I thought I'd post this, as it does not seem right to not have a game thread so soon before the opening kickoff.
And yes, I know about the nasty mistake I made the last time I started a game thread. But I was just checking to see who pays attention to this information here.
WHAT – Tiger-Cats gameday, Tiger-Cats vs. Alouettes
WHO – The Hamilton Tiger-Cats and Montreal Alouettes
WHY – The long-overdue first road win of the Tiger-Cats' in over a year (hopefully)
As you can imagine, ticket availability is very difficult here in Montreal with Molson Stadium's limited capacity and consistent sellouts. I wanted to sit in the Ticat fan section for this game to enjoy the game with Hamilton supporters making the train trip here. I contacted a represntative of the Cats indicating that I did not need the train part of the package, just a game ticket.
I was asked to contact the Alouettes ticket office re a single game ticket in the group section reserved by the Cats. I did, and was told to contact the Cats again, which I did.
I was told that inquiries would be made by the Cat representative to see if another ticket could be secured from the Als people....I didn't hear anything back.
The logistics of all this were compounded by the fact that I do not have a credit card, so I wasn't in a position to reserve electronically.
I'm a little too old to be going back and forth like a really bad game of Pong, so I will enjoy the game with a friend here and cheer on the Cats.
What's the matter? Don't want to come back to Molson Percival for fear of seeing another disastrous penalty-plagued game ? (Last HML-MTL game was atrocious penalty-wise... for both teams, really)
Not answering for Bob here but he's probably busy nailing plywood across his windows....man, their weather is bad lately....(not that ours is any better here right now....eeek!)
Anyways, let's hope for a huge win!...I know the guys can pull it off!

Looking forward to a great game. I've invited a few of my fellow season ticket holders to my house to watch it in high definition.
My wife has preparred some nibblies and the beer is cold.
