Fellow Lions fan Keith Whittier reserved seats for Sundays Grey Cup last year, and will head from Ottawa to Toronto to take part in various festivities leading up to the championship final. Upon his arrival in Hogtown, Whittier said he plans to pick up the program outlining the various fetes being held in the city by league teams and their supporters. From the Spirit of Edmonton breakfast to the Touchdown Manitoba social, the Argos Double Blue Bash to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats TigerTown Wreckers Ball, the calendar will be stacked with team parties and galas leading up to the Grey Cup, along with a roster of exhibitions and other events. "Weve gotten to the point now where we have friends who come from all over from all the different cities, and we all always seem to meet up in whatever city the Grey Cup is being hosted and we prretty much go from party to party," said Whittier, who will be attending his fifth league championship final. coach outlet online. "One of the things I really like about the CFL and especially the fanbase is everyone is loyal to their own team; but everyone, for the most part, plays really well in the sandbox." Whittier said one of the great aspects of team socials is the accessibility to players and coaching staff who attend, adding that he bumps into Lions general manager and former head coach Wally Buono each year at a party. "Heres a guy whos broken all these coaching records and is a surefire Hall of Famer who remembers me by face and says, `Hey, how are things? and is very sociable," Whittier said of Buono. "Thats one of the things I like about the league. Because theres not all these multi-million-dollar contracts, you also dont have a lot of ego, so theres a lot of approachability. "You see these guys playing out on the field and theyre phenomenal at what they do, and then you walk up to them and its just the simplest conversation you could ever have," he added. "That coupled with seeing the friends that Ive acquired over the years, seeing them year after year at those parties... those are the memories. To me, those are the things that are the most special." The Montreal Alouettes may have missed a shot at a Grey Cup berth, but team supporter Claude Martel is still hoping to bring his customary pre-game celebration to Toronto - not to mention a cooler filled with sausages, patties and fine cuts of meat. The computer programmer and father of two is hoping to try to find a spot near the Rogers Centre on Sunday to organize a tailgate, not unlike the gatherings he helped stage prior to Alouette home games. This year, the 50-year-old also travelled to Hamilton and Winnipeg to support the team. Sunday will mark the fourth time Martel will attend the league final, and he has his sights set on heading to Regina for next years championship contest. Regardless of which team they support, Martel said theres a sense of camaraderie among all the leagues fans during the Grey Cup, pointing as an example to the contingent of Calgary fans who travel and organize free breakfasts. "Its a big brotherhood. Theres no rivalry here," he said. "Its all CFL fans." ' ' '
