camel lips Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Patrick,I also said all along, that Winston Salem needed more than one to make sure they worked out all the bugs. A regular season show isn;t finals. get the #### out of the way in a run or three THEN go for the gold. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I am not sure if its been pointed out before or not but If the finals don't come to WS this year,,,,the folks in WS may look at us and say Why are we working so hard to get this event?????Its clear they don't want to come down here so why should we bother promoting it???? Folks,,,,,,opportunities don't come around like this very often.The time to strike is now while the iron is hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camel lips Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 actually, my gut feeling is many of them won't be thrilled about a road trip. at least from the feedback I have gotten.I think it's stupid, but it's what I foresee <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I am sure there will be a element that will not attend WS just out of spite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegalEagle50 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 I am sure there will be a element that will not attend WS just out of spite <{POST_SNAPBACK}> do you have any proof of that other than a feeling? maybe someone could or should set up a table at the stadium this year to do an informal survey. there are 3 shows that could be polled.

Jeff Ream Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 I am not sure if its been pointed out before or not but  If the finals don't come to WS this year,,,,the folks in WS may look at us and say Why are we working so hard to get this event?????Its clear they don't want to come down here so why should we bother promoting it???? Folks,,,,,,opportunities don't come around like this very often.The time to strike is now while the iron is hot. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> and if the fans go there and it sucks, they'll say "why the #### did we go there" like in 96.

Jeff Ream Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 I am sure there will be a element that will not attend WS just out of spite <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Oh I am pretty sure there will be from talking to many people. sad I know, but you have that now...NY people who ##### about going to PA and PA people who ##### about going to NY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnZ Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 I appreciate both sides of the debate. Bottom line: I'll march where they tell me to march. The fans will trek to wherever the show will be. We will make the experience as good or bad as we want it to be (Semper Gumby) We will never find that 'perfect' field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 We will never find that 'perfect' field. Since we don't live in Perfect, maybe we should get a bid from Walgreen's b**bs . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegalEagle50 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 i've seen some Walgreens big enough that they could host the show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
