DEAD! Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 About 500 people rallied to keep the Expos in Montreal, which is about the same number as our boards members rallied against the IHA http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2004/base...y.ap/index.html I saw, I came, I left.

NJTank Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 This rally comes 6 years too late had they built Labbat Park back then the Expos would not be leaving, but festering in Olympic Stadium the last 3 yars without an owner its just time. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaolinaJoe Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 About 500 people rallied to keep the Expos in Montreal Almost a sellout for a home game. "It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of thepress. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom ofspeech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given usthe freedom to demonstrate. And it is the soldier who salutes theflag, serves beneath the flag, whose coffin is draped by the flag, andwho allows the protester to burn the flag."Marine Chaplain Dennis Edward O' Brien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchie Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Well, looks like 4,000 people is too much for Montreal.(maybe if they allowed smoking at the Big-O they'd get more?)Look for the attendance number in this article(gotta love the Snow and Cigarette stereotype )Game by Game AttendanceTake away the 33K and 20K, and this is even sadder (if that's at all possible) @Frenchie_TO Owner of the Rochester Americans of the MLH Owner of the Toronto Frenchies of the GCFHL6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAD! Posted September 28, 2004 Author Share Posted September 28, 2004 You have to admit, the fact the Expos were in a playoff race helped their attendance last year I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchie Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 You have to admit, the fact the Expos were in a playoff race helped their attendance last year Sure, about 25% Bandwagon Fans...I still can't stop thinking about it... Anybody wants to put bids on my Expos' Cap and shirt? @Frenchie_TO Owner of the Rochester Americans of the MLH Owner of the Toronto Frenchies of the GCFHL6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 In 2005, MLB Shop will put all the Montréal Expos stuff in "Cooperstown". Of course... at very, very expensive prices than today as usual!!! It's great to be young and a Giant! - Larry Doyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoking isn't allowed, but people still do it anyways, and security doesn't give a damn... nothing finer than waiting to get out the only exit in the stadium (therefore it's crowded) with smoke filling the corridors. --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's Montreal for you...Remember people mocking my "Montreal Smoke" concept?That's one of the reason I couldn't go back to live there...Someone said (in the feedback to my concept) that they were planning a Total Ban in bars and restaurant in the next few years..."Good Luck With That..." @Frenchie_TO Owner of the Rochester Americans of the MLH Owner of the Toronto Frenchies of the GCFHL6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
