30dive Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 Ok so no one is happy with things as they are at One Bills Drive. What is a fan to do? We can’t boycott the team. That would guarantee the Mayflower vans pulling up to the Ralph and traveling to warmer parts. As I have mentioned before I really think we are being held hostage by our current GM who fully understands the passion of all Bills fans, he knows we will fill the stadium win or lose and he is right. We love football and we love our Bills, some of us more than our wives or husbands (no not me honey). So what to do? I say sell the damn stadium out for the remaining home games, show up, tailgate, eat, drink and be merry. Amongst the fans you tailgate with hold chili cook-off contests, wing eating contest, beer chugging contest, play loud music, build fires to keep warm by and enjoy yourself. When game time comes, remain at your tailgate party, hold fast boys and girls, resist the temptation to enter the stadium, maybe have one more beer, or one more wing, again hold fast, when the national anthem is played in the stadium (yes you can hear it out in the parking areas) stop what you are doing and show respect, hell sing it as loud as you want, but again hold fast the temptation to enter the stadium. No one enters the stadium until the ball has placed on the tee and it is kicked into those winds coming off Lake Erie. Make sure the players, not only the Bills but the Pats and the Broncos see an empty stadium, make sure Bills management and the owner see an empty stadium and make sure the media sees an empty stadium and when the ball has been kicked off pack up you car and enter the stadium, fill her up and cheer on your team, like you have never done before. What will everyone arriving late say or prove? That Bills fans are as passionate about their team as anywhere in the world of sport and that the present course is not acceptable.
Mark VI Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 Sorry... the bar in the Club opens at Noon ! I love scotch. Scotchy, scotch, scotch. Here it goes down, down into my belly... !

So don't tailgate in the stadium lots. Support the Hammer and park in his lot game day! And by the way I have a ton of restrooms including restrooms for ladies only unlike the jerks 2 doors down who have ZERO restrooms at their tailgate party?!
30dive Posted December 7, 2005 Author Posted December 7, 2005 Mark bring a laz-y-boy chair, build your own Club in the parking lot of your choice. I'll bring the scotch. And I'm sure the scotch will still be there at 14:00 of the 1st quarter.
smokinandjokin Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 No thanks. I'm not missing McGee taking the opening kickoff to the house. Try taking out a full page ad in the Buffalo News Sports section. The absence of 200 people on the Internet message board who go to the game will not be noticeable.
kasper13 Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 The game is already sold out. Tickets are all paid for. What everyone should do is show up, tailgate, then have a big ticket burning bonfire in one of the parking lots, then everyone can go home and watch the game on TV. Small sacrifice to make but a huge gesture. I'll throw my two in. They were paid for last February and I really don't care about the game this week. That's what my team has done to me. It took 27 years but here we are.
taterhill Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 just like in Mystery Alaska..when the Bills are introduced..everyone bring a news paper...put it in front of your face like you are reading it...no noise, nothing

BRH Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 That's what my team has done to me. 523455[/snapback] I feel a bit like Vito Corleone, actually, when I view the carnage of this season. "Look-a what they done to my boy."

I've often wondered why home team basketball fans don't go stone cold silent when the opposing team takes a foul shot. I think that would be more unsettling to the shooter than all the noise.
