Hamilton always has slow starts. I think Edmonton will take them. I agree, It'll be a West sweep.

I've heard some Bomber fans say the same things as the Rider fans (check above posts on page 9). The same situation would have happened everywhere else including Winnipeg. If highways are closed, you can't get to the game. If water is too deep, it's to dangerous to go to the game. Simple as that. On another note, Toronto would have had like 5 000 people at a game if this happened .

It's true. That's why the attendance was low. They sold over 30K still. I agree about Rotten Roddy though. Can't stand him. Very feeble attendance for a home opener. Normally I wouldn't care but Riderfans went to great lengths to insult us about 25k. Fairweather fans I guess. Team just wins a Grey Cup and only 19k to greet them at the home opener. Sad. Have you even looked at the news? We had FLASH FLOODS. Highways were closed and places declared State of Emergencies. People should be worrying about their safety more than getting to a football game. Also, just like Ktp said, you can't exactly get to the game if your highway is closed. We still sold around 32 000 tickets. In fair weather, those people would have been there.

I would assume they would be inside.

Albert street just got flooded.

Go Riders!

BC is in huge trouble. Too many gaps, especially QB. With Lulay out and Glenn being incredibly unreliable, I think they are going to have a huge struggle this year. Wouldn't even be surprised if Winnipeg and Edmonton finished ahead of them.

Yup. Willy was the right choice. There should be no regrets there.

Agreed. IMO, the 2 broadcasters should be Cuthbert and Miller. Black can stick with Basketball.

So Cornish got the touchdown! I'm glad I avoided the strike, but it would have been freaking hilarious if Cornish ended up not getting it .

It's a non-issue unless you get Toronto Argonaut attendances which I don't think will happen.

Less than 30,000 fans showed up for both of Saskatchewan's preseason games combined. After a Grey Cup year. Worst fans in the league. For 2 meaningless games. There will be well over 30K for the Rider opener. Sell out, though? Nah... doubt it. Yeah, they're not even close to a sell out at this point.

Mike deleted both of our posts, because it was turning into a flame war. Fair enough. I apologize if I sounded like the Riders were superior over Winnipeg. That wasn't my intention. In fact, until Atomic brought them up, I wasn't even going to mention the Riders. Everything's all good, OK? I meant no harm.

Make sure she never becomes a fan of the Edmonton Oilers, because she would never stay .

Not even at 25K yet? That's just brutal. Not Toronto brutal, but still pretty bad.

Ray was first? That's weird. I would have put Cornish ahead, possibly Durant as well.

Looking forward to tonight! See you on the chat!

Not sure but prolly sometime between Mike Kelly and Joe Mack ... she was very quiet about it cause I never knew. I feel so betrayed Sounds like a bandwagon jumper to me ! Guess she's not one of those fans who sticks through rough stretches.

So setting fire to a public place is OK? Smh.

When did she become a Rider fan?

I think Edmonton will surprise some people. I'd say just Montreal and Ottawa.
