com74bsslc 10 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Love going to Union walking thru town nice old stadium always someone grilling in front lawn nice fans. Honaker fans are super nice. Gatecity fans have lots of class. Virginia High cool field. Grundy awesome hotdogs. Abingdon have always liked the stands and how the field is sunken. Of course Ernie Hicks is awesome but I am a Richlands fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasDenton 79 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 I agree that Honaker's fans are really nice. I always like playing them, whether it's away or home. For me, since I film games and am either in or on top of the press box, I like Gate City. People in the booth are always super nice and they give us free drinks and pizza.

com74bsslc 10 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Never been to a Graham /Beaver game and can imagine it would be awesome at mitchell when it is full. In the past when we've player either team there it just feels to big. Almost like on TV when those really rich people go out to eat and pay $200 for a big plate and it has a cracker with a spoon full of steak on it.

redtiger 1,742 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Honaker fans are super nice. Gatecity fans have lots of class. Grundy awesome hotdogs. Ive personally had mixed results with both Honaker and GC. Had rocks thrown at our bus at Honaker, but spoke with some nice people from there as well. Lots of jackasses at GC, but mostly teenagers and college aged kids(adults should keep them reigned in). I dont assume the entire fan base is like that. Grundy does have some good hotdogs! Union does play at a cool stadium and Bullett Park has more history than any other stadium in SWVA(maybe the state) but the field is WAAAAYYYYYY over rated as a playing surface, its not any better than Haysi's. Clintwood is a stadium; good seating and a very, very nice field! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblank 39 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 We might not have the best stadium, but our field @ Virginia High has got to be the best to play on and look at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasDenton 79 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 We might not have the best stadium, but our field @ Virginia High has got to be the best to play on and look at. I'm mixed about Virginia High's field. Battle has the same field now and while they're really good looking, after watching games on both fields, it seems like it's a lot harder to play in the rain than on regular grass. We finally got our field filled in...no more bald spots, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblank 39 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Cool, too bad we won't get to see it until next year. Always liked going to the "Battle Field" though, lots of good memories of us winning up there. ;) (just messin' with ya) Seriously though, I do enjoy going up there, never had the slightest bad experience.

Gotta agree with you there. It's more often than not you see Graham and Beaver fans tailgating together instead of separately. Of course, once the game starts, we all go our separate ways for a few hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankthetank 10 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 I always enjoyed playing at Riggs Stadium. There just something about getting your forearm cut open by bolts and sparkplugs that are lying randomly on the field.. and not to mention that big flat rock around the 20 yard line. OUCH!

Lance 228 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Everyone in this area should make the trip over to Hurley and watch a game at "The Cliff" while you still can...you can say what you want about Hurley and its fans, they are not known to roll out the red carpet for the visitors or anything like that...but, it's just something you need to experience and it'll give you a lot of appreciation for a small town that loves it's team. Gate City in a good year is another trip everyone should make. The Stone Castle in Bristol...Clintwood...Graham/Beaver...just a few off the top of my head.

Unchained 587 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 My favorite place to go is Clinchport. Why you may ask do I enjoy a ride to the cow pasture? Because this big 'ol boy loves to eat and the Eagle's nest is the bomb :) Actually liked going to Coeburn as well-nice seating and good hotdogs. Gate City being the worst (again because I love to eat). My buddy from there tried to warn me about the hotdogs,but I had to get ballsy-black tar chili that you could patch a radiator with. I truly hope that has changed :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
