If David Beckham is injured then the October 3 game is cancelled. That's in the contract. He must be able to play that game or else no show. He currently has a sore ankle so I don't know if he's going to play in Toronto on Sunday (CBC).
Here's something to ponder. Under the 1040 contract, this year if there's a conflict between the Canucks and Lions playing at the same time, the Canucks broadcast stays on 1040 and the Lions broadcast gets bumped to 14 CFUN.
Look at the Western Final date. The Canucks play that day.
Can you imaging the Western Final being on 14 CFUN?????
That is unthinkable. But it could happen

You can see the reply there. That's the final straw that broke the camel's back. I ain't going to tolerate comments like that.
There are some of you who I have enjoyed interacting with since the 2004 Western Final but that personal insult is the final straw for me. Many of you obviously can't engage in a discussion about anything other than the BC Lions without getting into insults.
It's really too bad this incident had to happen cause I really thought things were getting better.
Goodbye.
Thought you left????
it sucks that a game of this magnitude is on a thursday, but i have faith that there will be at least 30k people coming out for this one.

For us CFL fans on the Island, a thursday game is the worst possible time. There are tons of reasons but the biggest is that BC ferries quite at the same time the game ends, so you have to get a hotel and go home the next day.
Sure wish the fast cat from Downtown Nanaimo to Downtown Vancouver was still running. They had all sorts of deals to get to Lions/Canucks and Whitecap game.
I don't know why scheduling is such a problem. There are four games a week. Two double headers Friday and Saturday and then the Sat games can be moved to Sunday after Labour Day.

Waving the Rider Pride all over the world
At last year's WF, it was obvious a huge population of the upper bowl was only there to get plastered, talk on their cell phones, and wave to their buddies across the field. Great atmosphere. Oh wait.
I guess I should have bought tickets earlier in the lower level to avoid the tools, but as it stands, my experience was poor enough that I probably won't ever return to BC Place.

Thursday game, beautiful night...I'm going to go out on a limb and predict 28,543 for this game. :(
Roar you Lions roar!

We should be so lucky.
