firstngoal Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 The epitomy of cheapness - Bills owner Ralph E. Wilson It's pretty sad when a local restaurant owner has to come to the rescue to ensure Bills fans that they will be able to see the Bills game on the tube on Sunday. Shame on you Ralph E. Wilson for not giving back to the fans that have loaded your pockets over the years. You have now earned the letter "E" as your middle initial. The "E" of course stands for Ebenizer.

jumbalaya Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 firstngoal, did you buck up for an extra ticket or two? People like you always look for others to do the heavy lifting and then criticize them for it. I believe the word for you is ingrate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did just donate $1 Million to Kaleida Health for their adult day care program. But you're right, he owes something to you... http://orchardpark.wgrz.com/content/ralph-c-wilson-jr-donates-1-million-kaleida-health "The funding will be used to subsidize the cost of attendance and transportation to the adult day care program. It will also provide funding for programmatic activities and much needed capital purchases such as equipment and supplies. Kaleida Health operates two adult day care centers, in Amherst and North Tonawanda. The Wilson’s donation will also assist Kaleida Health’s home care program, the Visiting Nursing Association. The donation will support the patient and caregiver in their home in a variety of ways including the purchasing of “mediplanners,” or medication management tools, personal emergency response systems, telehealth monitoring services, plus home safety and falls risk education and programming." <edited for content> beerball Edited December 24, 2010 by Beerball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's a poor reflection at all. Just means that people aren't interested in the team to sell out a the home finale. I would bet Christmas has something to do with it, but come on, they're 4-10, have no marketable stars, and are about to go without a playoff appearance for 11 consecutive seasons. This is more a case of apathy than anything else. Had Mr. Salvatore not purchased the tickets, this would have been the 4th blackout of the season out of 7 true home games. The fans are tired and disinterested because what they see on the field is mediocre. As for the OP, RW is a businessman and he does not need to pay for those tickets, even though the team can buy them back for 34 cents on the dollar. No one should call RW a scrooge or evil for not ponying up all that money to buy those tickets and produce a televised game. OTOH, he must make this team better with financial support or risk losing more ST holders in 2011, provided there's a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not saying that this did happen or that it did not happen but it would be a bad precedent for an owner to bail out the ticket sales all the time. Anyone could have bought a ticket on line or through organizations for 20 bucks this past week. Maybe a group sales person makes a call an offfers a local businessman tickets for half or 1/4 that price to buy them all. so 7000 tickets for 5 dollars each is 35k. Maybe the business man offers 25k for the deal and gets great publicity as a result. Not saying that happened just saying it could happen. The result is the game is on TV= big bucks for the team and league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About four or five days later I got a call from Lamar, and he said, Ralph, we need an eighth franchise to balance out this new league. One from the east and one from the west. And I'll give you your choice of five different cities where you can place your franchise. And I picked Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meathead Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 gotta love the moronic 'ralph is cheap fans'. its amazing they learned how to brush their teeth yeah ralph is cheap. he owns a franchise in one of the most elite leagues in the world. he could take that team to fifty other cities who would throw money and stadiums and all the white women he could eat at him and what does he do? he doggedly keeps the team in buffalo what a selfish jerk ralph is he keeps ticket prices at the lowest level in the league. he has luxury boxes priced more cheaply that anywhere else. parking, concessions, happy ending massages by asian women, all cheaper than anywhere else just to accommodate the local fans man what a total son of a B word and now you want him to just buy up all the remaining tickets every game. yeah, the tickets that are the cheapest in the nfl, just buy them all up so that we dont have to. and if he does that all the time we wont ever buy tickets, so why not just buy them all every week and give them out for free because hes a cheap bastard thats why lololololol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester43 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 on the other hand, we're zillions of dollars under the cap with some of the worst talent in the nfl. and we've let how many good guys walk in the past 10 years because ralph didn't want to pay the going rate? and i won't even bother bitching about the way he handles front office and coaching hires since everyone seems to think buddy and chan are the sons of god right now, but it's safe to assume it wasn't an accident we ended up with 2 guys no one else wanted. yes he IS cheap when it comes to building a winner. thank goodness he's a charitable soul outside football. and no he shouldn't have to buy his own tickets.

Do you think the fans of the Bills who play in the third poorest city in the country would be able to attend games if Jerry Jones ran this show?

Thoner7 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Wilson gets a bad rep - which is somewhat deserved - because he lets players like Jabri Greer walk over 1 million dollars over 5 years, which is a very small amount in NFL terms.
