Bearcat Bob 491 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 As fate would have it, I was up in Winchester yesterday for a business matter. By the way, I could have used UVAO's expertise in this matter. Anyway, I came back down through Berryville. That Senseny Road shortcut is a good one...but you have to keep your eyes open to see it. Then the right onto Westwood is in a turn and sneaks up on you. BUT, you can basically see the stadium light towers most of the way. Also, there is an old fire tower that is a good landmark to let you know you are on the right path. You run smack into the old high school but the new school is within eyesight. Senseny/Westwood basically cuts off the corner of 340 where the parade is scheduled. So, if you come up via 522 from Front Royal or down 522 from Winchester, take 340 towards Berryville, left on Senseny Road about a mile before Berryville, a right on Westwood (I believe it was the first road after leaving Senseny). Keep getting it until you see the school. Look to the horizon for the old firetower and stadium light poles (may not see them until you turn on Westwood--cannot recall), then you will pass the baseball field and old high school. I plan on parking at the old high school and walking over, but I think they are scheduling shuttle buses (it is a short walk though). If you get lost, join the parade.

Bearcat Bob 491 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 Never, ever sign a contract without legal counsel standing by...especially when dealing with SWaM vendors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, SWaM is a needlessly sticky wicket, especially on a state level with procurement. This is aside from the obvious pitfalls for any alleged breach of a SWaM contract by the fundor.

Bearcat Bob 491 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 Now you tell me! We got it straightened out but, NEVER again. I thought we were being a good steward by supporting that program. In the end, it cost us almost twice as much as we had planned. Deleted Account 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose111874 967 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 Once your near stadium does anyone know if it's best from the traffic circle to take first exit onto state rt. 636 or take third exit onto Mosby blvd, just curious to which one would miss the parade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueRazor 1,147 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Good Luck today Union! I will be here at home pulling for you all and listening on the radio. I sure hope you guys play the type of football your capable of. If you do....I think you win by at least two scores but all that matters at the end of the day is to have one more point than Clarke! Good luck and hope for safe travels for all. Represent well my friends..... Bigrhsfan, Union_Fan, wave316 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union_Fan 2,156 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Rumors of the extra bleachers did not live up to reality. :( redtiger, cityofRaven and Bigrhsfan 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtiger 1,742 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 I was expecting the little fold up ones with 2x6 wood tops, is that what you guys got? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union_Fan 2,156 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Looks like they brought a single section of Burton's new visitor stands up here. But it's roped off for the band and student section. So, basically, no additional fan seating. redtiger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigrhsfan 884 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Man, hate to hear that about your seating........it seems like the schools up that way ( from central Va on ) are just not use to the type of crowds that we get around here ! I should say on average, I'm sure there are schools up that way that have big fan bases, just maybe not as many as we have around here. Good luck today Union_fan, I will also be listening to 93.5 to the game today and pulling hard for you guys !! Go get em ! wave316 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beamerball 566 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Looking at the scene from the Union/Clarke game, then compare with the Essex/Galax and GW/Riverheads pregame scenes.....sparse crowds at those.... https://twitter.com/GazetteSports24/status/673201366022664192/photo/1?ref_src=twsrc^tfw https://twitter.com/ThePackFootball/status/673201186300891136/photo/1?ref_src=twsrc^tfw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtiger 1,742 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Galax only brought around 100 fans last week at JIB and Essex only had about 85 last year v Haysi. Not a lot of fan support for either team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueRazor 1,147 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 So sorry Union. I hate it! We will try it again next and I know its not the outcome we expected but what a year for the team and Community. A lot of great football players on the team and I enjoyed watching you guys play. Union_Fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
