Kevin Brooks - why isn't he still playing?

There's an article in the Daily Telegraph today (and on The Advertiser web site, possibly in The Advertiser itself?) about the Sydney Kings' struggle to retain crowds:

Why can't the Kings get a crowd

Mentions that despite two consecutive championships and a minor premiership (and championship chance) this year, the attendance has dropped year on year since 2001/02 (down from 6000+/game to under 4500/game).

"Kings chairman John Kench puts the club's crowd problems down to the move back into town and the club's inability to play regular Friday or Saturday night home games because of the popularity of the Entertainment Centre."

The decline comes despite cheaper ticket prices (please, 36ERS, don't use this as an excuse to not try the same thing! With $15 tickets, you got 6000ish. Without $32 tickets, you had under 5000 for a finals game.)

"To say we are not concerned wouldn't be saying the right thing." Chuck Harmison, NBL GM.

Gee, talk about carefully phrased!
