I suppose I see your point, but Wando is the only school in the lowcountry (that I can think of right offhand) that has both teams sit on the same side - not sure why they do it differently from everyone else.
All I know is that making Irmo and Wando fans sit on the same side is somewhat dangerous, and just asking for problems. Last year, it was a full-time job for the a.d. and his helpers to keep things from getting out of hand.
For me, at least, if it's a choice between fan safety and the center ref having to run a little more, that's a no-brainer. Maybe there's something else that has not been considered - I just don't know what it is.
