Ripper Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 I hope this train wreck keeps going on to prove how "loyal" rider pride Is. I remember going to labour day in 2011 and a buddy of mine who had never been was shocked at how few rider fans were around. The bar was 95% bomber fans, there were a hand full of people actually wearing rider gear. It was awesome. It will happen again. That's kind of odd considering the Riders sold around 25k season tickets that year that so many bomber fans were there isn't it? You guys can laugh at how bad we are all you want but even this year there are 26700 season tickets sold so the myth that any team will ever outnumber our fans in our stadium is simply that, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
do or die Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 For the Riders...tough deal to be built to "win now".....and yet not win. rebusrankin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zontar Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 A lot of furrowed brows and tortured logic in Prider land. Firing Chamblin and Taman wont fix anything yet firing Cortez and Hall was supposed to fix everything. Chamblin is being exposed as an average mediocre coach/ Taman is exposed for being Taman. Too many havnt come to grips with the obvious yet . Mark F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empty seats will follow At this moment they're busy planning a league wide boycott of CFL games on a specific weekend to protest the new rules. I anxiously await instructions from my Green Master.

Even at 0-18 this year you won't see a significant drop as the new stadium will keep ppl buying. If you go years without success 3-4 that's when you will see a significant drop. Where as the Bombers have gone forever with success and still sell above 22k in season tix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearpants Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Actually rider fans do have some reason for optimism... they lost by 4, 2, 3, and 3... but there is also reason for pessimism... they don't appear to be getting any better... best part is they could be 4-0... but actually are 0-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bomber fans have done a good job supporting the team through a drought that has lasted too long. You are right our season ticket numbers will go down if we continue to struggle but I contend that 22k or better is a number that will hold as we too have a solid fan base and we too know what suffering is. I've been there for years and have enjoyed the good times, but have seen more bad times I'm afraid. I think what's happening now to certain extent is the fans are not going to just watch things go down the crapper without saying something. Gone are the years where we are just happy to have a team. Yes some are panicking, but that happens everywhere. the crazy fans don't speak for the majority as it is in every cfl city.

Noeller Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 and the Riders have way more of those type of fans than any other team, by a mile. Good for them, because that helps the bottom line a TON, but man do I ever hate bandwagon fans because they're the loudest while being the most ignorant.

What we want is a nice long streak of the Riders sucking so that these folks will finally STFU and go away. I hear that. We have fans of many teams that simply just troll our board when their particular team beats the Riders. Pisses me off. I see many Bomber fans posting there regularly. Few from Lions and the Stamps. Those people bring a lot of good perspective to the board and the discussion. Sometimes being too close limits our ability to see the obvious. Its funny sometimes I'm more objective about the Bombers than I am about the Riders. I guess its because I'm not emotionally invested in the Bombers ups and downs so its easier to see the big picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
