Raise the Hammer

Early Twitter chatter...

Serious questions about Hamilton Ti-Cats moving to Burlington - including $30m shortfall for stadium. Not a done deal. http://t.co/c3Ku4Hc

@MariannMeedWard no more taxpayers money used, if it is a good investment guys with money will build it and run it.

So @RickCravenWard1 and @RickGoldring are showing interest in bringing the ticats to Aldershot?? Worst idea ever.

@hellamoet @RickCravenWard1 @RickGoldring agreed. Aldershot doesn't have the infrastructure capacity to support a stadium. Terrible idea.

@hellamoet @RickCravenWard1 @RickGoldring as a reference point, how has Ivor Wynne helped property values in the immediate area around it?

@hellamoet @RickCravenWard1 @RickGoldring I would love to see traffic and environmental impact surveys. Noise pollution? Wildlife?

Dear Hamilton, take your stadium & team and kindly f**k off. Sincerely, Burlington. #TiCats #CFL #PanAmGames

Do you not think some community discussion is required on this Ticat/Pan Am invitation into our neighborhood? @RickCravenWard1 @RickGoldring

So new mayor @RickGoldring, we in Aldershot would love to know why you're volunteering our community to host the #Ticats sans consultation.

@hellamoet Don't forgot the "Financial Contribution" Burlington would have to make. Burlington; worst allocation of govn't funds in memory

Why would Burlington need a 9,000 seat hockey arena? Who's gonna play there? In the music biz Burlington is like an F market.

The idea of the Tiger Cats moving to Aldershot is just an "idea" at this point. We are a long way away from any decisions. City to study it.
http://twitter.com/RickCravenWard1/status/19825446078119936

@RickCravenWard1 Why is this being considered? How would this "idea" benefit? I've lived through game day congestion. Not fun.

@RickCravenWard1 Please ensure there is public consultation on the stadium discussion. Don't let this just be something that happens.
http://twitter.com/megan_m/status/19952238818496512

@RickCravenWard1 @hellamoet We, as residents of Ward 1, hope the decision is more than just financial. Ward 1 has character worth keeping.

Burlington's history of construction projects gives me lots of hope for this #Ticats deal. We need 1/2 a stadium to match our 1/3 pier.
http://twitter.com/Dr_Grinch/status/19959750795988993

@Dr_Grinch I think we could fit the size of football stadium we could afford onto the 1/3 of pier.
http://twitter.com/SeanPalmer905/status/19960338078244864

@SeanPalmer905 You're right! And then the whole thing would collapse under the weight of it's own suck. This whole deal reeks like kickbacks

TiCats are deaf, no sense in pointing out the obvious to them. RT @DavidC83: Aldershot neighbours will NEVER (cont) http://tl.gd/7p8lkc
http://twitter.com/Taiter86/statuses/19868474767581184

My take on the Aldershot site? STILL STUPID! Bob Young wants parking revenue & couldn't care less about regionalism. #cfl #TiCats #HamONT

Laughable analysis in so many ways. RT TSN's Suitor blasts #HamOnt council for mishandling #PanAm stadium http://bit.ly/hX9QRp #Ticats #CFL

And Rick Goldring's most recent pro football musing?

Going to the Bills/Pats game today with my daughter Lisa and her friend James. The line at the Peace Bridge goes all the way to Fort Erie.
