I would hardly call that dominance...but I guess for the Riders it would be given their history. I looked at the entry on his blog and he didn't say anything about dominance. Did you misread "decadence" as "dominance"? And Rod seems to have edited the entry because the years are included anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripper Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 18 hours ago, brett_c_b said: I'd be skeptical that the average fan cares too much about who the GM is. Every fan cares about winning/losing, the minority, such as the types who go on forums, care about other the behind the scenes stuff. If merch is down significantly, I'd be surprised if that many people didn't buy merch because of who the GM is. The average fan maybe, but we have a very large number that are not average fans. Our ticket revenues were up last year and season tickets are sold out and are again this year at 80%. Merch sales went up as soon as Jones was announced as GM. So if the riders struggle this year and merchandise sales are high, what will you say then. Just bought a new jersey yesterday myself for mrs ripper. Couldn't go wrong with number 6.

So did you buy a new jersey because Taman is gone, because there are new jerseys, or because she can't wear her Dressler jersey to games anymore I would expect most teams merch revenue to be up this year with the new jerseys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One look from that dog would strike fear to any intruder I would think LOL. A guy would sleep like a baby even in the most dangerous neighborhoods with that dog sleeping at the foot of the bed.

I rarely ever miss a game but didn't spend a dollar at the store last year. I know others that do the same. Big part of rider financials is the merchandise sales. Message was received loud and clear I think. Mrs. ripper wasn't Dressler fan, she is generally sporting her Wes Cates jersey. I've bought her others but she sticks with her favorite player even though he has retired. I know she likes Rob Bagg so I guess its two birds with one stone. I'm the one that needs one now because my Chick jersey is old news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully it happened when the stadium was empty... The Manitoba & Ontario govts rushed thru both stadiums trying to cut costs everywhere along with unrealistic construction schedules. Hopefully there's an inquiry into what happened at IGF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
