Perth likely to post $1 million profit

I have seen Wildcats players at my local ex primary school and have seen appearances at my local shopping centre.

Bowtie: Perth is pretty geographically spaced out too, so the Wildcats might take 1 1/2 hours to get to some locations around Perth.

They also do a lot of visits to PMH (the Childrens Hospital in Perth)

I've been thinking about this for a while and no it isn't an April Fools joke but with Dr. Bendat looking like the most frail person on the planet...

Is it time he bought the Wikdcats their own private plane?

Wildcats travel over 100,000 Kms every season, so if they can travel out of away games the same night instead of waiting the morning after for a return domestic flight and also with added leg room and many other benefits you'd think that maybe this is the next step that the Wildcats could be taking.

If they are travelling up to Townsville like they did this season on the same flight as the opposition then maybe they could help them guys out too...?

Or even the West Coast Waves?

I don't want to offend anyone but with such a frail looking owner this circumstance could be taken away immediately at the passing of the good doctor so it's just a not so well thought out suggestion.

As for listening to its members, whilst they have in many circumstances. I still don't see any Saturday night fixtures on the horizon :-(

One interesting comment from the article from Marvin is that he admitted they had lost players because of their community focus. 350 hours a player per year is a lot of community work and obviously it works to get kids involved in doing their school work and learning about Basketball.

Some of the others above me are right, the Wildcats have benefitted a lot from Jack Bendat.. a lot.

The points I like are that the Wildcats organisation obviously do a good job of reviewing their strategic plan, understanding their audience and they engage their local community, very clever and pretty simple really, just good business practice...

i love what the wildcats have done,a while back i suggested that for basketball to THRIVE in oz it needs to go back to the capital cities(only)with 1 or 2 teams in each city sharing 10/12k seat stadiums,no salary caps,no points system,short seasons,attracting ex/future and present NBA players etc
