November 3, By Glen May It's soon going to be Grey Cup time. This is the annual clash be- tween Canada's two finest foot- ball teams who do battle for a battered chrome chalice. East finally meets West in one gigantic encounter, disproving Rudyard Kipling's theory that "Kast is East and West is. . ."', ah well, you know the rest. The sole sore point of the Grey Cup festival is the specta- tors. Many of the observers who obtain tickets aren't foot- ball fans and don't honestly give a fiddle who wins. They go so the next time they gather over a bottle of bubbly they can boast about attending the Cup game. Most of the "real" fans miss the classic and are forced to watch from a sprawled position in the living room on the idiot box. The reason they can't at- tend is simple: they didn't have the "right contacts" to obtain a ducat or two. All year long they journeyed week after week to their own stadium to cheer their local heroes of the grid- iron. But, when the biggest game of the campaign arrives, Joe Average Fan is left out of the ticket picture. The Grey Cup contest is switched from city to city across the country each year allowing the faithful followers of the sport the opportunity of seeing the "big one" in person. The plan is excellent, but the result is failure. Following is a typical scene of what it would be like if you were fortunate enough to have a ticket for the Grey Cup game at Vancouver's Empire Stadium this year. You're sitting about 30 rows up on the west side of the field below the press box and directly behind the bench used by the British Columbia Lions during season play. At the opening kickoff two couples stagger into their seats in front of you blocking your vision for the next few seconds. Drunks and dumb blondes ""Wasn't that baton <wirler a Page 1] SPORTS BEAT Finally they are seated and you are astonished to see the ball being placed at the kicking team's 30-yard line. You muse: "Must have been some run?" A few plays later a long pass | is thrown and one of the wom. | en in front of you turns around requesting a match. As play | continues the foursome loudly discuss the past week's social activities and the party ee after the game. A halfback breaks into the clear pursued by two defensive | players. Your vision is again | impaired when one of the char- | acters sitting in front turns and jams a flask in your face slur- | ring: "How about a drink pal?" You notice the couple sitting | on your left. The guy's fallen asleep leaving his cute blonde companion on her own. Finally she blurts: "Excuse me, but I don't understand this game. I wonder if you could explain what's going on?" } Just before halftime two | nattily dressed types behind» you become involved in a stock market argument, and during | the shouting a hotdog is de- , posited, mustard, relish and all, down your sleeve. This malarky continues until | near the end of the game, | which by the way is tied, when suddenly a quick kick in the fi- nal 30 seconds results in a win- ning point. The guy with the blonde wakes up and grabs you by the neck demanding, "Who won?" With a sick smile you catch your breath and tell him, then scramble quickly out of your seat to avoid being crushed by the heavy drunk who's tum- bling down from Row 33. Eventually you make it to the exit and overhear one of the chaps from the group who were sitting in front of you say: real knockout?" a ae
