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
http://twitter.com/hellamoet/status/19947025130852353

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
http://twitter.com/Dr_Grinch/status/19961666401734656

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.
