The Rams haven't played in LA for 15 years, but, Bernie M. writes a article saying the St. Louis Ramfan are more loyal than the LA Ramfan.
Bernie M. isn't some troll on his blog. He is one of the important voices for St. Louis sports.
What that article says to me is Bernie
Truly believes that the Rams might move back to LA.
His envy for LA showed when he wrote that a LA Times writer sat in the Rams owner suite for a ram game.
And He has a big problem with the Ram owners living in So Cal and not St. Louis.
Bernie should visit Newport Beach then he would understand.
By the way his article is fiction.
Saying the Rams always sold out in St. Louis.
Yeah it was in the contract the rams would have guarantee sellouts to get them to move to st. louis.
Always sold out. Untrue.
Here are two of many games.
RAM-ATLANTA GAME IN 1998 The game drew a crowd of 47,971, the lowest since the Rams moved to St. Louis in 1995.
The team purchased the remaining tickets to their final three home games to assure their streak of all sellouts would not end.
There were nearly 17,000 no-shows as the Rams lost for the 11th time in 12 games at the Trans World Dome.
(1 OUT OF 3 empty seats)
RAM-PATRIOTS GAME IN 1998 The Rams won for only the second time in 12 games in the Trans World Dome.
Officially, the game was the team's 34th consecutive sellout since moving from Anaheim, Calif., in 1995, but the 64,000-capacity stadium was at least one-third empty
That is just two of many.
HERE IS WHERE BERNIE MISSED THE BOAT
Check out the cardinals last five seasons in St. LOUIS and the last 5 seasons of the Rams in LA for attendance.
In 1983 the Cards went 8-7-1 winning their 5 out of 6 games.
The 84 Cards were in the playoff race to the very last game.
The last season the Cards will be in St. Louis Knowing of the move to Arizone the following year. Plus the hatred of Bill Bidwell the cards drew less than 28,000 a game.
LETS TAKE A LOOK AT THE LAST FIVE YEARS OF THE RAMS IN LA
The Rams only won 5 games in 1990 and almost 60,000 Ram fans were there.
The Rams averaged LESS than 4 wins a year in those last 4 seasons.
The last season the Rams will be in LA knowing of the move to St. Louis the following year. Plus the hatred of Georgia F. the Rams drew over 42,000 a game.
I would of never made this post if Bernie didn't write that article that is untrue.
The facts speak for themselves
Hell even the St. Louis Dispatch Jim Thomas said what I have said for years.
Call him a liar.
Every thing that is on this page is FACT. Not my opinion, but, Fact.
Back up with the documents.
St. Louis is a great sports town for Baseball yes.
ANOTHER UPDATE
Ray Starkey who is the Niners radio anouncer said"THIS IS THE SMALLEST CROWD I EVER SEEN FOR THE RAMS. EVEN THEIR LAST YEAR IN LA WAS NOT AS BAD."
HOW ABOUT WARNER AND CARDS
Warner was slammed by the st. louis fans when he left and they slammed bidwell cards (even though they grew up with them) and they are in the SB.

I keep hearing how the St. Louis Cardinals always sold out.
In 1975 the St. Louis Cardinals were the most exciting team in the NFL.
After 10 games they were 8-2 and in first place of the eastern division.
Check the attendance of the 11th game vs the Bills.
Only 41,000 showed up, that is the lowest attendance of the 1974 and 75 season.
And it was your greatest year.
You won the division.
It was Air Coryell and almost 28% empty chairs.
So when I hear "The St. Louis fans always supported bidwell Cardinals" it is just Bullshit talk.
By the way, check out the 1974 last game of the regular season when the Bills played the Rams in LA.
Not a bad attendance, it was the HIGHEST of the 74 and 75 seasons.
WHY WE WON SUPER BOWL 34
Did you read the two articles on the last two home games of the 1998 season?
1/3 rd empty seats is what John Shaw saw.
And it scared the living shit out of him.
It didn't take a genius to figure out if 18,000 fans WHO HAD TICKETS PAID FOR could care less about going to the game, what would be the number when the guaranteed sell-outs run out (to get them to move to st. louis) and they had to get their wallet out the week of the game for a team that sucked gas.
We were lucky as hell to obtain Faulk.
The Patriots were offering the Colts double of our offer for him.
But, they weren't going to trade him to a division rival. So we got him for half of what the Pats offered.
Then we signed Trent Green who was standing on that spot to injure himself for the whole season and the Godsend comes in named Kurt Warner.
Facts.
THE COLD HARD FACT
If the LA Ramfan grew up the same way but in the city of St. Louis, we wouldn't be posting on the St. Louis Ram message board.
We be posting on the Arizona Cardinal message board.
The LA Ramfan never changed teams .
THAT'S A FACT.
Thank God for Google newspaper archive. Without it I would of never known how immature the sportswriters of st. louis were when the Rams were moving to their city.
Telling the LA Ramfans to GET OVER IT!!!
Stating that the LA Ramfan didn't support the Rams. And how much better the st. louis fans are when it comes to loyalty.
Loyalty? We are still Ramfans we never changed teams like these loyal st. louis fans did.
Telling us to stop the slander of georgia by us laramfans. But when it comes to bidwell he is a sob.
FACT
Did you St. Louis Ramfans look at the Monday Night game against the Bears?
The Announcers said they thought they were in Chicago with all the bear fans.
Just the FACTS
The Rams just went 0-6.
Here's is what jim thomas said
"Jim Thomas: I do wonder if management senses the restlessness among Rams fans. And if we're really about to witness a 1-15 or 2-14, what will management do if 10,000 fans decide not to renew their PSLs? For starters, here's my proposal: John Shaw and team ownership should make this pledge to Rams fans: No moret ticket price increases until the team has another winning season.
JIM THOMAS JUST WROTE WHAT I HAVE SAID FOR MANY YEARS
THAT IS A FACT
CHECK OUT THE GUEST BOOK
IF YOU CAN FIND ONE THING THAT IS FALSE. SAY IT IN THE GUESTBOOK.
UPDATE!!!!
So the Rams are for sale and the St. Louis fans are worried they might leave and move back to LA.
UPDATE
ATTENDANCE FOR THE HOUSTON GAME
I know the Rams are 1-12
But to those who stated the St. Louis ALWAYS had sellouts even when the Cardinals were in St. Louis.
UPDATE!!!!
Some troll on facebook started a group called THE DEMISE OF THE BRING THE RAMS HOME. I LOVE IT!!!!
Because it shows they are hearing VOICES
SO LOYAL MY ASS
St. Louis Ramfans are not like me and other LA Ramfans.
When the LA Ramfans care about something.
Whatever it is.
It could be the person you love, your parents or even a sports team
You want to know everything, the history
We know the history about our Rams from the cleveland days to the last game played
this season in st. louis.
The St. Louis Ramfan could care less about the rams when they were in LA
And the lack of knowledge of their history is shown.
They never talk about the great teams, players and owners of the past.
They just major in BITCH-LIPPEN about the LA Ramfans
And I wanted to prove that I am right about these guys
All they had to do was answer three softball questions about the Rams when they were in LA.
3 simple questions
There won't be a time limit
They can look them up on google
And they even have their idol Bernie M for the answers
And what it tells me they are more st. louis fans than Ramfans
here are the three 1st grade questions
What Youngblood was drafted first by the Rams?
What Ram QB wore the number 11 first?
Was it Jim Everett, Pat Haden or James Harris
Since the first Super Bowl was played how many times has the Rams shutout the Cowboys in postseason?
Talk about softball.
I truly believe that the LA Ramfan knows more about the St. Louis Cardinals than they do.
