The Grey Cup

Ok, this isn't the kind of football you are used to, but this weekend, the 27th to be exact, the Saskatchewan Roughriders will face off against the Montreal Alouettes for the Grey Cup, awarded to the best team in the CFL (Canadian Football League) ... I only brought this up because I'm a big Riders' fan, and have supported the Green and White since 1967. The Al's are favoured, but the Riders who lost a heartbreaker last year, are, like Stanley, the little team that could ... The Province of Saskatchewan is about two-and-half times bigger than England with a population of fewer than one million ... the Riders are the pride of the Province, and rabid fans travel hours to attend a game at Taylor Field, often in sub zero temperatures ... so, even thought I will probably be the only AccyWebber watching the game, I had to mention it: "Any teams, any topic -so long as it's football." Go Riders
