All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host. Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/forum/feedback-forums/billszone-q-a/6521455-upgrade-report-bugs-here

What Will Happen To BillsZone?

12-12-2006, 06:07 AM

In todays Buffalo News, for the second time we have heard Ralph Wilson allude to his having no choice but to move the team from Buffalo due to the higher revenue teams pushing the team out. What's going to happen to this site if the team moves? Maybe this is true for many, but I can't really say if I will stay or go...I just know I will be sad.

Re: What Will Happen To BillsZone?

Why can't Wilson just sell the ****ing team? Several investors have stepped forward willing to stick it out and make this the franchise it so deserves to be, yet he continues his ******ed "Im going to take my ball and go home" financial tactics.

If Ralph Wilson truly had any concern or passion for the Buffalo Bills, its fans, and the city of Buffalo, he'd sell this franchise to someone that can and will get it done. Someone that can keep the team in Buffalo. Someone that is more concerned with winning and less concerned with verbally masterbating all over the media a focus of concerns that tend to be easily correctable.

I'm getting really tired of his bull****.

He's simply lobbying the state for more money... we've all thought he was crazy in the passed, but to be honest... I think he is one step ahead all of us!

Re: What Will Happen To BillsZone?

I tell ya, I was very concerned and very against the sale of the Bills in the past, but Tom Golsiano (sp?) has changed all of that for me.

Selling the Bills, keeping them in Buffalo and making them a better contending team can be done.

Ralph needs to let it all go and step into the light.

Ralph, if your tight ass can't afford to keep paying the salaries for this team, please sell it immediately. We need to keep it in Buffalo and can't afford to wait until you die.

I agree. I dont' think the Bills move, I think he is posturing for state help for a new stadium.

I think you are right. He knows that we need a new stadium and was pissed when he saw that the league is giving $300 million to the ****ing rich teams in New Jersey that are in a big market. So he knows that he will need money from the government to build a new stadium before it's too late.

If that happens, I'm outta here.

I didn't come here to fight, I hate fighting. Life is way too short to spend it on fighting! Go fight with yourself, one of you will eventually win!

I think both of you are right, but I'm adamently opposed to using gov't funds to retain a football franchise. The state of New York has it's own issues to deal with. Dropping money on losing franchise should not be in their best interest.

This goes for all sports teams. Why do we continue to pay for tickets, jerseys, paraphanlia etc.... and still fork over taxes to build new stadiums and correct financial woes of fialing teams? Its ludicrous, yet every state one time or another agrees to it.

To be honest, I'd rather see the Bills move away if Ralph wants to be so stingy and demanding. How is this any different then a grubby ass freeloader milking the welfare system? I mean sure it has it differences, but the principle and basic disgusting, conscience eluding ideas are the same.

I hate it.
