Premier League homecourt finals doesn't work

ok all good then, we'll just put up with cr..
I believe its called apathy.

As my original post stated, the clubs are not at fault, I am not pointing the finger at any club, we all make do with the facilities we have available to us. The point I am trying to make is that currently these facilities are inadequate to support basketball and finals, in particular, both for Seniors and Juniors. Aren't majority of Junior finals held at Wayville and Pasadena?
I am sure there were home team spectators unable to find seating or a good vantage point at recent finals games.
At this point in time a neutral venue makes more sense both for the players (no-one has home court advantage) and spectators.
Remember our Juniors are playing in these facilities and read comments on this forum from so many of you that these buildings haven't changed for many many years.
Instead of attacking each other it is time that we held our governing body, BSA, accountable.
As also previously stated what improvements or plans are in place (for improvements) for any of these stadiums? Is it up to BSA to source better facilities or the clubs themselves? (eg Norwood?)
I know its a pipe dream but in 20 years time I would hate for my children to commenting that these stadiums haven't changed since they were playing!

I have to say I quite enjoyed the atmosphere of the home crowd at Marion on Saturday night. However the lack of control by the referees could have resulted in ugly scenes as one particular "gentleman" almost went onto the court at the canteen end to remonstrate with a player more than once.

I just realised how shit the SA league is, they record points per game and that's it. Every other state league manages to record full game statistics, but Premier League... nope. How pathetic is that.

and exactly my point, club hands are tied because of council restrictions/restraints, heritage listed buildings, etc etc etc

What is BSA/ Hubbard doing to assist those clubs with lesser facilities, other than increasing court hire costs?

Share profits between hosting and competing clubs but make it venues satisfactory for spectators.

Showcase the league/players and the sport, centralise venues,

no disrespect intended but what are the options this weekend, Hillcrest or St Clair

Hillcrest seating for spectators is poor and limited (no fault of North it is what they have to work with), St Clair Woodville well they only ever worry about Woodville with seating on home team side.

Surely neutral venues with profits distributed to all clubs involved is better for the sport than supposed home court advantage?

So your team won did it? with home court advantage?

and you are saying a home court advantage is the only incentive for a team to reach finals?

and that there is in fact a home court advantage?
so why then play the Grand Final at the Dome/Arena/Titanium good grief knows what it is called now.
Why not play at the 'home court advantage" of the team that makes it to the final first?

How about we put the game and the sport first and make it enjoyable for all.

This sport is in dire straits in this state and needs a leadership willing to promote and encourage growth rather than the stagnate sadness we are currently experiencing.

Found this today:

Ballarat Miners today announced that Gold Coast Blaze player Daniel Joyce would join the Miners 2010 line up.


Good for the league? I reckon it will be. I've never seen him so should be good to see if he can actually play.
