JohnBonhamRocks Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I would like to say that I would completely boycott, but then again the lure of seeing the last games in town possibly ever might be too much and make me go against principle... Actually, no. Screw that league if they ever allow someone to take my team away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyToughII Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I'm just glad Bills fans don't have to worry about this anymore. I feel sorry for any loyal fan that has to watch their team get moved to another location. Are you sure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talley56 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 So they are packing up and leaving Oakland for the Sun and Fun and Money in Vegas. But ...... not for 2 or possibly 3 years. Would you support the Bills in a lame duck situation such as this? I would say screw you NFL and never watch again. BTW I just heard Mark Silver just say no fan base has ever been screwed twice,has he got that short a memory? St Louis lost the Cardinals and the Rams. Also, a lot of people forget the Rams originated in Cleveland. So the Rams and the old Browns (now Ravens) both left Cleveland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Linen Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 As a fan I would be very insulted if the team I was supporting chose to move to another city, but until that move actually happened, they still send me notices to re-new my season tickets. Raiders fans are funny. They still continued to support the Raiders even when they moved to Los Angeles. Then they welcomed them back with open arms when they returned to Oakland. It was as if the move never happened. Then Al Davis continued to screw over the fan base with Personal Seat Licenses. This could be the last straw for Raiders fans in Oakland, but I don't know. They seem to remain loyal, no matter how much they get screwed over. I couldn't imagine going through this and to make it worse going through it after you finally found a franchise QB.

PRBills Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 If the City and State do not support money for a new stadium in a few years it could very well be a reality. How is that? Are they going to FORCE the Pegulas to SELL??? You do know that a single owner can not own franchises in different locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zonabb Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Said earlier in a thread that I'll turn in my seasons when the Pegula$ ask for my money (socialized debt, privatized profit) to help them build a stadium so I would clearly run, not walk away from them if they decided to move. The idea of spending one cent on the Bills knowing they were moving would be asinine. See the difference between the Bills asking getting a handout and SolarCity is, I don't do business with SolarCity nor can I realistically move from this region that hands the money out. And if I could or did, it'd be to another place that does the same. But I can stop supporting people who makes billions and the government hands my money to.

TaskerTough Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 The Bills will leave Buffalo. The only chance we have is to un-ban the fan owned model. I've written this a million times in a million threads. The Green Bay Model or Toronto is the best relocation we can hope for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMF2006 Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 2017 How is that? Are they going to FORCE the Pegulas to SELL??? You do know that a single owner can not own franchises in different locations. Why would they need to sell? You don't need to sell to relocate. I am just speculating that if the NFL billionaires club doesn't get their way and get a publicly funded stadium in Buffalo the Pegs could pull the plug.

racketmaster Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I don't like to see any teams move and feel for the fans of Oakland. It will be a mess the next 2 years until they find a home. From a football view, this likely will be a negative impact on the Raiders performance on the field. It was tough for the Browns, Oilers and Rams as a team no longer has a true home field advantage.

The Green Bay Model or Toronto is the best relocation we can hope for! And you've been wrong a million times, I guess. The only chance we have is a local multi-billionaire buying the team to go with his locally owned hockey team who really doesn't care how much money he spends on the team or the facilities because, you know, drill more wells or something. Oh, yeah, that already happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Frankish Reich Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I'm in Arizona now ... just met up with some friends at the hotel where the NFL meetings are going on. About a half dozen of Raider Nation's finest are outside the hotel "picketing." My buddy: "and that right there is why they want to leave Oakland."

Direhard Fan Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I could not believe our Bill's would ever move. I was so happy when the team was purchased by our Pegs and I actually had tears in my eyes. 71 and crying. I could never support a team that relocated. Pure greed. That is what our country is becoming. How much more money can these owners want? Oakland was my Old AFL west coast team after our Bill's. A pure shame. Very sad!

LEBills Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 If the City and State do not support money for a new stadium in a few years it could very well be a reality. That's right. Pegula has voted in favor of all the recent relocations. It's only a matter of time that the NFL will come demanding a very publicly funded stadium in Buffalo like they got in Las Vegas. Maybe Terry will put up his own money, but I'll be surprised. Then the question is, do you want your taxes spent on a new stadium? I feel bad for the fans but respect the cities that have said no. Sports are great, but hardly essential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah...and one day the sun is going to engulf the Earth so every city will lose their team I guess. Maybe it's better to just focus on the next 20, 30, 40 years, don't you think?
