Never ceases to amaze me what fans here get offended by. Bombers do the same thing by including a playoff ticket in the season ticket package. It’s good business to get fans to invest, and then offer a discount off of a season ticket package if the game doesn’t come to pass. 

Offended? Or laughing at? 

****, this **** from you is exhausting.

I don't think for a second the Riders are doing anything wrong here. Sell the tickets you can and hope, with the odds in your favour, that it works out. Pandemic has hurt all teams. 

Back office taking care of finances, while the team takes care of the rest. 

Shoot your shot.

Regardless of how we feel about the Riders, they have built a great fan network and marketing. There are several CFL teams that could learn from them.

[Noeller]

I don't trust anyone who doesn't outright abhor the Riders franchise and especially their fan base.....

Edmonton got jobbed.

And now they get to play 2 more games this week that mean nothing and have to travel from Vancouver to Toronto to do it.

I always wonder if that line was meant to be ironic or just another example of Lucas's poor writing.

Edmonton got jobbed in the game, but they jobbed themselves schedule wise.  They're lucky to even get to play the game against Toronto (though at this point it doesn't really matter because they're out of the playoffs).

Still sucks. Particularly for the guys on the team that did what they could to avoid it.

But, yes, the team as a whole made their bed.

 

3 games in 7 days and traveling across country is unheard of. 

They are going to be in a lot of pain.

Most of them won't be back next season.

It is like taking the worst posts on RF and making an article out of them.

[17to85]

Jesus is still no match for Mike O'Shea.

Qft

If Cody is Jesus sprinkles then the Bombers are a legionaire with a spear.

One more game this year for cf against our defence might make an atheist out of him. 

I hate how 3dn panders to the riders. Even when they suck. It's sickening. 

[Stickem]

The 'sprinkles' must have been in the form of a pain killing 'shot' the way the Dukes' leg was bent backwards...I'd be very surprised if he's a 100 percent the rest of the year....He may need a lot of 'sprinkles'

Lucky for them that Williams can't get any slower than he already looked. "go be tall and hope they don't cover you" seems to be the only plays he has anyway.

No, you pay for the ticket and carry that playoff ticket over until you use it. 

No one sells tickets beforehand because you have to deal with the logistics of returning all the money. 

Riders are confident and are taking a chance. 

I mean, end of the day its just so the club can retain ~$100 of your money early. Lots of clubs do it now as a means to better manage cash flow

[GCn20]

Hey if Rider fans are dumb enough to pay for pixie dust, jesus sprinkles, and magic beans then all the power to the Rider club for getting them to do it.

Pretty much. They are stoking Duke up pretty good but Edmonton's secondary is pretty poor.

If they shoot him up with ac Leonard juice he could possibly kick it up into Jamie Stoddard gear. Other wise he's gonna have to be happy with wade Miller time.
