V-Cats 472 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 ...is a mile away from Virginia High. The owner/manager is obviously trying to be clever in his antagonism towards the Bearcats, which is annoying but perfectly fine. Well, guess who's laughing now? The only team in Bristol with a playoff win, that's who Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasDenton 79 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 What was it? Is it the Exxon at Exit 5? I drive by there every day on the way to work (and usually get gas there), but haven't noticed anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's the one at exit 5. I've chuckled every time i've seen it but i wonder why a business owner would want to alienate the folks at VHS. Not good business IMO.

Not good business IMO. You're right that it's not good for business being so close to VHS and doing that. I've known some of the people that work/worked there and lots of the people that are regulars there (that either buy there gas/tobacco/alcohol there regularly or just stop by to hang out) and it seems to me like they have more connection to Battle than VHS despite their location. That could be the reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueinbama 259 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Horrible business decision. In my world it would be like a business owner in Birmingham, Al. putting up Roll Tide signs and not giving equal time to Auburn, or in Charlotte supporting the Tarheels and not Duke. You're basically telling the "other" fans you don't want their business. People take their loyalties seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
