Tom: Aw c’mon. You have seen us sitting and chatting at games and practices. Everything is fine.
We both like to make our points on this forum …that’s all.
Whether Fred wants to believe it or not, this is not his personal call. By on the surface, he almost sounds like he is doing everyone a favour and is just humouring us.
He has to grasp the notion that he is just a well paid public servant, is far from an expert on sports facilities and it is incumbent on him to rally for, and encourage the BEST location, and not just HIS location.
He needs to leave his ego at the door and be mindful that this is -other- people's money he's playing with......ie. Ticats, taxpayers etc.
As Scott Michell said, ALL sites should always be on the table for equal consideration. (paraphrasing)
..having said that however, I'm glad the Mayor finally blinked.
I still think a discussion in a bar over a few beers would straighten things out with everyone better than firing off posts here. Not that I don’t appreciate the opportunity this forum offers but face to face debates are more productive and usually more civil than dealing with faceless and anonymous posters.
Hey…who knows? The bar thing could happen. Maybe when this stadium mess is over…one way or the other…we could all do that!
Not sure why there are so many different stadium threads now. Having so many makes it confusing and leads to many duplicated posts and discussions just like this thread.
The one stadium thread was quite suffificient for the longest time.
I was thinking it is more like the two old geezers from Sesame Street!
Really though we never argue when we are at the practices etc. I ask him and you for your opinions on players etc and you guys are very helpful.
The problem with this stadium issue is there are so many unknowns and twists and turns it is impossible for any one of us on this forum to be right about anything at any given time.
Confusing seems to be the proper description for the entire stadium issue, why should this forum be any different.
If people want to start their owm thread now and then so their post and point don’t get lost it’s not really that big a deal…is it?
guys, I'm not surprised most of these discussions lose interest among all except a few regulars when they degenerate in this manner... but could we try to keep it on topic?
