" Safety fears mean barren bleachers at SC games Posted: Today at 11:11 a.m. CENTRAL, S.C. — Well, at least there won't be any hecklers. The bleachers will be barren Friday at a high school basketball doubleheader between two rivals in northwestern South Carolina. School officials say no fans will be allowed in because of safety concerns. Attendance at the boys' and girls' varsity games in the town of Central will be limited to players, coaches, officials, game personnel, school administrators, police and the media. Seneca Police Chief John Covington says he supports the decision because disturbances and violence have recently been spilling into the parking lot and neighborhoods after games. School officials say they met with police and the South Carolina High School League on the decision."

ahahahah wtf?

This is not uncommon in other countries, although I've never heard of it below the professional level.

I've been bamboozled!

let's call it what it is, ethnic infighting

1/28/2010 12:54:39 PM

what a boring game!

When I played high school soccer part of the excitment of actually playing was having the fans there to cheer you on...it gave us added energy and pumped us up even more.

1/28/2010 12:56:15 PM

I'm sure there were a lot of fans cheering for high school womens soccer games.

1/28/2010 1:11:36 PM

clearly this is for a football game

1/28/2010 1:13:18 PM

i dunno man our hs girls soccer team probably had a following of guys with their hands in their pockets twitching furiously

Nah, we actually would have a good crowd come and see us...you know boyfriends would come and bring their friends....and when football training and baseball practice was over they would watch the games...we'd get good turn out

a lot of the sports at my high school got good turn outs fan wise actually, not just the football and basketball....I mean yeah duh our football and basketball got the most but there would be a lot show up to soccer games and baseball games and tennis and volleyball

I wanna see how many parents complain about this and pull their kids from playing if they cant watch.

1/28/2010 6:47:33 PM

im sure this is racist

1/28/2010 7:06:07 PM

BIGOT!

1/28/2010 7:06:38 PM

not surprising

1/28/2010 7:11:58 PM

The surprising thing is that the two counties, Oconee and Pickens are like 90% white.[no racist]

I think you mean that those counties are dat 190% white... trash.

1/28/2010 7:34:19 PM

1/28/2010 7:51:20 PM

at least one goldsboro vs. eastern wayne high school football game has been held on saturday afternoon with no one allowed to attend except parents of players due to threats of gang violence

1/28/2010 7:54:02 PM

we had a gunshots break out at a football game with our rival high school one time, but neither school bothered to do anything different in later seasons.

1/28/2010 8:00:58 PM

I remember when my high school played a game in Reynolds Stadium. Place was packed. It would have been incredibly lame if they had barred people from attending the game.
