How are last minute tickets? I plan on going to the Bombers @ Stamps game in September. Likely won't be getting tickets till a few days before. Never been to a live game at McMahon before.

that's awesome. Are there walk ups usually still available? I might bring some of my cousins along too, who are living in Calagry for the moment. They're used to their football as something we call soccer and it would be nice to all sit in one section to show em our version.

I'm not too skilled with this as I've only ever been to 2 live CFL games before (at CanadInns)...even though I consider myself an avid fan...I watch the games on TV generally.

Brandon Stewart will be back in lineup for bombers vs Lions this week

This would mark the first time all season the Bombsrs' D has all their starters playing

Should be interesting to see if we fair better than the Riders did (they looked great at D @ times)

Or if the Lions killer D will shutdown Mr Eliott

You may want to buy ahead of time just incase, not sure if there are tickets available at stadium. Maybe scalpers heh. There seems to be alot of Winnipegers around these days so it could be like a Stamps/Riders game with the crowd pretty much 50/50.

I was pretty close; section T row 29.

I think the crowd was lame for a couple reasons: the team gave us nothing, and it was Toronto. Nobody cares about the Argos; sure, we want to beat them, but there's no hatred there.

BC Lions win again! Gutsy, character building game and field goal with no time left to win! Still Best in the League!

Calvillo with a career high 7 straight 300+ yds game. He's probably playing the best football I've seen him play in the last few years.

Richardson missed another game due an injury and Brandon London got injured. Despite that, we're still no in trouble because we have SJ Green. He currently leads the CFL with 737 yds.

Hopefully he comes up with another "catch of the century" candidate soon. It's been a while now.

Definitely staying up to watch the Argos face their wtf decision to release Cory Boyd! Hopefully it doesn't turn out like I'm expecting and the Argos keep up with the lead in the division.

Forget Boyd - the Argos need to get someone for Ray to throw to.

Messam is back with the Eskimos.

Edmonton sure has a lot of running backs now.

Didn't look like the right decision yesterday.
I didn't understand the move coming off the good 2nd half against the Lions.

Agreed.

Tough times for bomber fans. The fanbase is just upset with management as a whole. It's worse that the coaches aren't being supported either, I mean to be fair to Burke, he was just thrown into this position. LaPo should have been given the year, the move was not met with much support amongst Bomber fans. But hindsight is always 20/20. A lot of us myself included were looking forward to Burke in the coaches shoes...but not at the expense of destabilizing an already momentumless team

I'm still gonna support them when they come out here to Calgary though.

^ I'm glad to see the stong support the Bombers get. If anyone has suffered long enough it's Bomber fans.
Sorry though, I'll be cheering for the Stamps as always.
