All bickering and complaining aside, it looks like us "out of towners" and some hometown Fans are going to get scr3w3d on seeint the game live. It appears like the Brenham Coach went into the negotiations with a PLAN (Cylon) to hurt the PNG Fans because he heard how fantasticly fanatic we ALL are. No sense crying over spilt milk, maybe someone will tell Coach Faircloth, NICELY, at the BC meeting to be more forceful next time. Those of us who will not be able to get in to see the game (and what really ticks me off is it is only 12 miles from my house)will just have to listen to Moe and Curly on the Radio Broadcast or Webcast. I am just ecstatic PNG is still playing and showing Texas what we are made of.

squaw said:Justafan-you hurt my feelings! :'( I've been in Houston all day with my sick husband and haven't been on here at all and now you're calling my name. I did contact a board member and found out that a new board member AND an old board member tried to get admin to sell to season ticket holders first and were told "it is too much trouble" by admin. I know you think I only support the new members (which I do as long as they do a good job), but I also support a couple of the old board members!! Again, I was told that all this ticket nonsense is decided by the administration. Anyway, be mad at Brenham's coach, not PNG. IMO, I think us season ticket holders should be able to buy tickets first but its out of my hands! I would love to meet and talk to you and you'd see I don't lie and am fair to ALL.

PNG Proud said:OK, for all who THINK you know how it went down (like 76), you are all wrong. Coach Faircloth went into the process, in thorough detail, about how the stadium is secured. It is a long, tedious process, that must be agreed upon by ALL 4 COACHES, BEFORE the games are even played. Plus, the big 5-A schools (ie Katy) gets the pick of the litter, so to speak, and we have to get 4 coaches to agree, while none want to play where the other coach has previously played and won. I.E., no one wants to play us at Stallworth. That was an option, if we flipped Stallworth for Brenham's choice, but Brenham's choice held like 4600 fans, so it really was not an option.
So, the way it played out, Thorne was indeed the best option this week. The Aldine AD assured BF that they would accomodate "everyone", that they "could sit on the hill" and we could sit on Brenham's side too.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the info. Make me feel better about getting our fans in. One thing that may affect the "sitting on the hill" is that there is a chance of rain Friday. Channel 6 said hopefully the rain will end before kickoff but the hill may be wet. Having said all that, I have learn never to change my plans because of a extended weather forecast.
