V- Gate City 59 Oak Hill Red 39
Heard there was a player who went into the crowd to fight?
Yup, an Oak Hill playet lost his cool mid 3rd after fouling out.
He tried acting like it wasnt him that fouled the gc player, a couple of gc fans pointed at the player to help the refs (so to speak) then once the kid went to the bench he noticed a couple if gc fans pointing at him still and snapped, the ball was in play and the kid was tryingvto go across the court but was being held back by 2 teammate who pushed him near the hallway he then got loose and tried to make his way to the gc side but was tackled by a lady cop. Haha. Pretty dumb move by the kid and who knows what he was thinking with no fans for them and the rest for gc, if he would made it to the home side the kid might of got his ass whipped for him. And also in the jv game oak hill had 3 technicals on them. Crazy night to say the least
The guy is a dumbass, but it's the GC crowd, by far the biggest collection of annoying, redneck douches you'll find in SWVA.
We have a select few, just like everyone else. But biggest fanbase you got that part right!Quote:

Yes, Gold/A Red/B. Gold played in Texas last night and are currently #1 in the nation. No onr wants any of that!
I don't think it was GC that had a near riot at a BB game last year. Think that one was over in Wise Co. And if you want to see a douche, well, do you have a mirror? :rolleyes2:Quote:

As for redneck fans that get rowdy, I think that might go to TS. Come down Wednesday Raider and see them take on your Raiders. They're a tough, loud, redneck crowd.
Ervin doesnt bleacher coach. He has other things to do. He might yell at luke every once in a while but thats it. He usually just sits there, ive watched him. And ya jib vs ky jelly had a fight. And wasnt uva wise' coach clark in the middle of it?
I've sat in front of him and Adam Keith both several times when they were doing this, and that is fact.
That wasn't the fans genius, it was dumbass transfer players and a players dad. And it's not all GC fans by any means, but it's more than the regular few like most places, it's a whole section with even more scattered around. They were like that when I played and they were like that when I was several GC games last year.Quote:

sorry im not sorry that we love our sports.
And kinda like the idiots from coeburn when they came to legion field for game 11. We had a LB knock out their qb on GC's sideline. The hit was posted on youtube, the qb's mom posted a comment that gc fans at the fencr were trying to kick through the fence and hit him along with the players on the sideline. I watched the play about 30 times and seen none of that. All I seen was some emotion from the sideline after the hit but after everyone realized the kid was hurt they stopped and gc's coaching staff reacted and went to help the kid. No one on the fence was kicking or anything just in awe from the good CLEAN hit. Ppl try to give us a bad name, I guess thats what happen when you have the target on your back all the time. Oh well.... :)
Lol yeah, it's the "they hate us because we're good" thing. Wrong. I respect GC players, they've had some of the best athletes around and some of the best local teams in multiple sports I've seen...the fans take away from that an give the whole program a bad rep., it's sad.
Everybody hates a winner. we could br the kindest fans on thr planet but yall are still gonna hate. We dont care what ANYBODY thinks we go out to win, not to make friends. Its sports not a social gathering.
No doubt GC has a great sports program, but from an objective viewpoint your fans really are a bit much. Rude, and pompous bunch of crybabies is how I would describe them and I have nothing against GC. I like several of the players and have worked with them, as well as some of your coaches. But your fans are terrible.
Pretty interesting gc fans think the same about other schools. I dont understand how we are cry babies considering we usually win but ok.
Not intending to pile on, but
The worst I've ever seen a crowd behave (in person) was the Gate City side during a PV / GC game at BSG sometime in the 90's. It was to the point of being surreal. I remember thinking, "dang is this really even happening?!" I was standing by the fence on the GC side towards the scoreboard. Nothing was directed at me, of course I gave no indication who I was for or where I was from, but dang!!!!!!! It was like a wild wonderful White's of West Va. get together on steroids.
That's just it, that attitude right there. When you lose, it's never your fault. It's just the mindset your fans have that you are GC and everyone should bow to you. My job requires me to be around a lot of high school sports and several different schools. Gate City is the worst, and nearly all opposing teams think as much. Just speaking of the fans, the players are normally a class act.Quote:

I never blame anyone but GC when they lose even I thinl there was a bad call or not, you shouldnt of been in the spot where one call is gonna influence the game. I have never yelled at another coach, fan, or player without legitiment reason to defend a player. I know several jerks at gc but I also know several at union, clintwood, jib. it only takes 1 to ruin the rest though. Im always the type to talk to other players especially playmakers after a game to tell them good game and keep it up and sometimes ask about their future. Dont assume we are all bad apples. Yeah we can rowdy sometimes but there is usually a reason for something. Thanks

I have a high tolerance for fandom, I used to be quite the sight to see at sporting events, but some GC folk take it way too far. Racist slurs, horrible vulgarity (and I LOVE swearing so thats saying something coming from me), just over the top behavior. Football games are the worst, because GC fans feel they are entitled to teh visitor bleachers as well and it makes a mess. I almost exchanged blows one time because a set of GC fans said some of the nastiest things I have ever heard to Chris Kelly, talking about his disabilities and such. Not all GC fans are like that, but those were horrible and I told them as much.
GC basketball fans arent quite as bad, but some are still way over the top.
Did I miss the memo or something?Quote:

Sorry we take up the home side and half the away. Last I checked it was GC's field and a free country, anyone can sit anywhere. idc if u went to the home side and sat. I sit on the away side. Plus PV never brought enough fans to feel up the away side anyways. Plus colleged and pros have mixed crowds. but some ppl ate just like yourself are just lookin for trouble and thats what u getQuote:

I decided I was done with Gate City when we played them in basketball my senior year. One of our classmates had passed away and the funeral was earlier that day. All of the players, cheerleaders, and many of the fans wore black arm bands with the student's number on it. During the game, there were a number of comments and chants regarding the "Halloween bands." Just completely disrespectful and inappropriate. I'm all about being competitive and rowdy, but there's a limit to that.
Their fans don't get it, they really don't. They actually believe they are in the right.
Last years region D v-ball championship, a prominent coach in the gc coaching family absolutely ripped Eastside's players as well as an official all during the game and from the bleachers with other GC fans. It was to the point I felt embarrassed for the guy.
Just a small example of what GC fans look up to.
Looking for trouble? What the fuck are you talking about? If I was looking for trouble, I would have found it. But every other person on here has said how shitty your fans are. Its not just me. Are you saying Chris Kelly was lookin for trouble? How bout duck, or the rest of these people talkin about how obnoxious GC fans are?Quote:
