Released on November 10, 1997
Saskatchewan's Premier, Roy Romanow, says the Toronto Argonauts will
quickly learn what it means to be lonely when they take on Canada's
best loved football team, the green and white Riders in next Sunday's
Grey Cup Championship in Edmonton.
Besides predicting a Roughrider win, the premier said the vast
majority of the more than 50 thousand fans in Commonwealth Stadium
will be cheering for Reggie Slack and the jolly green giants.
"With fans right across this vast country our Riders are truly
Canada's team," Romanow said.
The premier said all the people in Saskatchewan congratulate the Rider
players and coaches and the entire organization for a story book
ending to the 1997 CFL season.
"It's a great reward to the wonderful fans of this province who filled
Taylor Field game after game in what was a season of Roughrider ups
and downs. Whether pulling off a last minute win in regular season
play or providing heart stopping thrills in the playoffs the
Saskatchewan Roughriders have made 1997 a season to remember.
Go Riders Go!"
