Oh but you are wrong bear nation going to surprise you with turnout for this coming Friday. Expect a large visitor crowd like we took to ER and championship game last year.
Mt Airy vs Robbinsville Western Regional Final
- Thread starter WickedStix9
- Start date
Don't have a dog in this fight since I'm from Murphy(and that was intentional lol) but you throwing shade at posters for talking up their team is the very definition of both hypocrisy and irony.
I would like to inject something the Murphy fan said in a earlier post about having seen the Robbinsville team in person and the MA team in person. He has not seen THIS team in person that Robbinsville has now. They are leaps and bounds a different team than what he saw play earlier in the year . Is that enough for Robbinsville? NO
MA 35
Rville 20
MA 35
Rville 20
They don’t believe me 😂
They will be Stadium seats out there now and bolted down, on both sides. I hope Mt Airy fans have good strong legs and backs as well as good vision while they are standing 5 rows deep for 3 hours
I wouldn't question that Robbinsville has improved plenty since they played Murphy. Walsh and staff have no doubt coached those boys up and made plenty of adjustments since then. But here's the deal, when you have two well coached football teams (both Robbinsville and Mount Airy unquestionably are) going at it, it comes down to the athletes on the field and objectively speaking Mount Airy just has more "dudes". Is that a guarantee of anything? No. But more often than not, it really is that simple.

I bet North Rowan has every bit as much speed as you all do. They are very fast. #6, #2 and #3 were all fast. That doesn’t mean anything. North Rowan relied heavily on speed beating us and it just won’t work. We know what MA brings to the table but relying on your speed alone will not win you the game. How is that saying anything negative about MA? You are looking for things to write home about. I’ve never said Robbinsville had as much speed as MA either. I said Cuttler Adams was the fastest guy on the field last night. He may be Friday too. He may not. It’s yet to be seen. The combination of speed, power and execution is what will win the game for MA Friday if that’s the result. The same will be said for Robbinsville.
So essentially you are saying they are incapable of hosting this game.
Best place to watch a high school football game. Both sets of bleachers are right on top of the field
Where in the world did you come up with that. It’s first come first served. All though the Fire Marshal might have something to say about how many can go into game. Just something to think about before you drive 6 hours. Again I’m just trying to give friendly advice
Solid d. If d line can occupy blockers, lbs will make tackles.
Seen Mt Airy play Murphy.
Seen Robbinsville play Murphy.
This game, in my opinion will be closer than most anticipate.
Would not be surprised to see Dee run some Notre Dame box with the backs he has. Good change of pace!
I just heard up on Main Street Mayberry at CHRISTmas parade that the Bears were heading to mountains early Tuesday morning. They want to make sure they are early enough to find somewhere close to park charter bus. However they do have a contingency plan to park at ingles and Uber in , 2 players at a time. I think Goober is gonna drive the bus and Barney is gonna chaperone
Uber? Robbinsville? 😂
And you don't see where that would be an issue for people driving 5 hours away to possibly be turned away or incapable of seeing the game. I came up with that from your comments. If that's true, as nice as the atmosphere maybe, that would be unacceptable.
MA brings more than speed in they are strong and very physical. Can beat you inside as well as outside. D is quick to the ball and kicker who doesn't come off the field will be the best you have seen. As for no room in bleachers who cares as long as the Bus can get in to the Feild and players can get to the Feild we good. Will be great game by two well coaches teams.
There's plenty of room on Jethro's truck, once you move Ellie's critters out of the way.
(just kidding mountain folks, you know I love you)!
I posted this in a thread on Nov. 1 and thought it needed posting again. Playoff game seating requirements. Does Big Oak have 500 visitor seats ? The stadium now seats 1,665, up from 1,500 before the renovations. The population of Robbinsville was 597 in the 2020 census. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robbinsville,_North_Carolina

Yes they have well over 500 visitor seats , of which will be occupied Wednesday and Thursday by Rville and SMC fans..
You don't have to worry about seating at Robbinsville people. They've had bigger crowds than next Friday in the past I'm sure. It's not a better place to watch a game than Boyce Dietz Field though. #shotsfired
We.not worried we know these guys are full of it. Been to Swain one time and thought it was nice stadium with a lot of seating.
Have you ever went to a big event only to get there and be sold out ? This is true small rural 1A football. Our stadiums can only set so many and they are only so much standing room. Our schools are not teams that were once 4A, 3A or 2A that had stadiums to accommodate those size of programs then many schools dropped down one maybe 2 classifications with all that room for higher attendance. Remember this will be the biggest show in Western NC with a lot of teams will make the drive to see this one. If memory serves me right school only has to provide enough visitor seating for 500. But again it will be first come first serve.
Big oaks is a way better environment than Swain County memorial stadium
Robbinsville does have one Hotel. It’s a Microtel with probably 30 room capacity but it’s probably already booked with the local tractor convention held next weekend. More quality info coming
Will the game be on the NFHS Network ? I have it until 12/9/23 and I don't like it but I may listen to the game on the radio and try to watch the game. NFHS is about 20 seconds behind real-time over the radio live. I always listen to the games on the radio.
MA guys you could find out who the (tailgate monitor) is and offer him some food you probably could have a tailgate
Book your motels 30 minutes before you get to Robbinsville. After retiring from the Newspaper I was the 3rd shift manager at Comfort Inn and they will go up on their prices by 30% or more for Friday night at all motels where there is an event or anything special like holidays or the Autumn Leaves Festival here. Get your motel on the way at least 30 miles out.
I saw this front license plate at Robbinsville two years ago against Murphy. Now, is the appropriate time I get to post it.
I wonder if the guy will make it to the game?

It’s been running late as far as getting started so you may need to be patient on the start and just keep refreshing

So it is at least 20 seconds behind also because of the streaming lag time because of it's buffering.
I’m sure there will be 20-30 trucks setting there with that same tag on them
