The home field advantage is dying....
As a lot of you former players (UTVols 2, PVFan, The Beast, ect.) know Clintwood's visitors locker room's are some of the most spacious and nicest that you'll find in the state. As I type this, those are no more. They are building a new visitors locker room/weight room expansion, so those nice, plush visitors accomodations you've been used to for the last 30+ years will be no more. The old locker room will be turned into the rest room and the old rest rooms have been torn down. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]

LPD teams will find new arrangements when they visit the Cove also, as the home locker room will be housed in the new Field House and visitors will dress out in the old home locker room facilities inside the stadium.
Re: The home field advantage is dying....
I'd guess that Clintwood has the some of the smallest visitors lockers around. They're horrible. Appy's is small but at least it'll hold more than 10-12. I always thought it was funny when a team like PV'd come over with about 50-60 kids, you couldn't fit more than 10 people in that shoebox. It's about 4 feet wide and 15-20 feet long.

Re: The home field advantage is dying....
I always thought that Clintwood had the best visitor locker rooms in the Region D. That walk in closet was NICE. I actually thought it was just a restroom the first time I went in it, I was looking for the huge troff (sp?) pisser to line up one of the walls.
That was always part of the mystique of playing in C'wood. They will be greatly missed.
Re: The home field advantage is dying....
We had a player take a [censored] in front of everybody before a game in there one night. The CW locker rooms should never be torn down, it's like removing thunderstruck from pv's entrance.
Re: The home field advantage is dying....
They wont actually be torn down. It's my understanding that they're going to be turned into rest rooms. The old rest rooms are what have already been torn down. Which isn't a bad thing. If you were standing at the urinal, anyone sitting in between the 45's looking in that direction could see you clear as day.
Re: The home field advantage is dying....
Hell, I thought the entrance to the visitors locker room at Clintwood was a urinal...lol. You NEVER went through that door to the field without a helmet on....there was more drinks, nachos, candybars...and prolly piss and who knows what else that rained down on ya coming out that door. That being said, you knew where those folks' allegiance was.....I loved playing up there tho...close second to playing at Riggs.

Still erasing those memories [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img]
Also remember playing with cheese stains on my jersey from the nachos thrown from the above bleachers
Re: The home field advantage is dying....
I swear I think that the visitor locker room was set up that way due to some psychological tactic Ralph came up with. And if anybody knows Ralph and thinks otherwise, they don't know Ralph [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]
He didn't miss too many tricks.
Re: The home field advantage is dying....
I don't even remember who did that, I just remember them doing it.
