2023 Argos and CFL Attendance

[Scooter McCray]

But, why chirp at us? We're not the ones thumbing our noses at the CFL.

I'm not chirping at you or anyone else on this forum. Everyone on thus forum is a diehard Argo fan and supporter of the team and want to see it and the league thrive. As a fan, on a forum of like minded people I am venting a long held frustration because I feel safe to do so on here. I'm hoping ownership occasionally looks at this forum and will one day say you know what maybe we could do more.

I was referring to the Western trolls on Twitter, and not you, sorry for the confusion.

Sorry as well. I was confused. I am in agreement. Others can be jealous of the Argos success but being an Argo fan and supporter of this team can feel pretty lonely other than on GameDay at BMO. I firmly believe the Argos have the best core fanbase because of having been through the slow intentional ignoring of the media in this city over the last 40 years.

The injuries to both KGJ and Robertson Daniel were mentioned in the 6am Sports Report with Kate Otterbein on 94.5 FM Wingham this morning. Seems MLS is really targeting the rural North Huron County Demographic and its paying off.

Just wondering about these MLSE efforts to market or promote the Argos; and I'm asking seriously since I don't live in the GTA to hear about them?

Have they or could they have, blasted Argo adds/propaganda all over the place (like electronic billboards, radio, local TV or magazines ) ? Can you go in the GTA Beer Stores and find Argo gear? Is there Argo gear at local big retailers like Canadian Tire or Giant Tiger or Wally-Mart ?

Well I can tell that in Stratford (population 45,000) there is no Argo gear to be seen other than the odd cap at Walmart.

I live in a small town filled with football players and fans. Unfortunately the answer is no. Nothing at Wally-World, Crappy T, the Big Cat or the Beer Store this year.

There is plenty of unsold Raptors gear in all these stores though.

I question why this is, especially if the Argo owners could make some sort of effort to do something about it ?

I believe I mentioned before here my brief stop-over at Billy Bishop last summer: where I checked out the big store / souvenir stand and found: basically every Toronto sports teams and some other leagues merch. available - Leafs (& other NHL), Jays, Raptors, NFL (various), FC soccer, the local lacrosse (?) team ... but zero, zip, nadda Argo gear - like they don't even exist to some of the population. Sign of what the Argos have been up against in their own part of the map, and for decades. Pathetic. But oh well, nothing can be done.

McCown was one (admittedly influential) voice in a media eco-system that also included newspapers, other radio stations and TV (local and national). It's certainly not all Bob's fault that people turned away from the Argos, anymore than it is all "the media's" fault. As I said above, there were many, many factors.

It was kind of funny to see a BC Lions fan chirp about Argos attendance on Twitter the other day. The Lions have made great strides, but let's not pretend like there weren't attendance issues in Vancouver either.

Good to see the Argos get a sellout - only trouble its for a Bomber home game on September 29th.

Their fans are looking at it as some sort of revenge game. Probably think it means something to the Argos too.

I can report that the Lids and Sports Chek at Fairview Mall have no Argos stuff for sale.

Attendance down a bit last week. With home big home dates in BC and Winnipeg this week, that'll likely go up. Also, Ottawa hosting Montreal should help them get a better than average gate.

Are playoff tickets for East Final being sold yet? Asking for many family I would like to bring.

I contacted my rep last week. He said should be in early October.

Is the Eastern Final Game included in our season ticket membership package or do we have to buy this ticket? confused

Yes it is. I bought extra tickets.

If you're a STH then you can buy them now.
