How Old Were You When.......
....the ESK'S last went 7-0? It was 1971.
I was 15 yrs old, and was an ESK'S Knothole member and also worked at Clarke Stadium during the games. Glory days. |
I had just been traded over from my father to my mother.
|
I was 1. I don't recall being much of a fan at the time.
|
I was 7 ... They won't get 8 ... the Blue Bomber's are going to pound em next week !!!

I was about 23 that year but was not much of an Edmonton fan. I was at McMahon Stadium when the Esks won over Montreal in a really boring cup game in 1975. I recall bitter cold and the only thing exciting was a streaker who walked onto the field during the anthem. No one chased her and she walked off quietly with Police after the anthem.
Edmonton was hot for quite a few years around that time. |

I was 5 yrs old then, and still a member of the ESKS knothole club. Going to do a little googling now. EDIT... Weedy is correct. It was in 1961 that the ESK'S last started 6-0 then went 7-0. |

Ah the old Clark... Knothole Gang, Long Gone Thomas.....
Knothole gang tickets were 25 cents in the 50's, and as late as 2007 they were $21.40 for SEASONS TICKETS (a little over $2 for a game). I was reading that they finally closed it down that year because parents no longer let kids go to games by themselves at any price. Not like the old days where an elementary school kid would take a cross town bus to go to a game or the ex.... sad really. |
Gruduated in 71.JPCHS.Left for Hundred mile house to work at a sawmill

Esks
8 - 0 Esks? I think that anything is possible. Team is pretty resilient.
Boy of boy the memories of the Knot Hole Gang as a kid......... I remember when the CHQT firetruck would go by after a touchdown. They were pelted with what ever was handy. It was like the Clint Eastwood movie the Gauntlet. When your 12, the QT's looked pretty hot Watching the police load drunks into the paddy wagon. The so called supervisors of the gang drinking from flasks, and not caring less if you hopped the fence to go into the stands. |
In 1971, both my parents were approximately 7 years of age, so I was completely unexistant.

Apparently young enough that I didn't care.
Oh wait. I'm still young enough. |

Surprising record really, sort of sneaking out some of these victories.
Nothing spectacular or really exciting in their wins, but a win is a win I guess. Stamps coming up soon, a loss or 2 on the horizon for Esks me thinks. TBark |

I was a glimmer in my dads eye
