WHY NEW YEARS EVE

good one stumpy,smuggle in alcohol,gr8 thinking on ur part,i spose your one of the idiots who tries taking alcohol out at 1/2 time at games,what a great plan ,lets try and lose the liquor license for basa

I've always been of the thought that the NYE game should start earlier, around 6-6:30pm.

Thus giving people plenty of time afterwards to head to their respective parties, homes, plan.

Sure still put on a bit of a family show afterwards, but it dosnt necessarily have to run till midnight - I'm sure families would much rather be home after a 6-6:30 good game of bball, some family friendly entertainment and finished by 11pm.

I've been in Adelaide over the Christmas/NYE period for every NYE game and have attended them all, but its always a rush after the game to get into the city/other arrangements for the stroke of midnight.

Alternatively scrap NYE and schedule a afternoon game for NY Day?

Why schedule any games at all on NYE? We don't have them on NY Day or Xmas Day so why not do away with it all together. There are mixed feelings about whether people want them or not but considering many do not and they don't want to waste a game on their season ticket. For that reason, don't have it at all.

hey joe,who is this band you are speaking of??if its the one im thinking of the drummer is not SHORT on experience and does a great solo,one thing though ,they dont provide a meal for the band!!

Being a Sunday game, it shouldn't be too difficult to reschedule it for 3pm so it doesn't interrupt other NYE celebrations. If the the demand is there from the fans, they may do that. It is a problem when there is consistently a game on NYE and partners or other family members are not interested in basketball. It means each year on that night, the family go their separate ways. That is the problem I am faced with and therefore would love to do away with a game on this night.

having been to all nye games since they started i think they are a great way for a family to go out nye. if only the club could promote a special family ticket for that game. i spend a lot of time at work promoting to families that come in to where i work. i thinks its a great night out if you have a young family.

i am slowly watching my son grow up and every year he wants me to take him to the nye game.

bonz i would stand in for you for that night so you could earn some money. i am going to be there anyway regardless.

it does make it harder if you have other commitments nye. i will be watching this thread with interest

please no more nye games,if the nbl had any brains they could have made the games sunday afternoon this year,get to go to the game and then go out and party,will be interesting to see the support the other venues get seeing as everyone plays on ny for a change,not just us
