Lightning Money Problems
Props to the Pythonesque allusion BA
(See- you’re one of them too).

Heaven help us if the Judean People's Front (not to be confused with the People's Front of Judea) get involved.

Hope they sort it out.

"Lightning are RIP end of season best case unless one of the following happens:
BSA take it back over run it cheap. Team struggles
BAdel take it over, run it cheap. Team struggles
Private investor takes it over, loses $100k - $500k a year, team has success depending on cost. Private owner gets no support, no sponsors because they're a private owner."
Basketball Adelaide - owners of the 36ers - already own and operate it. You can't take over what you already own.

girls numbers are better this year than the last year or two

even if it is $0 entry - you can't be playing junior games and going to the Lightning at the same time.

so much money being spent on womens initiatives around the place - surely the Lightning can be kept together. Having games on junior nights surely keeps the gate down.

Might be the same . SA Government is closing MAC , next year ... well , that aint far away now...

What would be the budget breakdown of this team, I know half a million doesn't just go to the players and Lucas wouldn't be getting $5. Need to spend on players to be competitive but better to slash the budget and survive than overspend and fold.

Gotta feeling Lightning are gone . Hope I'm wrong .
Remember that 36ers _Titanium Stadium owners don't wanna go on with Lightning anymore and MAC closing down.
The Crows and SA Government having a look at it .

Because they have a heap of bills and their main income source won't be there next season?
