They had a player down on the field, Coleman, I believe. And I could here fans saying crap to the refs, calling them idiots etc. I'm sorry, but when a player is down, you behave yourself, and if it's one of your own, that is even more of a reason to keep your mouth shut. I know that no one likes to lose, but that kind of behavior is inexcusable. </div></div>

typical norton fans......they have no class. </div></div>

I was sitting very close to a couple of our(Raider's) "obnoxious" fans, but there was just as many on the Clintwood side. I do not think that all Raider fans should be classified in one group. I was sitting very near a couple of guys, one a grown man and one a highschool student who was yelling at the refs during the injury timeout, and I think it was out of line, but we all should not be classifeid as " the typical raider fan... no class".There is some very classy supportive fans for our team. There was a few greenwave fans yelling very rude comments and remarks during the time that Coleman was down hurt and then again when Talley was hurt. We <u>ALL</u> have those fans. Like said earlier you just have to ignore those.
I am a Raider fan and I stay from beginnning to end no matter what the weather or outcome of the game, as do a lot more fans. I will support the Raiders win or lose, as do a lot more of our fans. <span style="color: #FF6600">I did yell, scream, and cheer for the raiders the entire night.</span> I think fans should cheer for their team and show them their support. I do get embarrased at times at the way some of the grown men act, but every team has those type of fans.

I was also disappointed in the number of fans leaving from Burton's side. It was a very miserable night with the rain and wind, but a true fan stays through thick and thin until the very end. It just shows the boys that we support them no matter what the end score.
