Message: [QUOTE="BroncoMatt, post: 2100504, member: 1752"] Foxtel are showing all 69 game of the ANZ Netball Championship Live! The promoters of the new comp really need to be comended. The publicty they have generated is fantastic. The NBL really needs to take a leaf out of their book. I've followed the Firebirds for a number of years, and have gone from last year having a few 100 people at game at Chandler to selling out the Convetion centre this year. I admit thier good form (and Romelda Aitken) has contributed to thier sucess but gee it's been some turn around. The NBL jsut doesnt have the balls to act. They would prefer to stick thier head in the sand and act like nothing is wrong and life off the past glories. They dont play by the rule "If it aint broke, dont fix it" They play by the rule "If its broke, lets jsut see how it goes, it might fix it self. It used to be a great product!" Eddy Groves was the Bullets saviour 9 years ago, but he really didnt do much for basketball in Brisbane. I'm a hard core Bullets fan and I had to always search high and low to check when games were on. There was no promotion. The Bullets only promoted two games last year. The Grand Final Replay between Melbourne and the Clash between a Cairns team which included NBA bound boom rookie Nathan Jawai. Both those game sold out. The support is out there. And it's such a family friendly and enjoyable event. I've never been with anyone to an NBL game who didnt enjoy themselves and want to go back. Australian Basketball is a great product it just need to be managed better [/QUOTE]
