NEW NBL 10 Min quarters

Similar to Thomo above I have bought multiple season tickets(two for the last 10+ years and prior to that one since 1986). If the number of home games played reduced I would be looking for some reduction in ticket cost on a pro rata basis. Would probably accept 10 min quarters easier than reduced games at same cost though.

Simple value for money analysis.

FTA tv interests me for away games, particularly OneHD. I have enjoyed the NBA games I've watched.

The other considerations regarding sponsors etc. really do not interet me providing they do not detract from the over all product. I know they are needed to support the team and I'm happy to consider purchaisng thier products as a result of sponsorship. I do preference Pura milk products for example.

Of greater interest at the moment is the structure of the new league. Needs to be done in time to allow teams to recruit players and not some stop gap product until the real one comes along. We've had this for a while at Adelaide, what with the financial collapse and sale, imports being axed etc. leading to an unstable product. However my enjoyment increased last season. Happy to rebuy season tickets next season but it depends on changes.

My 2cents worth.

Great argument, Would player payments per year have to drop also? as well as season tickets?

If there are about 14 EOIs... I wonder if you could have a D-League running along side ?

No-one likes change man and i hate the idea, but what did we expect?

The sport is all but dead, maybe we gotta just give a little to get a little....

Lets just hope that the L figures they owe us more games per season as a way of making up for lost time????

Same charge for less product. Seems in line with current marketing methods.

Heard Gaze say, in the media , that he'd like to see 10min qtrs. I'm pretty sure it will be.
Maybe suits FOX rather than basketball fans, travelling to game, getting a park, getting in, buying some food. Then leaving feeling flat......
thinking FOX is better than attending.

May make it more attractive to a media deal though? Can get a game done and dusted within 2 hours that way.

Games may not be high scoring statistically but doesn't mean teams won't play in an offensive minded manner just because the quarters are 2 mins less in length...
