School Fan Support

[PinballWizard]

It seems that all the games I have been to recently have had little to no support from their fellow students. I remember the days when I would go to Bearden and Farragut regular season games and the stadiums were packed. What schools that you know of still have major fan support?

[BigG]

I think for the big games they are packed (i.e. Bearden Farragut, or Catholic CAK). Most of the other times, it is just parents and girlfriends, with a few loyal fans!

 

I know it sounds weird, though, but when the game starts, I really don't even pay attention to the crowds. I couldn't tell you how many people were there or not.

I don't know if they always do, but last year in our game vs. Walker Velley, they had a ton of support.

 

They had tons of fans, and a guitarist and drummer out there.

 

Im saying lots of support, not very much sportsmanship to the other team in no way in that game.

The good teams of Chattanooga usually get pretty full crowds. I know CCS, CSAS, Notre Dame, Baylor, and McCallie all get great crowds on any given night.

Bearden Farragut games have the most fans

well every team playing their rivals have a lot of fan support..especially if they are hendersonville, bearden, farragut, brentwood amongt other teams

I can't go to any FHS games this year so i can't say what its like this year. but last year Farragut had pretty good support. I think the West region tourney game had the most students(that i could remember) for any of the games other than when Farragut played Bearden. In 2004 the support wasn't that great other than when they played Bearden. Since Farragut is/was good and couldn't draw many then i would assume that the majority of other schools get basically no support. I haven't been to an away Farragut game other than @ Bearden, so I can't really say that other schools don't show support, but with the lack of press that soccer gets around here it wouldnt be hard for me to believe if the number of students for a knoxville area game didn't exceed 7.

Sad that a team would get seven students for support. Nick

that is sad but what's worse is it probly isn't too far from the truth and probably and exaggeration for some schools.

This is a great point...The lack of press. I see all kinds of articles about baseball and softball, but very little about soccer (I am speaking of the Knoxville area). In this area, there has been far more championship from soccer than any other sport- yet very little coverage!! That stinks!! The only way to change it is too contact the local papers! This is true of the rest of the state also. It is annoying to read about a sport where fat kids who can't run more than 50 yds without needing oxygen, get headlines!
