B—The Daily Collegian Thursday, Jan. 6, 1983 Sports fans I had been tailgating one hot sau sage sandwich too long. It was 12:55 p.m. and I was only nearing the ramp of Gate C at beautiful Three Rivers Stadium. It looked doubtful that I'd .make it to my seat by kickoff time. I was running into the stadium when I Was accosted by two men wearing Fong executive-type coats and hand painted silk ties. "Where are you going, scab?" one of the men asked me. "This is the 'Burgh. We don't take kindly to any one who'll cross a picket line." "Who's on strike now?" I asked. "The ground crew? The scoreboard repairmen? The ushers again?" "No, we are. Fans Local 109." "When d'ja go out?" "Weeks ago. But typically, the me dia was concentrating on the players and didn't devote any attention to I broke into a smile and decided to go along with this joke. "So, how many fans are out on strike?" "There's thousands of us," he an swered while adjuting his tie. "Just some of arc here."

Not one of them wore a black and gold tassel cap. Plus, I smelled something funny, an aroma of Old Spice and minty Scope instead of kielbasa and Iron City. "C'mon, stop kidding around. I want to go see the Black and Gold eat up the Brownies." I started into the stadium when I was detered by a man with a protest sign. A man just as nattily dressed as the rest, pushed his glasses up his nose and approached me. "They happen to be very serious, sir. My name is Fred Marvey and I'm representing the Pittsburgh fans in the upcoming talks between players, fans and management." "What talks?" "Well, there's about 1,000 of us on strike right now. At home games we picket; away games, we watch mov ies on Channel 4. Our movement is slowly picking up momentum. We figure one million or so of us will be refusing to watch the games by next week." "But the playoffs are next week You have to support the team." "Why, they don't seem to care about us?" "Yeah," echoed the other union members. Said Marvey, "We're going to get the negotiating table. Then we're going to ask for 55 percent of the television gross, a domed stadium and a cheerleading squad before we go back to our seats."

What the fan of Pittsburgh wants is some respect. We're sick of being por trayed as loud-mouthed, crazy beer drinkers to the rest of the country. Do any of here have on a stupid gorilla suit on?

I want the media to show this." A women comes up to me, doing some finger pointing. "And it's not only the media but the players that insult us. I mean it's obvious they don't care abot the fans. They never prepare for press confer ences or interviews. It's really insult ing to read the sports section or watch postgame interviews anymore. .All you hear are cliches like, 'We gave it 100 percent; it wasn't in the cards or he's a real competitor.' These guys are supposed to be professionals. Can't they come up with some variety in their locker room rhetoric?" "You know what's even worse?" another. fan chimes in. "The way players sign autographs these days. They scribble instead of signing. I think it should be one of our demabds at the talks.

Fm sure the LeMont would cater each Sunday." "And Mr Marvey," said a fourth fan, "What about my proposal that players should have to publicly apol ogize to fans for dropped passes, fumbles and missed blocking assign ments?" "Don't worry," he said while push ing his glasses up once more. "I'll get you guys everything you're asking for. We'll hold out until we get every thing, even the motion to include taxi fares and a free glass of I.C. with each game ticket. They can't go on without us. After all, we're the Vhisoa Re; owl Q9COll6:_ game." As they began arguing over de mands, I slipped away. I have to admit I was quite disappointed with their attitude. After all, strikes are for pro athletes and school teachers, not for common people. Joe Englert is an 11th-term English major and a sports columnist for The Daily Collegian.

"Nor mally, we don't have any tickets to sell on game day, unless the visiting team sends back some of their allotment." If the Packers don't sell out the stadium, it will be the first time since 1959, the late Vince Lombardi's first year as as coach. At Irving, Texas, the Dallas Cowboys had sold out 44 straight games until the first weekend after the strike. The chances of a sellout for Sunday's game with Tampa Bay appeared slim yesterday, with about 24,000 tickets remaining. Cincinnati, which opens the playoffs at home against the New York Jets Sunday, completed a sellout of 59,274-seat Riverfront Stadium about noon yesterday, while it appeared the Pittsburgh Steelers, who play San Diego Sunday, and Miami, which takes on New England Saturday, will sell out by game time.

At Miami, the Dolphins still had about 20,000 seasons left yesterday, but a ticket office spokesman said they were extremely busy. A survey by The Associated Press of no-shows and unsold tickets in the seven weeks of post-strike football showed that NFL stadiums were, on the average, just over 76 percent full for the 98 games played. The NFL counted no-shows people who bought tickets but didn't use them at 11.6 percent this year, compared to 6.7 in 1981. No shows for the post strike period were 12.5 percent, according to AP's figures. The NFL put average per-game attendance for the full season at 53,000, with no-shows not includ ed. Last season, average paid attendance was 60,- 745, an all-time record, with no-shows included in the tally. ,pological c. it conferent 'have a nei 'y mother. best-dress 'hy am I no, ;coring witl lady-type persons?
