't it? It would definitely be handled internally.

Kirk Penton @PentonKirk #Bombers have signed former #Bisons QB Jordan Yantz. #CFL

If I had made travel plans based on coming to a few days of TC (and I've done it before) I'd be pretty cheesed. I think this just shows that the Bombers aren't very connected with their fanbase. BC can get away with holding training camp in Kamloops because no one in Vancouver cares. Winnipeg is different. People care. The fans are passionate. The Bombers seem to just not get that. Even the media doesn't get it.

You know somewhere in heaven, this guy is smiling right now. EDIT to add - hopefully he's high-fiving Coach Harris during this news conference.

I've been with Rogers for many years, but only because the only other option at the time was Telus, and I tried them and their network and service sucked even harder than Rogers, if that's possible. I should look at switching again. Anyone who poops on the CFL poops on me. And I don't like being pooped on.

I get that. If you can jam the barn full of people wanting to watch women's soccer, and that helps pay off the debt, great. But PLAN for the fact that fans want to attend your training camp. It's really not that difficult to for see and plan for things like these, and yet the Bombers keep stepping on their dicks at every turn. I don't get it.

It's not as if the Bombers knew about this soccer tournament in advance, so how could they have been proactive and planned for it until now?

and this year I was even going to be thankful and tell the fans reporting from TC how important their reports were. Darn it all.

Soccer and cricket will always be the same for me. Millions love both sports, yet all I see when I watch them is paint drying.

You may not like the sport but it is still very popular AND our canadian women's team is unreal. If this world class event pushes our bombers out of the stadium for a week, oh well. It's not like this isn't the biggest soccer event in the world or anything.. At least now we have a reason for why we didn't win the 2015 Grey Cup...women's soccer. Our new enemy.

I hate it when I'm told not to be so close-minded, it makes my head hurt.

That says something. Poblah was on Toronto's Neg list prior to him being eligible Ok then it actually says nothing. My bad.

That says something. The supplemental draft is tomorrow? That's not nearly enough time to build up disproportionate amounts of hype. Roll this thing back a week. And camp. And the season. It's going to be worth it. Apparently thanks to Dom Picard, Nic Moore, and the stadium debacle, Kyle is well over the cap and over budget so what's the point of drafting anybody? And then, if we do draft them, no one is going to be able to watch the guy practice at training camp. And look out if he only signs a two year deal, the world will go into full apocalypse mode.

That says something.

Bluto - can't wait for the update. Would really like to see the Argos at BMO field. I would assume the soccer snobs probably aren't wild about sharing the facility with the lowly gridiron team, and they are total class acts, those fans, especially the way they treat female reporters.

Maybe they should do like the Lions with their Kamloops training camp, and move the entire kit and caboodle to Brandon.

Wpg Blue Bombers ✔ @Wpg_BlueBombers @MorningBigBlue we'll give details on access for fans that plan on attending in the coming days, stay tuned!

Live stream sounds great to me! Just make sure that it's Pied Piper doing the live stream and not those bums at Hooli...

I am a fan of baseball but in the past few years I find I can only stomach a few innings and then I can't take it anymore. Just not enough action.

At camp in 2013 I woulda ranked him 2nd behind only Buck... Buck, Yantz, Hall, Goltz, Chase something (I forget the guy's name) ... then again, there wasn't much to be excited about that year... Chase Clement.

yes it would be hard to top Kito Poblah all right. His career so far has been Etienne-esque... Count me in on the band waggoner...

Boy do I wish this wasn't a typo...
