For those of you who don't visit the official Bombers site, a number of fans have organized a rally that will be held at Portage & Main on Thursday from 3:30 to 5:30. The purpose of the rally is to support the Bombers and the Blue Out. When the Bombers office was told about the rally, they volunteered the services of Buzz and Boomer. And now, during a Q & A session today, Siddeeq Shabazz said he was going to bring some of the players to join the fans too. If you want to join the rally, everyone will be meeting up outside the Richardson Building. See you there!
The fans at the rally were already waving Bomber flags and making plenty of noise when I got there at 3:30. It was a decent turnout considering most people are still at work or school when it started. Lots of response from the traffic going by. All of the media were there during the first 45 minutes of the rally so there should be lots of publicity. Buzz and Boomer were there for about an hour and I got a nice picture of each with my daughter. Coach Kelly stopped by for a few minutes to say thanks to everyone. Siddeeq Shabazz was there with his wife and kids for a while as well as Aaron Hargreaves. It was a lot of fun.
It wasn’t a team rally. It was a rally by fans to promote the game. Do you really think we would hold a team rally outside on a sidewalk at Portage & Main? :roll:
