Tigers back in NBL, 8 team comp starting Oct

Needless to say , I am desirous of going to 14 games at the Dome, this summer.
Goorj - unlikely to look to Australia, anymore - seems China is his future.

Bring it, I rthink your stats are a bit wayward - the Dragons averaged just over 5000 to games at Hisense arena - which I believe led the league (Sixers led league in regular season, I think).

This was no doubt helped by 5 games against the Tigers (average 8000 ppl), but even without any games against the Tigers they averaged just below 4000, which while a little disappointing for a Melb team in a big stadium was only below Adelaide, Townsville and Perth.

I is a happy camper, I is. Glad we're moving forward. Gotta say - I'm massively impressed with Sengstock landing in the hottest of seats from day dot and performing.

Huge respect.

Yea i guess its now the Dragons who are now left out in the cold by themselves, tried to pull the power card along with the tigers and bring the league down, didnt work, obviously the tigers had enough sense to come back in, i doubt the dragons will ever be back now, no reason for BA to beg them to come back now, and it would cost them a nice license fee id say if they rejoin in the future.

Do you think that McPeake, created this all himself to get rid of south and steal all of the melbourne fans for himself?

Hard to know what has happened in the Tigers camp. There seems little doubt that McPeake was defeated, but it seems he is still on board. No question the commitment by Fox to return to 2007-2008 levels of coverage, with minimum two games every week plus playoffs, helped get the Tigers over the line. Pretty sure their spending will be largely reduced, enabling them to return to the black financially. The faction in the Tigers that wants the team to be part of a new start for basketball that builds from a solid base has won out, and that is great news for basketball. Interesting quote from McPeake that the Tigers will work very closely with Bball Vic and local associations does anyone know if they will have a formal role with the Tigers? It would help cover for the loss of any owners that dont support the new model. Still, great news and lets hope the increased tv coverage allows clubs across the league to regain some ground sponsorship wise.
