ABL Start times = No ABL Crowds

had to laugh at "pissed players" last post. maybe ABL players should cover their costs, instead of having a free ride and expecting to get paid... Where dose the money come from for their existance... Juniors, lower grades and club sponsors.
I feel that the game times could/should be tweaked a little it cant hurt... I think there needs to be more promotion, newspaper and radio. I feel that the league needs name players, Used to head to hillcrest back in the day and watch NBL and Olympians line up for their local club. No offence to the current crop of players but they hardly stir the emotion of the old days.

"what is more important?
Junior league revenue or a decent league to play in once players graduate from juniors?"

I'm pretty sure that if you were to ask BSA that they will tell you that junior leagues are their main priority...
I was at the Dome on Sunday and the only reason that I new the game was on is one of the players told me on Saturday. I tried to find out for sure if the game was on and was told that according to sporting pulse there were no games on. Unless you really follow the local league or know some of the players the chances are you would not know what is happening.
