That being said we do travel well and 90% of the time outnumber the home team fans. It does make me mad that a lot of people leave after half time. I go to watch the game and always get stuck sitting on the away side because the whole home side is always reserved. The good thing is that the away side is generally empty depending on which team so a good seat on the away side isn't hard to find. Maybe they should think about un reserving so many of the seats,I know when my brother in law played we never got to set on the home side,there was always empty seats that could have been filled but they were reserved,glad I get to go watch 1a and 2a ball where you can set anywhere you like as long as you get there early, anyways go cyclones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EHSTrack06 Posted November 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 Yeah at the old stadium they kept adding more and more reserved seating it got to be ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REBELRON Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 My buddy at work who has a daughter cheering for Sequoyah told me he is going to this game. He thinks it will be a great game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crowd this past Friday was a disgrace less than half full and smallest crowd of the year. I say atleast 30% just come for band and leave then anther 30% come to talk and do not have a clue about the game. So EHS does not have a big football fan base and I am sure some will argue that but this past Friday and watching what happens after the band plays and yes they left after the band the Greeneville game shows they are not there for football well, lets examine this topic for a bit shall we. For one, there are usually more band members than football players, especially at schools like betsy and greeneville, so naturally there will be more band parents at the games than football parents. that leaves us with the fan that has no ties to the band OR the team players. They are in most cases there to see either both or just the Football game. Before three years ago, I was the typical parent that went for the football game. Then my daughter started high school and decided she wanted to try color guard. She did and loves it so there for I have been given the chance to see a whole different side of this issue. If i were not making Greeneville videos and had zero interest in football what so ever, i promise you i would go to every game her band was at and i have seen her perform atlelast 2 times every year shes been there and i fully support their band and am a small donor to their cause. So i totally understand why some people go to the games and leave after the band plays. I also understand why alot of people didnt pack the house for Betsy vs SHS this past w eek. Im sure the weather sucked at some point there too and im pretty sure most betsy fans knew that wouldnt be much of a game. we have to remember that not EVERYONE is as fanatical about football as us and you DID also say that your fans travel well, so be proud of that. It's possible that alot of fans were saving their money for round 2. we also have to remember that in this region a lot of people are struggling to make ends meet and must decide carefully how and where to spend their "entertainment" dollar. I imagine a family of 4 or more would spend a decent amount of cash to attend a playoff game. Dont ticket prices go up a couple bucks for playoff games? Didnt intend to type a novel here, I just wanted to share my thoughts on the subject, because like you, I sometimes get frustrated at our fans for not being as loud as i think they should. Just a few thougts from a single parent with minimal funds to work with 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilman, you should be ashamed for corrupting me like this ) Actually from what I've been told and understand the younger brother of the head coach has worked for the fireworks company Pyroshows since he was a teenager and 3 or 4 of the other coaches do shows and travel working for Pyroshows so the fireworks are donated and the younger brother designs and orchestrates the whole show. so they really spend next to nothing on all their fireworks. Pyroshows is in Campbell county and is the same company that was responsible for Booms day. Really to my knowledge they are the largest fireworks show on the eastern side of the United states. Campbell County High School also uses them for their fireworks. Edited November 6, 2017 by haweanbula Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
