Bombers moving to the West next year

[Mike]

Man I really thought we were going to get compensated. Should've stayed in the East if we weren't getting money.

 

We will get money in the form of an increase in the generated gate revenue.

Put a great team on the field and you will get the great gate revenue no matter what division you are in.

BC sucks chants more often... rider bashing more often.. win win in my books...

we are a western team imo, always felt weird being in the east..

Agreed. The CFL can go **** itself. They keep moving the Bombers back & forth so pay us.

The historic natural rivalries are in the West. Not Ottawa or Hamilton. Especially Ottawa next year. I'm hoping to see another Winnipeg/Hamilton GC someday. But the Bombers better hurry. I'm not getting any younger.

One of the things I am finding out is that whether we are a West or East team, by fan perspective, depends on age. My dad for instance said he's happy to be back in the west as we've always been a west team. But by comparison, I told him in my opinion that we are an East team because for most of my adult life the Bombers have been in the east.

Once there's 9 teams there will be little variation in everyone's schedule.  The only thing the division counts for is playoffs and ensuring an East-West Grey Cup with the odd chance of a crossover team sneaking in.  It really doesn't matter IMO.

yeah it is a generational thing but let me ask you, should the Winnipeg Jets be playing in the Norteast Conference?? Geography is pretty clear, we're a western team in all sports. What I don't like is not being compensated by the CFL for jerking us around because Ottawa is a crappy football city & can't support a CFL team. Maybe with a newly refurbed stadium & the fact it cost tems of millions to rebuild Frank Clair Stadium people will take some pride in their team & actually get behind it this time..

Why should the CFL compensate the Bombers when the Bombers asked to move? From the FP:

"It was the club's decision for several reasons to go back to the West," said Bombers chief operating officer Jim Bell Thursday.

I don't think the team could move far enough West for me at this point. My PVR went South this evening...as in to CBC to watch the Jets game.
