That's great, I wish I had a room just for Ticat collectibles.
Iāve already contacted them. Here is their response. (btw he replied with a correction from āfamiliesā to āfamilyāsā for any grammar nerds).
I had a sports bar motif in the basement . Autographs and pictures including
Grey Cup vcr tapes from 1963, 65, 67, 72, 89, and 1999 . Sadly, none of my memories fit in our new seniorsā residence .
Pat Lynch (the old guy)
Do you still have room for memories in your seniorsā head? lol
So far, so good.
Pat Lynch (the older guy)
I find that kind of sad that they wouldnāt archive that photo. The panoramic interactive photo they had on the website was a neat memento for the fans that were there and a fitting final tribute to IWS. They should have left that picture on the website forever.
Thatās pretty cool. Wish Iād know about that interactive poster. Dang!
I miss the old barn I knew every Nick and cranny of that place
The new stadium is nice but it has no personality at all
I remember being so soaked that Night
I was so wet when I got home I had to wring my clothes out
But the good thing about the rain was it hid my tears
I hated seeing the old barn get tore down still do
But times have changed and the cats needed a new venue
Not that it matters now, but I imagine it was something that didnāt get brought over to the new website when the next change occurred. Still, it could have been saved for posterity on a server whenever that happened, but unfortunately we lived (live) in a disposable society. I have hope that will be one of the many positive changes that come out of the current pandemic.
The Cats won all their home games (10) in 2019 at THF . Ivor Wynn with its wooden benches , splinters, crowded concessions, and washrooms never could match our new stadium .
The seating and sight lines at THF are great . Our caretaker is great . Our recruiting is great because of our modern facilities and our coaching and management team . Your longing for the old days is illogical .
Pat Lynch (the old guy)
Sorry Pat Iām sentimental
I would rather go back to the old barn
Yes the new stadium is far superior
But for me personally Iād rather take in a game at Ivor Wynne Then Tim Hortons field
Maybe because I volunteered to do some of the internet wiring
In the old stadium with one of their Outsource technicians
I remember crawling around in the old dive in the press boxes
Running Cat6 cable from side to side
I remember going to practices
Iām talking to Danny and Paul as they were taking the field
I just knew that building better and it felt like home
The new building facilities are excellent I just donāt like it as much Outsource technician crawling around
Do you ever look at decades-old family photos - say, from 75 years ago - and wonder how many of the pictures or videos taken in 2020 will still be accessible in, say, 2095?
āIf man is still aliveā to quote Zager and Evans.
Watch the Michael Moore movie on YouTube " Planet of the Humans. " An alternate view that debunks the Climate Change theorists. I sincerely hope we are all around for thousands of years.
I, for one, am glad MY WIFE appreciates old dilapidated things!
Best post of the new board!
Itās cool to talk about how bad the new stadium is, and how bad the new fans are, and how bad the replays are, and how loud the music is, and ā¦ and ā¦ and ā¦
You said it best Sir!
