Real Sasquatch Posted August 17 Report Posted August 17 Oh and they would ask them to sign a contract to park there for 5 days, when they only need to park there 1 day. CPF and frito gonzales 2 Quote

Beaverdad16 Posted August 17 Report Posted August 17 17 hours ago, CPF said: Another set of bleachers are on the way and they are supposed to be set up by 9/1. People need to relax, they've held little league games there for years with no bleachers. This is not optimal for the season but it is what it is. They never planned to be there this year but unfortunately the greed of bluefield west virginia pushed us here. I was there today as well, and I thought the police did a good job overall. All I can say is if you have a problem with it stay home and watch it on tv. I guess two things can be true at the same time. To your point, Graham has hosted many youth events before, and not once has the police been there to help with parking. Why today? The school wanted to present the illusion they had it under control, and anyone with eyes could see it was a $&@& show Quote

Good grief, there are more things in life that are much more of a $#!t show. I've been watching High School Football for 50 plus years and I've been to plenty of games where I had to walk a country mile because of parking. The day I can't walk is the day I'll stop going Quote

Fairlawncat Posted August 19 Report Posted August 19 Thought i read on here that Taz County was getting the bleachers from Pocahontas field to go as Grahams away side bleachers? Are those bleachers they just put in from Pocahontas? Quote

Are those bleachers they just put in from Pocahontas? No. They decided to do rentals for this year. I don't think it's been decided to get the Pocahontas bleachers refurbished and moved to Graham or buy new ones now. To be determined......lots of moving parts currently. Hopefully this all gets worked out in next month or two. This year is pretty much what it is currently. Quote

Wait, you mean the county administrator & board of supervisors didn’t sequester more funds to keep them from renting the bleachers? Did the school board have to submit a rental agreement for Mr. Young for him to personally approve? No one wants the school board determining how to budget their funding, how ludicrous. We need the county administrator, board of supervisors, possibly even a private foundation making those determinations 🙄 . Yes, the bleachers do look nice but I digress from my original comments. 😂 Real Sasquatch, jeffro, CPF and 1 other 2 2 Quote

jeffro Posted August 22 Report Posted August 22 So i get to watch my first game at Graham's learning center. Richlands Middle Vs Graham Middle. Mixed feelings-I coached a lot of games at this field back in the day. Lot of great memories. Now my girl is cheering for Richlands -(yeah I'm a Graham fan). cityofRaven 1 Quote
