Thats not how things work.... It's not only for TV.... Ppl take transit to games. At BMO the Go Train doesn't run past a certain time, if they delayed the start time... I wouldn't of been able to get home, and I'd be pissed because I have to work in the morning. Not to mention staff are paid for a certain time period.

king1010 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 (edited) They just dumped a couple thousand tickets in the endzone and upper west stand for tonights game. Will be tough to get to 56K but it will be close to 50 for the game. Mexico looking good to sell out.

As a Lion's season ticket holder for many years, I can attest that the vast majority of pitch invaders that I saw during that time didn't have a clue who or what the CFL was.

I go to most Elks games and I don’t think I have ever seen anyone run on to the field. They do make announcements that that will not be tolerated. They need to do so Tuesday although I don’t know if that will help. -Hammer- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What they need to add - after kickoff and before kickoff - is that Canada is subject to sanctions up to and including an empty stadium for future home games. Not that the people who run on the field care (nor do they care about the $2K fine they get) but maybe their seatmates will grab them. And include that info in that CS/Ticketmaster email they send out. But security screwed up last night - we needed at least nine people to invade, to collect enough money for the sanction fine. 🙂 Edited November 13, 2021 by CanadianTraveller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The CFL knobheads" I really can't stand this type of labelling. There are plenty of CFL fans that are soccer fans, hockey fans that are soccer fans, basketball fans that are soccer fans, baseball fans that are soccer. Why does a proper fan have to be one who only watches soccer? We need fans of other sports to make room in their heart for soccer. Sports fans generally have a large appetite and room for more than one sport in their heart. There was a streaker at the England vs Italy 2020 Euro finals, so enough of your elitist attitude. People running on to the field can happen at any event. We call these people idiots. We don't label them people who are fans of any particular sport.

Completely agree, There is no such as CFL knobheads, just drunk ones. Too much beer/liquor can make people do some really stupid things. It is simple as that. On a positive note the lower bowl for Tuesday is just down to singles in the lower bowl. Last night has to a be the perfect add for anyone still thinking of going to the match against Mexico match. -Hammer- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not nearly as many as the tickets that were being dumped late for the Costa Rica match. A near sell-out still looks likely. We'll see how decide to stay home because of the weather though.

Fuck I hope it doesn’t screw us over in the 4th window I know this may sound like I'm blowing a bit of hot air here, but this is also a result of the national team not spreading games around. It hasn't had a chance to weed out these types and build the culture stating this isn't acceptable. Also, given there's no indication that the team is coming back to Edmonton after these two games, some drunk idiots are certainly going to see it as a once in a lifetime chance to be the guy that pulled this stunt and wear it as a badge of honor.

Lansdude Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 He's not thinking of CFL fans so much as using CFL fans as a byword for low class provincial, which, fine, these people maybe are. That might get people exercised about Toronto elitism or classism or whatever, but he's not doing PR for Canada Soccer, and as someone from a pretty "working class" origin myself I find it funny tbh. Older folks who grew up with the CFL and it's folksy history can get mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That video is what I like to see and what should happen to any idiot who chooses to run on the field. I've said it before on here (and have been chastised for saying so), until these idiots are battered unconscious and dragged off the field leaving a trail of blood, it will continue. Hopefully that idiot who got tackled by that security guy behind the net is recovering in hospital now, thinking about his decision to enter the field.
