January 15, 201510 yr comment_103335 I disagree the average fan is 80% ticket holders who like to watch the team and get in a good football game. The other 20% would be die hards whom pay attention to pressers and chat on forums. Even then I think 20% may be high
January 15, 201510 yr comment_103336 I disagree the average fan is 80% ticket holders who like to watch the team and get in a good football game. The other 20% would be die hards whom pay attention to pressers and chat on forums. Even then I think 20% may be highI'd say the "die hard" fans are more like 2%.
January 15, 201510 yr comment_103338 1 or 2 percent sounds right. If that. Only like 100 or so people on the forum.
January 15, 201510 yr comment_103347 Someone define "Average Fan"... Someone who has no clue who Stubler or Hall or anyone and who gets all of their info via TSN / CJOB / Sun / Free Press ....
January 15, 201510 yr comment_103348 Someone define "Average Fan"... Someone who has no clue who Stubler or Hall or anyone and who gets all of their info via TSN / CJOB / Sun / Free Press .... If that's average...
January 15, 201510 yr comment_103357 Couldn't care less when they announce it. Completely irrelevant. Several sources have indicated he is our new DC including ones in Regina. That's good enough for me.
January 15, 201510 yr comment_103364 Someone define "Average Fan"... Someone who has no clue who Stubler or Hall or anyone and who gets all of their info via TSN / CJOB / Sun / Free Press .... Someone who doesn't get manic depressive over staffing decisions in January....
January 15, 201510 yr comment_103375 If I asked my friend (who is a fellow 12-year season ticket holder with me) who our DC is... he would likely say "no idea".... If I asked him who the DC was last year, again, he would probably have no idea... I agree the percentage of Bomber fans that actually really care about this announcement is somewhere along the lines of about 1-2%...
January 15, 201510 yr comment_103377 Agree, the average fan has no idea who the coaching staff is. Most will probably know the name Mike O'Shea and that he's our head coach. They'll know some of the main players but probably not too many. They mostly just want to go to a game and watch the team win. Hell, I don't even know the names of our whole coaching squad, and I frequent these boards.
January 15, 201510 yr comment_103384 I am the 1% Based on the criteria of an 'Average Fan', I think I belong to the group.
January 15, 201510 yr comment_103387 the people being described here as "Average Fan".......I don't consider those real fans at all. Those are more like Rider "fans"....the ones that make up the greater population of so called Rider "fans"....
January 15, 201510 yr comment_103389 average: a number expressing the central or typical value in a set of data, in particular the mode, median, or (most commonly) the mean, which is calculated by dividing the sum of the values in the set by their number. The average fan does not check this site multiple times a day and obsess over coaches and announcements. The obsessive or hard core fan does. Face it, those of us that obsess at sites like this are not “normal”. And there is nothing wrong with that. The Bombers know that they don’t have to try very hard to get the attention and money of the hard core fan. They do have to try harder to get to the average fan. This is why announcements in the off season are often strategically scheduled to get the Bombers name out into the news at regular times, and not necessarily the minute a signing is a done deal. It doesn’t mean they don’t appreciate the hard core fan or are trying to upset them. They are just doing what a smart organization does to remain in the conscience of a wider fan base. And yes, those people are real fans. They spend money on season tickets and merchandise just like hard core fans else (maybe not as much on a per fan basis, but they spend more money as a group). If the only fan this organization had was the hard core fan, it wouldn't be an organization for long.

January 17, 201510 yr comment_103745 Could there still be other candidates in the running? Baron Miles?
January 17, 201510 yr comment_103747 Could there still be other candidates in the running? Baron Miles?He's been linked to the Montreal DC possible opening.
January 17, 201510 yr comment_103748 Anwar Stewart wants to be promoted to LB coach in MTL. He really wants to be a DL coach though.
January 17, 201510 yr comment_103785 Could there still be other candidates in the running? Baron Miles?He's been linked to the Montreal DC possible opening. There is no possible opening for DC in Montreal. Thorpe isn't going anywhere.
