pigskincleat 13 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I do not think Carroll County has much room to talk about someones stadium or field. The lights in their stadium are so dark, it hides how bad the field surface really is. Do you still have to walk the mile and half back to to the school for the vistors to dress? They should let them dress in Floyd County, it would be closer. Like I said before, you can not play soccer on a field that slopes to the sidelines. If I remember right, I think Abingdon took their crown off their field last year. I do not think Grundy or anyone else is going to redo their field for a coed recreation team playing a jv schedule.

carrollfan 15 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I could care less about the field in grundy. I just do not think it is right not to let a team play because you are worried about the grass on a field. But it is okay I am done with this and I know that I will not be able to change peoples mind about this but I needed to voice it. Good Luck to Grundy with their new program and I hope you find a field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wavechick17 10 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Not if coach rowe has anything to do with it we wont.. but Riverview doesnt have a field. its dirt & its not anywhere near regulation size.. check your facts buddy. we have just as much right to use the field at the high school as you do. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I hear about Grundy's athletic field is that it does not have much grass on it anyway  [/ QUOTE ]   The money for field maintenance in CC may come from the school budget but that is not the case for every district. Football revenue pays the bills for the rest of the athletic programs at GHS. Coaches do the maintenance. Soccer has a practice field at Poplar Gap and if they wanted to play on the Riveriview field the coaches should do the maintenance on it. There won't be any soccer played on GHS's football field.  [/ QUOTE ]  sure about that? Poplar Gap as no soccer field & Riverview doesnt have to let the soccer team practice on its field. Grundy does. & the coaches specifically dont do the maintence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you? since they have done the blasting poplar gap doesnt have a practice field there buddy. & the soccer coaches cant do anything to the field at riverview because its not our field. its a privilege for us to get to even play at riverview. Coach P does maintence. & if im not mistaking, thats part of his job as PE teacher, even though i could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigskincleat 13 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 If he is a PE teacher, his job is not mowing grass. Riverveiw is also one of the county schools if I am not mistaken, they have to let you use it, it was designed for soccer. I talked to some people at work, and they claim there is also a field beside the baseball field. Leave it to a chick to try to explain something she has no clue what she is talking about. Does Grundy not teach Home Economics? Take that and put it to use in the real world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swvasport_7 10 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Okay i know for a fact coach plymal does every bit of that work on the football field but, I remember when they just started a little league soccer program and the didnt have anywhere to play so they took over the football field at poplar gap which was used for little league football (that was when they had one) and now you want to use the highschool football field? Let me break it down like this. Football has there own field, Baseball has there own field, Softball has there own field (yes i know we dont have a team this year), basketball has there own gym. You get where im going lol. Im all for the soccer program but you need your own field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wavechick17 10 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 The Little League Football field was the one that was approved for the soccer program. If they would give the soccer team the funds or the space then they would get their own field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â [/ QUOTE ] Â How about this? next time you think of speaking, dont. beacuse you have no idea what you are talking about. Riverview's field wasn't designed for soccer. It's only about 1/3 of the size of a regular field. I'm not sure what the field beside the baseball field is used for so i'm not going to say anything. how about you take some lessons? you need to know what you're talking about before you talk smack.
