BigWinners Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 8 hours ago, Union's hammer said: BigWinners, you do realize that Union is 2 towns so if they played all their games in Appalachia it should be just as good to you as the park I would watch them play in hell if need be. But people like you is what's wrong with this. Cry me river because someone mentioned playing up there would rather play there then wise. But I think big stone is a dump as well hate the layout. The park doesn't seat enough at least up in at that dump you hate you could sit on a hillside and have an excellent view. Plus you didn't have to fight for a dang seat. Thanks for showing your true Powell Valley colors. Plus Union as no home field the park is just a rental so why can't we play more up there. The field is in better shape then that 1 in middle of big stone. Unions soccer teams play all their home games up there 8th grade and jv football played up there this year. Haha, that is hilarious is several different ways. To start, I don't know you, at all. But evidently you know me. it's also hilarious for you to trash the park after getting the vapors because I said I thought Riggs is a dump. Do you understand how that looks to any sane person? I guess not since you're still rambling about it. How is it okay for you, apparently an Appalachia guy, to say the park is a dump (I'm not offended in the least, I have some issues with the park as well but I believe it's a much nicer venue than Riggs and I'm positive I'm not alone in that line of thinking) because I said Riggs is a dump? And to your cronies, what don't I get? I never said Appalachia wasn't successful there nor did I take any shots at Appalachia fans in general. There's history there sure. But that doesn't mean the field is a great place to play. I get it just fine, you guys don't think Union could beat Graham on a field that is in decent shape so you wanna use gimmicks to try and win. And you guys claim I'm not a real Union fan! SMH I'm laughing at all this, because it's so dumb. It's that old fan thing of trying to make yourself feel better as a fan by denigrating another fan's credibility. Okay, you got me, you're a WAY bigger Union fan than I am. Do you feel better now?

Mountain Football Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 Really not sure why Graham would be mentioned at this point. We got to take care of business against Virginia High first. They're a solid team and I hope we don't over look them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all started with a joke, early in the thread, about slowing down Graham's speed on a muddy field and then went off the rails. And you're right, Graham needs to take care of Va High and Union has to get by Battle...again...a week later. Mountain Football 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarhead24219 Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 The post was about how good it would be to see Union come down those stairs, these kids are from big stone east stone Appalachia and all the coal camps around , and maybe Lee county too. Most of these kids had dads , uncles ect from both PV and Appalachia that played there. We should always be linked to the tradition of the past, that’s all, Riggs Stadium is not a dump no more than Cummins field is. Our kids picked the name Union to link the two schools as well as blending the two school colors into one, I may be an old fan but that just means I have seen so much more football than you youthful guys. I am one of those guys who would rather watch a game at Lambo than at Jerry world, tradition counts, I love The Park but damn man Riggs would rock Hhsdevils93 and Grapeape 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swva_havok_fan Posted November 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 We have a former Powell Valley player who is one of my closest confidants and friends at Ridgeview. To be fair, he said he drove by Riggs just this past week and the field looked great. Hhsdevils93 and Vol Hater 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to a couple jv games at Riggs this season and the field looks great, the people who complain about Riggs Stadium are the reason a lot of people from Appalachia hated PV back in the day because they make comments about the town and school.

BigWinners Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 I didn't even make a comment about the town or the school lol. I was talking about the field. And it was far from a one sided trash talking affair. Some of you need to take a deep breath and relax. It's not that serious. But I am disappointed to hear so many people who supposedly are from PV or played for PV being so quick to defend Applachia. It's one thing to tolerate those heathens for the sake of the kids and Union, but jeez going out of your way to praise them? Have some pride. The Hatfields don't revere the McCoy's! By the time I was in school, Appalachia was on their last legs and were not really rivals, but people that grew up in the 70s, 80s, and 90s, I thought you guys of all people would understand. I'm the token progressive here, yet it's you guys acting all PC.

Never said anything about the town school was talking about the field and its clearly apparent that you never did play ball anywhere and if you did you where probably the ball fluffer. You sir would have never made the team in Appalachia and we took all 36 that came out. You are a true piece of work. Union_Fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hhsdevils93 Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 Parking at Appy is very tight. But the view from the stands is great. I’d like to see the Bears get a game per year there. That way it has a home game feel for the program still. I think the soccer program uses it right? So it is maintained some. Just a random thought from an “outsider”.
