Thanks for the link. Watching that " Small town " video gave me the goosebumps too. Whoever made that video, knows what it`s like to be a Hamiltonian and Tiger Cat fan. The old pictures of Ivor Wynne. Even glimpses of downtown and Gage park with the kids playing football. Brings back a lot of great memories. Great job on the video!!
This video shows that Hamilton would not be the same without our Ticats!!! :thup:
While I agree that the Small Town video is great, we have to remember that Hamilton isn't a small town. We have half a million people in Hamilton.
I went to university in Nova Scotia and Halifax (aka "the city") has roughly 150,000 people. The whole province only has about a million people. There are lots of small towns there.
The only way you could say Hamilton is a small town is if you compare it with Toronto (which they did in the video). And why does everyone always compare Hamilton to Toronto? Is it some kind of inferiority complex we have in Hamilton?
Hamilton really isnt a small town. In some ways, Hamilton has a small town feel to it. Maybe because the city is so divided. Downtown, the escarpment. Also, it isnt really like a metropolitan city. so I can see why the song fits the video.
You'd do well to remember that the city is surrounded by small towns (as shown in the video) where the residents are Ticat fans.
Also in comparison to Toronto, we are tiny. This isn't to say that we feel inferior to Toronto because with their high crime rate and numerous other problems that besiege large cities, I think we actually feel very lucky that we are not them.
Toronto's biggest setback of course is the Argooooos who can't buy a win this season against our Ticats.
