Quote from: theaardvark on November 01, 2024, 02:49:14 PMSo, if Salyes is fined for two hits, can each hit carry the max half game cheque fine?  Or, once you make a fineable hit, the rest are free?

Bet they can only take away 1/2 check total.  But good question.

Here's a better question: If the GM makes every player's salary $1 and pays them all in "bonus money", does that mean these fines are only 50c?

Also, does this mean Kenny getting fined 1/2 a check costs him 4X more than an ELC getting fined 1/2 a check??  How is that fair?  Is CFL socialist?

It's high risk, high reward.

Feels better if you win, worse if you lose.

I think Mafia probably guessed we'd face SSK.  And I think they prefer it.  We're built to take care of SSK, as those are always the most important games of the reg season.

Quote from: jayrock on October 31, 2024, 01:54:07 PMYa I hear you, so true. Hearing the attendance is good and you see it on tv and it sucks and you are like, what the hell.
Its like when you go to a sold out game and it looks like this....

Nice try jayrock!  You forgot about Tecno.  You try to hide it with a garbage resolution pic, but I sussed it out.

From the evidence in your pic and matching to my PVR: 3Q10:14.  Score is 13-4 and WPG has the ball at their 48 with 1st down.  Pokey & Kenny are walking/jogging to their starting spots pre-snap.

So 4 and a bit minutes into the 3rd Q.  At this time in every game there's still a zillion people lined up to take a whiz and get their chow & booze.  This game especially, because this is the second and last game after they gave every STH coupons for reduced price chow -- and every Pegger loves a good deal.  Had to use the coupons or lose 'em!  I was still in line getting my BOGOHO chicken finger combo at the mobbed concession.

Also, the photographer is on the W (home) side, and like every stadium, the visitor side is always less filled than the home.  Most of the gold (top) seats end up just being sold for Rum Hut standing room for many games.

Also, show a pic of the Rum Hut at the exact same time.  Ya, real empty.  There's another 500+ people down there all game.

I bet some member here has a pic of the same game at a non-whiz/chow moment to show how much fuller the stadium was, even of the E side.  Most of those 100-level between-the-20s seats are full, and most of the upper between the 30's except the golds.

My word, trying to start an attendance whizzing contest between Mosaic & PAS??  Have you seen your numbers this year??  How did that WSF attendance work out for ya... Is Rider FC going to take our equalization payments again this year as a have-not?

Love ya, jayrock... but weak sauce this time!

I took you almost 3 days. This is like waiting for fries at McDonald's. Cold and stale!

As for the eye ball test on Rider game attendance of the WSF it looked poor.

The visitor side upper deck looked out right empty and large pockets of empty seats in the corner sections.

Cudos to the fans that did show up but wow to say they are the best fans in the CFL is completely and utterly false as it stands now.

They are still out combining or chasing the stubble tumbleweeds! :D YEE HAW!!! Watermelon heads coming to the Peg! Or more likely this time of year Pumpkin heads! ;)

This is perfect in my opinion. Riders took some key injuries in the BC game, BC is way to unpredictable, VA is know to be hot or cold, and you don't want to face him when he's hot. Nothing better than beating the riders at home.

Can't pretend Riderfans are enthusiastic enough now to send large contingents and throw a party, best they can muster is one bus with 20-25 hardcore fans, the majority in green will be ex-pats.

Setup a tractor show and shine near the stadium and they will come! ;) :D

Haha!  It took me 4 mins once I started looking.  I was a bit busy getting the kids ready for Halloween and watching/analyzing the semi-finals.  It's hardly a priority.

Like my timing makes it less of an egg on your face spreading a fake narrative!

Last I read on Riderfans was they weren't doing any buses because there wasn't enough interest.  Of course, that was a few days ago, so that might have changed.

Sorry, no tickets left. They can watch the game from the lounge at the Viscount Gort if they promise to behave.
