July 10, 20178 yr Anyone else notice the cannon not going off after scoring plays? Sure we only had 2 on Friday night but even preseason had just one over the loud speakers once and that was it. Is this going to be all year or temporary? Anyone know? #bringbackthecannon

Anyone know? #bringbackthecannon I tweeted that out during the game without response. Of course, I also tweeted out complaining AGAIN about the terrible BP fan cannon, so maybe the Bombers are tired of my complaining.
July 10, 20178 yr I thought there were some noise complaints last year that may have led to the cannon's demise. Could be wrong but I thought I heard that.

It went off accidently late in the year a bunch of times during one game, including during the plays. I believe the operator injured his hearing. There is now an actual cannon again but we haven't heard it this year, AFAIK. I would be surprised if they went to the effort of putting a cannon back up there without actually using it. I would be disappointed if it were gone completely.

July 11, 20178 yr In all seriousness though, how could they get rid of the cannon... that's like, our THING. Many years our offensive production has been so woeful that Bomber touchdowns are worthy of the use of heavy artillery.

July 13, 20178 yr Sorry, I don't know how to properly post this tweet... but the main point is there... WPG Blue Bombers ✔@Wpg_BlueBombers @TSN_Sports @680CJOB 2 things to note going forward: 1. New H2O policy allowing sealed, plastic bottles under 1 litre into stadium 2. THE CANNON IS BACK

What's can you honestly have to complain about when it comes to the fan cannon?
