We did not get the same weather as Regina. We had it very very easy compared to those out west. 20,000 fans braving that weather is commendable. If we had the same weather for our game there would be less than 20,000 there I promise you that.
Anywhere would have under 20K with this kind of weather.

Holy crap Jpan. You're 16th overall. Nice

Anyone actually spend all their money?
I did... how could you not??? I had a hell of a time getting under the cap
Same. Most of my players were ******' cheap so I actually have a good QB and receiver.

You may want to re-think that one, unless he gets traded before Thursday...Cornish.
Does Calgary have a bye?
They in fact do.

Haha, I just realized I picked differently on riderfans. On riderfans, I picked Fred Stamps.

On another note, Toronto would have had like 5 000 people at a game if this happened
.5,000 is what they get on a perfect weather day.
Pretty much

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

hearing a lot of excuses from the self proclaimed best fans in the league...
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.

19285 attendance, don't care what excuse black is using, gimme a break with the "flood ravaged areas" bs. That crowd is weak. Its been raining here too.. jesus, i get it, its raining but under 20,000 is weak, rain or not.
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.

Who gives a fack of he was the third choice.
He is with us now and played great quit complaining!
Yup. Willy was the right choice. There should be no regrets there.

Frigging Rod Black & his "Bo Mitchell" all game long. What a tool of a broadcaster. He just spoils every game he works & makes it unwatchable. Can't stand the guy. Yet he is back every year. Torture.
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.

Not even at 25K yet? That's just brutal. Not Toronto brutal, but still pretty bad.
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.
-
hey did you delete my post? Come on if we can't curse out a **** talking rider fan here then what's the 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

Southeast Saskatchewan got flooded big time. Highways closed and State of Emergencies called. Fortunately, Saskatoon didn't get hit.
