Everyone bashes me for being an Argo cynic but ive been a life long fan since 1982. Poor management decisions have driven this franchise into the ground. For the sake of the CFL we should seriously...

Time to face the bitter truth. Today was the smallest crowd to watch an Argo game at home in the post war era (exception of preseason and home games scheduled outside Toronto). 10,844 Thats right...

I like the dark blue on blue but the white helmets are cool too. Just dont bring back those white jerseys with the big fat "A" on the front. Looks awful. Football uniforms should have numbers on the...

You can thank TSN for that. Without them CFL is even less relevant in the sporting landscape than the late 90s, if thats even possible

While CFL has traditionally been a gate...

cfl sadly is simply dying in Canada's three biggest markets. Cant see it going on much longer, especially after TSN's contract ends in 2021 (only thing keeping the league afloat). Its not a...

Getting rid of the north stands will simply not happen. tFc and the Argos share the same venue and same owner now but trust me TFC calls the shots. Franchise has a value of 250 million.

Have to diagree with your first point. tFC gets probably 10x more media exposure and hype than the Argos. To be perfectly frank, TFC is hype and cool and the Argos are not. Most people in the office...

This illustrates the problem facing the Argos and the CFL in general. With the exception of TSN the cfl, at least in Toronto, gets zero (and i mean zero, nothing, nada) media coverage and thats part...

Was at the game last night and the closed off empty stands on the east side looked pretty pathetic. I thought the purpose of the move to bmo was so they wouldnt have to close off entire sections like...

If the Argos were an NFL team.......other than that toronto is too snooty for the CFL

590 is part of the problem with declining interest in the CFL in the GTA. Except for the talk after the GC win i heard next to nothing all year long about the CFL and when I did it was always how...

Actually, contrary to popular opinion, you will find CFL attendance as a whole actually declines in October and November (specifically in the west). Look at CFL database attendance figures. Without...

Without question this "built up hunger and popularity popping syndrome" after a championship can be pinpointed to the Argos in 1983. When they broke that 31 year old drought on that November night...

Ideally i think both Halifax and Quebec City would be great additions to the league. However that makes the league imbalanced again. Could we put a sixth team out west somewhere? Everyone says...

Disagree. Originally from Newfoundland. Thinking newfies would support a team in halifax is like thinking people in winnipeg would support a team in Regina. Ditto for new brunswickers as well. Plus a...

I still think Quebec City would be a better fit. Bigger population (same size as Winnipeg) and the current university stadium can be retrofitted to CFL stsndards less costly than a brand new one in...

A 10 team league, one division would be ideal. Top two teams get a bye (as an incentive first place team is automatically awarded the grey cup the following year). Teams 3-6 play the first round....

I suspect this will be a Riders home game.

Only 7k to go in 4 days. We can do it!

Hate to say but the only thing holding the CFL together now is that juicy TSN tv deal they got which will expire in 2021? TSN bought in when CFL was on the upswing and theres no way they will pony up...

Congrads to Rider nation. bmo is almost assured a sellout now and Riders fans have a chance of making this a home game :D

You cant deny that the popularity of TFC (running at the same time all year with the CFL) has only helped suck the life out of the Argos fan base in this city (similiar to what the BJs started doing...

Time to pack in the franchise if they cant get close to a sellout next weekend. I hope they do. Will be another embarrassment for TSN and the league if they have tons of empty red seats for this...
