TR and Statman, how many Power supporters have a passion for the Crows and vice versa? I doubt they would be supporting the opposite side if one collapsed. Its not about a passion for basketball, its about a passion for the team you support. How can you argue that Brisbane and Sydney supporters should travel west or to the Gold Coast. The road trip is irrelevant.
Most of the reasoning behind both the Kings and Bullets leaving can be traced right back to the governing body of the league and their below par promotional attempts at getting the league noticed.
Had the league been better promoted, financial and licensing issues would have never occured in the first place.
Hope the NBL commission takes note of this and realises the entire problem with both clubs falls directly on them.
This is bad news. I guess it is at least somewhat of a consolation that they didn't fold due to Kings type circumstances, although, the fact that no one else could be found to take over is a bit of a kick in the teeth.
