Sellout

The Raiders declared Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Browns a sellout, assuring the game will be televised locally.
Last season’s Cleveland game drew 41,862 fans _ the lowest home crowd of the season.

Great news!!! Seriously!!! Because for all my “un-true fan-like” negativity, if I lived anywhere near Oakland, I’d be there for every stinking game. Good to see the fans are finally filling the seats. Give the Brownies Hell Raider Nation…OR the O-line, if they suck again.

Great news indeed. The new marketing tactic and cheaper seats in some areas have hopefully gone a long way to promote sell-outs.

Ya know, back here in Michigan, we got a lot of these creatures called Lions fans, and they pack Ford Field every week. It’s a tough ticket. And they see my Raider gear and say “at least you have something to look forward to.” Really. Management cares more about the product in Oakland. With Bill Ford ownership means community involvement and an additional investment, while for Al Davis football is LIFE. Mistakes and all. I’d go to every game too.
Lions fans are conditioned to disaster, but they go anyway. Good to see we match their loyalty in spite of this seemingly endless bad karma and adversity. We’ll turn this around. Circle the wagons.

TO THE RAIDERS AND THE JPA.
Let’s hope YOU have enough people to take our tickets at the stadium, so we can
see the start of the game. Please don’t make fans park across the freeway in the dirt
area for $20.00 bucks when you have almost half of the parking lot available in the main parking lot. Make sure you have enough people to collect money at the parking lot
entrance gates so we are not parked on the street for an hour just to get in the parking
lot. It was a complete disaster exspecially for new fans. Amy says everything will be
ready and it won’t happen again..(we will see) .We have a shot at filling the stadium with many many new fans so Raiders and JPA don’t screw it up this time. Run the operation like the
rest of the NFL does. We know how it suppose to be done because most of us have
been to the forty-whiner dump at candledick park and they get you in quickly, if the
Whiners can do it why can’t the Raiders and JPA. We will report Sunday night how they
handled it. Don’t F##k Up…
