LOVE it. There's no positives. It's the Riders. I'll bet the population of Saskatchewan takes a significant dip tonight and it won't be people moving.

I saw positives, but sure...

I hope the gades get a playoff game. That would be awesome!!

I dont care if the Riders lose by 1 or 40. A loss is a loss. Here we go again Rider fans!! It will be a roller coaster ride the next 2 weeks for fans and their team. Im thinking there will be some major shakeups for the next game.

Please spare us the crap about the positives. Anytime a team is favoured to get 1st or 2nd and go on to lose 4 in a row the positives are thrown out the window.

I really don't think there will be many shakeups for the Riders until the end of the season. They've been stable in management for years now and the key people believe in each other (for better or for worse). Maybe Crandell will start next game, but I don't see any heads rolling.

I think tonights crowd had a few extra Rider fans at this game so the numbers are probably inflated. Either way its money in Ottawas pocket.

from the 10mins of the game i saw , it didn't look like there was a big crowd... any word on how many where in attendance ?

Nice to see support in the east rising

it is great for the cfl. Even Hamilton still seems to be supporting the team.

Over 28,000 a game for the TiCats despite their record. Thats pretty impressive.

Great new for the Gades, that's awesome. Hopefully it will continue.
Now the only team we will need to worry about is Sask as their attendance will drop due to the "best fans in the country" not wanting to watch their pathetic play.

Indeed ...support is up everywhere. I've heard rumours of 30k+ in TO tonight , that'd be nice considering that they drew 11k vs the Esks in 03 .

Get the people in the seats...that's what key.


i REALLY encouraged to see these attendance numbers...overall, it's great for the league.

20,607, and I'd guesstimate about 500-750 greenies around.

Not great, but hey, it's a first step, especially considering our horrendous TV schedule.
