Just like Ben Grant, put me down for 20.
Hopefully Adriano Belli is there. Hes good for 20 as well.

Who knows, if they can start the season on a road winning streak, maybe the team gets a bit of an attendance bump when they return. Maybe in a strange way the team’s first half absence actually builds fan interest, latent demand and all that.

Maybe this is the year the Argos finally pass the TFC in average attendance. Wouldn’t that be something, a $1M franchise drawing more fans than a $700M (sic) one? TFC avg. attendance so far this year is just over 16k, down from 21k last year. The bloom is clearly off that rose.

Does anybody believe a dollar hot-dog is going to be the main attraction to get new fans to show-up ?
