What teams fans travel the best?

Burg travels great, Jackson has a big fan base and also bring an extra 200-300 I bet due to being band parents/fans. Ironton I’m sure is back on the travel wagon.

The other teams we play don’t travel big.

Athens, Trimble, and NY travel well.

Yeah, figured Trimble did but I’ve not seen them play. Rival type games will typically travel well.

Definitely based on success of program a good bit

Fort Frye travels well. Waterford travels well. Heck their girls basketball team probably has more fans than most SEO football teams :lol:

Athens had about half of what Unioto brought to McArthur Friday night. Athens always brings a good crowd for basketball though. Jackson always travels well.

Athens traveled well when Burrow was there. Since it’s nothing to get excited about.

Every GA game I've been to since Penrod took over, GA stands have been getting steadily more packed.

At Meigs, for instance, GA brought more fans, even in an hour and a half rain delay than Meigs did.

Jackson and Gallia Academy should play every season every sport.

At least, Poo Bear. At LEAST. Oddly enough, I heard that GA replaces RV with a familiar foe of the Ironmen. Western Brown.

They had a decent run some 5 years back but I think they will be the best 0-10 team in the state this year.

When you go there....eating at Butterbees is a must for your 115 mile trip

Do y'all have your week 1 game set, next year? I keep hoping the Blue will dump Meigs and schedule a bigger traditional rival like Jackson or Logan

Agree about playing every sport, should be a no brainer. Jackson and Gallipolis both travel very well, Burg for there size not far behind.

That’s a looooong way for a regular season game. Hopefully GA can find someone local to play after the WB series ends. That’s just an awful long trip!
