BigD4VT 11 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Better than at Tazewell in my opinion. You'll have more seating and parking. Gives me a chance to take in an extra game if it's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GHS89 77 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 If everybody made the trip to Richlands, it would be obvious why the game can't be played anywhere but Mitchell. Talk about a public safety hazard. Has any school board member even seen the crowd that this game draws? I wouldn't anger that bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffro 32 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 if these people on the Tazewell C. School board cannot resolve this issue, then the sould NOT be re-elected. They intend to destroy a lost standing tradition and if this is the best they can do they need to find another job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluefield_Rules 46 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 http://www.wvva.com/ Rivalry needs place to play Written by Chris Miles The Beaver-Graham game is one of the biggest sporting events of the year. This Friday it may not be played in it's familiar location Mitchell Stadium. The contract between Tazewell county and Bluefield, West Virginia expired at the conclusion of last year's football season and has not been renewed. The proposed cite for Friday's game is Richlands, Virginia. Bluefield city officials have been working overtime to get a new deal done and city manager Mark Henny believes one will be finalized by tomorrow evening. Mark Henne, Bluefield City Manager, "...very hopeful because this is involving our youth of our community. Two fine institutions Bluefield Beavers and Graham. People look forward to this day year round and certainly we are not going to deny them the opportunity to start the school season in grand fashion with a Graha--Bluefield Beaver football game and I'm concerned. The city board is concerned about that and the one way we can do that is to have at least the season covered as long as Graham and Bluefield are using that facility it's a lot of work to maintain that " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawgs05 10 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Richlands has a horrible field.....if they get the field turf then it would be a good place to have the game. If not, the only good field in Tazewell County is at Tazewell, which i hope it wont be there either, why tear up tazewell or richlands' field to accomodate the overcharging city of bluefield??? Richlands would have more seating due to more room on the hill on the visitors side, although Tazewell has a much much nicer field, ie - no huge ankle breaking hump in the middle, no worm probs, and its usually in excellent shape all season. Tazewell has better parking...three different high school parking lots, the supply building next to the high school, the elementary parking lot, the vocational school parking lot, not to mention the entire practice field between the high school and elementary school. It is also a shorter drive for both teams. maybe they should just have it at Pocahontas High school.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
