Yes I did and you can bring up their quotes if you like as it's pretty clear what they think.
There's a reason attendance is down league-wide this year. Fans are tiring of the officiating and Riders bias. I know a few Stampeders season ticket holders that were so disgusted with the officiating of the Western Final they they have boycotted the league and as you can see Stampeders attendance for the first two games is way down from where it normally has been over the past couple of decades. A sunny, Saturday evening at McMahon against the Eskimos is usually guaranteed 32,000 to 34,000. They couldn't even crack 30,000. This is what happens when you isolate the fanbases that have been the most supportive over the past couple of decades. The Stampeders and Eskimos have always been 1 & 2 in attendance and it's a slap in the face that the Riders who in the 90's were lucky to get 20,000 out for a home game have now been placed on a pedestal. The league better get it's act together because the league can't survive on it's own soley on Rider fan support.
