Fanatic supporters from both sides wore their colours with pride, but it was clear from the sea of green in the stands that Winnipeg fans were a little outnumbered.

“We’re outnumbered about 100 to one,” said Koobie Kid, 52, whose fan outfit included wearing a shrink-wrapped sausage – a so-called “Winnipeg Stetson” – around his neck.

Then another drove of Roughriders fans passed and Kid, who’s attended 26 Grey Cups by his count, recalculated the odds.

“That’s modest. Might be 500 to one.

In the end, the Roughriders beat the Bombers 23-19.
