65:/35 49er Fans Sunday

[STL Woody]

Bottom post of the previous page:

Toast you know I’m a big fan of your typically rock solid on point posts as far as this issue goes, I agree with the reality that We don’t have a big dedicated Fanbase I think the original poster was asking why the f***ck not?

I remember watching playoff games in Jacksonville and Charlotte a few years after these teams were expansion teams they had a hometown fan base,

They didn’t have an iconic history dating back to the 40s with dozens of Hall of Famer’s they didn’t have the second most populous city in the United States they didn’t have a Super Bowl championship
Decades of dominance

4 years after the Rams relocated a Super Bowl bound GSOT was all blue and gold at the EJD, making 3rd down impossible.

I get It the Rams left LA for 20 years, I didn’t complain in 2018 when we went to the Super Bowl and still had a 50-50 fan split in the coliseum
for most of our games.

But at what point do we stop making excuses for the LA fans

Over the last five years the Rams are one of the top three teams in the NFL

There’s no question that they made more of an effort to win now than any other team in the league

They have stars all over the place

They have the most modern, best stadium in the NFL

They have a huge population with plenty of disposable income

Buying a season ticket package is not cheap I can’t imagine that 65,000 people are down to the last couple of hundred bucks so that this is such a financial windfall for them to scalp yo Niner fans

I live in New York I took my son to one game this Season at great expense, flights, hotel, dinners, tickets, Ubers

Enough already LA show the fukkkkkk up

Excellent post!!!! 100% Spot on.

I have been quiet about this issue because I know I am still a bit hurt from the move. My intent with this post is to give as objective of a take as I possibly can. I understand money enough to understand that it was a great business move, and that the Dome in STL wasn’t up to lease agreement, and that this team belonged to LA first. All facts, but we were loyal to this team. And showed up for this team. My family had season tickets from 1997 until the day they left for LA. Yes even during the really really bad years we were there.

A lot of LA people take unnecessary shots at STL every chance they get ( which baffles me. I mean you got the team bro. Why kick the guy/city when you won the girl). But LA needs to be held accountable for this embarrassment to our entire fan base. If this team was in STL there’s NO way this would happen. And we know they aren’t coming back yet still a fact.

Go to YouTube and re-watch the STL home playoff games. I just did last week, and brought back great memories of losing my voice in that Dome That place was crazy with blue and gold and screaming fans. And you better believe the Cardinals (11championships) and blues ran our town. Had nothing to do with the support of the Rams. So I don’t buy the Lakers Dodgers argument. That’s weak. Fact is if the Rams aren’t getting the support from LA now they never will.

Blues don’t run ST LOUIS … CARDS do … and you can’t really compare city like St. Louis to LA …. Never been to St. Louis but I have friends who said it’s filled with right wing football loving racists …even cards fans are kinda F up …

[Davis57]

We have way more LA KINGS fans in LA than RAMS fans …

Well I’ve lived here for 30 of my 41 years of life and held season tickets to Rams and Cards even while living in DC, so I think I’m a bit more qualified to speak on my city then you are but you’re entitled to your opinion. And yes the The Cards AND Blues run our town and did when the Rams arrived. Lol what does political affiliation have to do with anything? And be clear there is NO comparison LA>STL. That’s not the point here. We are talking about Fan support STL>LA fan support.

Political stereotyping, YAYYY.

Not like we could call L.A. folks a bunch of left wing nuts or anything...

Not racist it’s just our demographic… there are way more minorities in CA than st Louis … yes football is GOP s favorite sport …

[NorCal RF]

Won what ??? I don’t see a Sb trophy next to our NBA/NHL / MLB titles ! But ok

unfortunately I agree. This is definitely a Lakers and Dodgers town. It is going to take some time and WINNING A SB to get loyal fans into SoFi. Niner Nation is large and very loyal due to their success. Ram fans are going to have to realize this weekend is going to be a sea of Red and the only way to shut their asses up is get an early lead and take them out of the game.

We agree a lot oc but not here. If 60-29, one of best HC’s in the league, and a organization that does whatever it takes to win see Stafford, Miller, Ramsey OBJ, etc, isn’t enough to get the fans to support this team then winning a SB isn’t either…………

All winning a SB is going to do is create the excuse “well they won one and then raised ticket prices so this is why no one is going”……………

It’s a damn poor declaration by the LA sports fan. Damn poor…………..

[NorCal RF]

7 threads later... nothing has changed. Not going to anytime soon.

Is this really what we are discussing 2 days before game day for the NFCC?

Goodness. Just win the damn game. Forget the crowd. Nothing can be done about it right now.

Good grief guys

I’m sure our players and HC love that sentiment…………….

Of course Cali is 403,882sq. And Missouri is 178,414. It’s not even close so of course you have more minorities you also have more stop lights what’s the point?

Dodgers have won 6 titles in LA …I am sorry but your comparison is not accurate

Oh. So a 30 year drought is "ok" then to the exquisite L.A. fan? Such nuance and intelligence the Los Angeles fan exhibits. The Rams won (in L.A.) in '51. So 70 years is too long a drought, 30 years is not. Got it. We'll FIND that magic number yet. Seriously, PBS should do a Documentary of the Los Angeles sports fan, the most intelligent and cunning and selective in the entire United States.

30 year drought LMAO Mike…………..

But hey there is no comparison because well they have won 6 championships……..

It’s amazing how a few of us can see right through their BS……………..

[NorCal RF]

I'm not buying the 65/35 Niner split BS.

Playoffs are different than Regular Season.

We played America's Team the Dallas freakin Cowboys in 2018 Playoffs and had a 70/30 EDGE.

Ram Fams will outnumber Niner fans easily Sunday.

I don’t think that’s going to be the case Mike………..

[Davis57]

Dodgers have won 6 titles in LA …I am sorry but your comparison is not accurate

Not only that, the Dodgers and Lakers are legacy franchises. Sure the Lakers are terrible right now, but they've won 11 titles in 4 decades with a galaxy of popular super stars in their sport. All those Laker fans you see on road games aren't so cal transplants.

Dodgers are a legacy franchise as well with a rich deep history.

Yes, we love our Rams, but please, you cannot compare these franchises. The Niner fan base was augmented by 5 super bowl titles in their heyday too. There's a reason there's a ton of Niner fans everywhere.

Preach my friend preach …I grew up loving Joe Montana and Jerry rice …howie Long . I don’t know anyone on the RAMS that I liked … I don’t care much for Kurt Warner ..sooo that’s that .

I absolutely hated that St. Louis got the Rams. They did not IMO deserve to get the Rams. The Rams came back home in 2016 where they belonged. That being said…………

The St. Louis fan base flat out 100% supported the Rams like no other fan base supported their home team in the league. And this is yes after they had already lost a NFL team. They didn’t use that as an excuse to not 100% support the Rams…………

I always respected and appreciated from a far how St. Louis supported our Rams. No damn excuses with them……………

[NorCal RF]

If this is true, why exactly were the Rams moved to Los Angeles again???

Uh, they moved to LA for a real estate business decision. You think fandom strength crossed Kroenke's mind once?

Also it was a brilliant business decision. Great venue, Super Bowls, College football playoffs, Olympics. Plus franchise valuation sky rocketed. The investment will pay for itself in spades even if 100% of the fans were for the opposing team.

AND SoCal fans said they wanted them back and would support them………….

[NorCal RF]

People get worked up about this topic way too much. And it has way less impact on the game then people think. How did all the home team advantage teams fare last weekend?

78 I really can’t believe you are saying this…………….

You are too knowledgeable to not know being at home in the playoffs is the preference not on the road………….

Then why were all of you getting so damn worked up about not wanting to play in GB……………..

Save the reasons/excuses……………..

[NorCal RF]

Niner fans also took over Anaheim stadium back in the day, you just forget. One of the biggest fan bases in the sport with a trophy case filled with Lombardis.

Let's not have revisionist history about this.

And your point…………

2 wrongs don’t make it all of a sudden ok…………

Or a reason/excuse for now……………..

[NorCal RF]

Blues don’t run ST LOUIS … CARDS do … and you can’t really compare city like St. Louis to LA …. Never been to St. Louis but I have friends who said it’s filled with right wing football loving racists …even cards fans are kinda F up …

And there you go. Pulling the non football BS that belongs in Off Topic or not anywhere in here…………….

Right there with his comments about Brady and his kids……..

No tolerance for such BS sorry…………….

Not this week…………

Time to show one the door…………

We agree a lot oc but not here. If 60-29, one of best HC’s in the league, and a organization that does whatever it takes to win see Stafford, Miller, Ramsey OBJ, etc, isn’t enough to get the fans to support this team then winning a SB isn’t either…………

All winning a SB is going to do is create the excuse “well they won one and then raised ticket prices so this is why no one is going”……………

It’s a damn poor declaration by the LA sports fan. Damn poor…………..

You are wrong …. Rams win a SB , people will pay any price for tix … this is LA , rich people will pay to go see winners … when Lakers were terrible their cheapest crappiest seats were 200 bucks

[Davis57]

GO RAMS hope they win this weekend… but whom am I supposed to root for ( growing up ) when my team packs up and leaves for ST LOUIS ?

I’ll let others answer that…………..

I guess you were just fine with Norton, a goal post, and a comment………….

Let alone the 89 NFC Championship Game……………..

[harley01]

They have won. 5 straight years……….

Give us more excuses……….

Won what ??? I don’t see a Sb trophy next to our NBA/NHL / MLB titles ! But ok

What a sad f****in excuse you are as a fan!

I mean you keep calling me a troll when I say RAMS must win for all this to go away …. Somehow you feel like SO CAL MUST embrace the RAMS back when they pick up and leave anytime they feel like it

[Davis57]

What a sad f****in excuse you are as a fan!

Fan of what ??? I don’t have any memories of the RAMS , maybe they can provide us with some winning memories… you are attacking me for stating the obvious that Raiders and Niners have a huge fan base

Don’t shoot the messenger!.

[Davis57]

The fact that all those yrs RAMS were here and never even were relevant but as soon they go to St. Louis they win the sb , is funny ..

[Davis57]

LA got the mediocre Rams While ST Lou gets a sb champ !

[Davis57]

Tustin...where ARE you....?

BTW , Rams were ANAHEIMs team ( sharing the stadium with Angels) while RAIDERS were the real LA team …

These are all facts , you just don’t wanna admit it

I agree but it is what it is. SoFi prices are absurd IMO and that is why I don't go to the games. I am a huge Rams fan but not going to be $500 min to go watch a football game.

[Commish]

Not racist it’s just our demographic… there are way more minorities in CA than st Louis … yes football is GOP s favorite sport …

Why can't you post this partisan political blathering in the "Off-Topic" section, which is precisely what it's there for...?? :( :cry: :x

ram pathos...

I’m right here sitting on my patio I am watching this thread and am asking everyone to just calm down and play nice.

Upland has given me a quota of just one ban per week and I already used it (ok, I’m kidding…..sorta)

Yea , I am not paying 1000 of dollars for a sporting event during covid packing people into a stadium… I cover my rent and watch it on tv ..
