New Zealand with some work to do. Looks like the call to arms in the Steel City has worked.


Tigers at $30 for a ticket makes me second guess everytime I think about going. (Except for Sixers games of course! ;)
Whereas last seasons Dragons tickets at $19.95 a ticket, never even second guessed going, just went.

Melbourne's venue location also means that it is difficult and time consuming to make the trip from the Eastern suburb's - basketball's heartland in the Victoria.

Gold Coast are doing lots right off the court at the moment and hopefully the team keep performing well at home and the crowds build steadily.
The GC United Soccer team is unintentionally helping as well with their obscenely rich owner thumbing his nose at the grass roots fans and treating the team as his own personal plaything (remind us of anyone) Fans are def being turned off the soccer because of his attitude and basketball is looking like a great option for familys wanting a good night out
