Sinton Fans Disappointed

**maroonpirate04** · 10-02-2005, 12:33 PM

I was just wondering now that the Pirates got back on track in their football season, You would think that the fans would attend the Sinton Orange Grove game this past friday. I noticed when I went to the game the stands weren't full on the home side it always is. I was sitting in section A were the band used to sit and that side weren't full. Was it because the school district didn't want to give back our money from the Sinton Cuero game. I know I was kinda mad about no refunds or at least letting us use those tickets for this past friday's games.

Well the Pirates are doing great

Congrats to them for working hard and not letting the teams they played so far not scoring more than 7 points in each game. Wish them luck in district gonna a tough district

There may still be some that took off for the hurricane and decided to make a vacation out of it. I think the crowd will be there once district play starts. The usual crowd was down by the fence this past Friday, didn't pay much attention to the stands.

They didn't return your money (or let you use the tickets) from the cancelled Sinton/Cuero game??

That's crappy!!!

Yeah, weird deal, they sent Cuero's money back, but not ours. Go figure.

Nope and they announced it at the game friday no refunds, The thing that got me mad was that when I bought my ticket their was no sign at the main office saying No refunds if Sinton/Cuero is cancelled

But when I went to get to buy for Sinton/Orange Grove game they put a sign up and even stamped it on the back of the ticket. I think if they are not gonna return our money they should give it to the Katrina/Rita Hurricane victims for a good cause instead making us think they are ripping us off

I agree! Our first game a couple of years ago was to be held at Grande Communications Center in Midland. It was cancelled due to lightning. It would have been next to impossible to return the money, since the game was held at a Midland field.

The game was played the next day in Greenwood. There was no admission for either side to get in!

I wasn't dissappointed. THE ENTIRE SCOREBOARD WAS WORKIN!! Maybe that's why they had a power outtage before the game.

Wish life was as fair as we want it to be... Wish I could get money for the two days of work I had to miss due to the plant being closed down, but it happens...

Let's just be happy we weren't hit by the hurricane...

I have to agree with you on that RM - I can understand maybe not giving a refund, but I think they should be valid for another game -

Another valid point too

So, the Sinton ISD just kept all that money?? Wow.......that's kind a low blow to it's faithful fans.

I bought season tickets this season just to be sure to have good seats for the GP and Cuero games! I didn't feel like going to the OG game and gave my tickets away.

I don't care about a refund for the Cuero game but can empathize for other fans especially for large families who purchased many tickets! I emailed Mr. Roberts and suggested he make the tickets good for admittance for a varsity basketball game as it would help with attendance and spirit for the basketball team. You might want to email him and make your thoughts known.

You know, I just realized that we had a home game cancelled (Refugio) and that I have season tickets. Sooooo, I just called the school and they said if I would bring the tickets back they will refund my money.

Whew....I was ready to get angry expecting a similar response. Buccaneer, you are right in that it adds up, when you have bought 4 or 5 tickets.
