Hahaha I bet no kids will want one. Serouisly, I'm not going to go out of my way to get a bobblehead, they'll sell them later and frankly I don't care. If a kid cries because they don't get one, take a picture because otherwise I can't imagine that happening.Robbie wrote: Since you have kids, I guess you need to enter the stadium early and possibly miss most of the tailgate if you want them to get one.
For such a good item, I can imagine kids breaking down in tears if they don't get one.
Yeah, DPF you're a bit bigger than a 12 year old lol.....now if its 16 and under....DPF, sorry bud, I don't think you can pass for being 12. LF4L, on the other hand...................

The Sun paper said the first 4000 kids 12 and under. BBRobbie wrote:While it may have been mentioned on other threads before, let's use this thread to officially discuss and remind each other of 2007 Lions game day giveways, promotions, and half-time events. Last year, this thread was used to informally discuss game day giveways:
http://www.lionbackers.com/cheer/viewtopic.php?t=10900
In that thread, some of you expressed remorse about not taking advantage of free giveaways like posters and scarves. Well, if you don't want that to happen again, let's use this thread to inform each other of the giveaways that you can take advantage of this year and get more bang for your buck. And for those of you who receive free items, you can post pictures of them here too.
This is definitely a partial list. Please add other giveaways and events that you know about.

I was wondering that too. It looks really good quality and I would be happy to pay to get one for myself. I think in the future the team should introduce more bobbleheads, they're a popular collectible for a lot of people. Down in Seattle they had a 4-set series of Mariner players. They could do something similar here, have a Dickenson, Simon, B. Johnson and Glatt or whichever fan favorite defender you want. People would go crazy for something like that. The kicker though would be to have them be made available to everybody and not just kids.
Perhaps the available-to-kids-only angle is part of the larger goal of the club in creating the next generation of Lion fans.No Ordinary Joe wrote:I was wondering that too.

Sports can be a peculiar thing. When partaking in fiction, like a book or movie, we adopt a "Willing Suspension of Disbelief" for enjoyment's sake. There's a similar force at work in sports: "Willing Suspension of Rationality". If you doubt this, listen to any conversation between rival team fans. You even see it among fans of the same team. Fans argue over who's the better QB or goalie, and selectively cite stats that support their views while ignoring those that don't.
Time for my usual post-giveaway question:
For you kid Lionbackers like LF4L, did you get a Geroy Simon bobblehead?
And for those of you who accompanied kids, did they get one?

祝加拿大加式足球聯賽不列颠哥伦比亚卑詩雄獅隊今年贏格雷杯冠軍。此外祝溫哥華加人隊贏總統獎座·卡雲斯·甘保杯·史丹利盃。還每年祝溫哥華白頭浪隊贏美國足球大联盟杯。不要忘記每年祝溫哥華巨人贏西部冰球聯盟冠軍。
改建後的卑詩體育館於二十十一年九月三十日重新對外開放,首場體育活動為同日舉行的加拿大足球聯賽賽事,由主場的卑詩雄獅隊以三十三比二十四擊敗愛民頓愛斯基摩人隊。
祝你龍年行大運。
恭喜西雅图海鹰直到第四十八屆超級盃最終四十三比八大勝曾拿下兩次超級盃冠軍的丹佛野馬拿下隊史第一個超級盃冠軍。

Yes... I had both my kids with me last night (for a change) and they each got one. Excellent quality and it comes in a nice box too with photos of Geroy as well as his bio and career accomplishments. The only thing I wasn't crazy about is the Rogers logo at the base but I guess someone had to pay for them.Robbie wrote:Time for my usual post-giveaway question:

It's a nice souvenir to recognize one of the Lions all-time great players. Geroy turned 32 in September and we may only be looking at a couple of more seasons of his play being at a high level.
And for my usual post game question, did someone get one for me!!??Robbie wrote:Time for my usual post-giveaway question:

Thank you for everything you did for OUR Lions Mr.Ackles, we will never forget you...RIP

Got a couple with the kids, they should enjoy this even moreso when the Lion legends are looked back on and they have Geroy's bobble head collecting dust. They were all excited about it, and it is a very good market for creating future ST holders.

The only crappy part was they were not for sale...I was willing to snap up a few for Grey Cup gifts for people back east. Once again, the team misses out on moola...that and I heard a story of one person/family getting six of them...not real cool. I wonder how many will end up on eBay?
