It is not that the college has not looked for other alternatives, there is just no land that any one is willing to give up. Origianly a thought was to have place a soccer field at a place that was bought out to place houses/apts at in which nothing would have been tampered with but it was bought b-4 the college could get everything worked out. I understand why everyone is upset. But if you think there was no problem with our scheduling then let the Babe Ruth league play their games at the high school. Just a thought.

Another thing that got annoying to us soccer players were other coaches from other sports trying to run us off the field during our scheduled practices. For instance one day a couple of college football coaches walked on to the field mid scrimmage and just stood around looking. Needless to say many were ticked. Conventionaly they left after a ball came soaring past their head. Fact of the matter we have gotten the shaft since soccer has began to grow around this area. There are a million baseball fields. And one soccer field which isn't even regualtion size within a 30 mile surrounding. SO tell me what should we do. We will take what the city gives us. Yet again I say if you have such a problem with it make a petition. If not then might as well get over it and go on with life. Just wish people would be happy for us rather then telling us we dont deserve it.

All I said is I do not believe that it is right to take away a baseball field from a group of kids to give a different field to a different group of kids.... I am entitled to my opinion. You say there are plenty of baseball fields... yes, of little league and softball size.... Where is there another baseball field of this size (other than Hambley) in the city of Pikeville? There isn't! I'm not at all unhappy.... just questioning the decision to rob Peter to pay Paul, so to speak!
