Quote from: bomb squad on December 09, 2025, 09:30:18 PMI see where your coming from, but I'm more with Techno on this one. I think the CFL was expecting some backlash on this, but probably underestimated the magnitude of it. The noise alone won't get their attention and that's all they have to deal with right now. When season ticket renewals come up though, that will tell the real story. We're going to find out how serious people are.
There is a limit to how much financial backlash the teams will be willing to accept and absorb, and it could very well exceed that limit. This is definitely not a done deal.

Tie that into your car and you'll get better sound quality than you will from most AM reception! Of course that only works until you get to very remote cottage roads. All the main highways should be good.
Quote from: bomber beetle on December 09, 2025, 08:51:20 PMThe CFL has told me what they are changing.
I believe that I have the choice to accept the changes or move on. That is it.
I agree, most fans do not like the reduction in field length.
However, I just do not sense there are enough that are willing to die on that hill.
The CFL is willing to lose the ones that are.
I just don't see any realistic situation where the league will not plow ahead with this.
Quote from: Tecno on December 09, 2025, 05:28:42 PMThat's what they want you to believe. Perception is everything. They want you to think you're in the minority, when "Save The 110 YL" people are clearly in the vast, nay overwhelming, majority.
Until the 2 new turf orders are placed (and even past that) anything can happen. The first people cancelling their STHs over the changes will hit this year. Then it snowballs before the '27 season. It all depends how big that group turns out to be.
Quote from: VictorRomano on December 09, 2025, 07:45:09 PMI lose all connectivity once I get north of Kenora and hit the 597 bypass north towards Minaki - this on a Galaxy S24+ through BellMTS. From that point on, I get the occaisonal one bar, or mostly no signal at all for the last 80-90 minutes of my trip. This also affects my satellite radio (SiriusXM). It's so bad (my place backs onto a giant granite hill 300ft tall and blocks my cell signal from the closest tower) that I need to rely on Starlink set up on a tower for everything, and have to use IPTV to watch games at the lake. The joys of being (semi)offgrid.....

Quote from: Tecno on December 09, 2025, 05:12:57 PMIt's CGY 3x, not SSK. This may or may not be a good thing, depending on how much talent SSK loses in FA and if CGY can keep improving or loses a step.
