This year’s Labour Day game was a success both on and

off the field, whether you went to the game or not.

The Pump got the weekend started off right with their

huge Labour Day Party. Those who showed up to party to

The Pump, including Bluebomber fan’s, certainly had a

rockin’ good time.

Many Bluebomber fans, of course, came from Winnipeg to

cheer on the blue and gold. Personally, I wouldn't be

caught dead (or alive) wearing those colours. While in

Winnipeg earlier this spring, I was wearing my new

Rider coat. My girl friend, who is from Manitoba,

wanted to wear the coat and so I let her. Later that

night as we went for a walk, several people actually

flipped her the bird! Is the rivalry that bad??

Apparently it is. So when coming down Albert street in

Regina on game day, shoulder to shoulder with the many

Bomber fans walking to Taylor Field, I just had to

scream "Go Riders!" They in turn yelled "Go Bombers!",

and then an air horn went off. It’s truly a classic.

The Labour Day battle has been an annual event for as

long as I can remember and longer. What are your

favorite memories from years gone by? Is it Ridgway’s

60 yard field goal in 1988? Is it Don Narcisse’s pass

to Farthing? Share your stories with me, and I’ll put

them in my Memories of the Season and Season’s Past

Article at the end of the year.
