Yes we do need a team in Newcastle, but if there was, it would only last a few seasons, just like the Pirates, then it will be gone again.

We could raise all the money you want 4 the up-coming season ahead, but survival wont happen, next year we will be scraping the bottom of the barrel and just meeting deadlins, thats not good enough.

Newcastle can not support a team, this town is a footy town that drinks VB and eats meat pies in the rain, Newy is scaired of chamge, and brining back an NBL team is a big change 4 them yobbos.

Some of the scammers around like Butch Hayes and Jeff Blandon will ruin it 4 the good people like from Newcastle Basketball Acc. I really like Clint Doggs announcing and DJing at the games, I also went to the club he was playing at after every home game.

Put a team in yeah, but 2 or 3 seasons later, it will be gone again because we can not support a team in this town atm.

Yeah bring back the Kings, Cannons, Falcons, Hawks, Rollers, Bullets, Devils, Supercats and all the other teams that folded. Put them in the same league as the 1s we got now, but with an extra import to compete, but with different guidelines as to the salarycap, but keep the cap the same 4 current teams. It wont matter if these teams get flogged the 1st few years, at least it will be a National league, and not just the richest teams in the land. Foundation teams with their own stadiums so they can rake in the profits and not have to pay to host games like the current teams do now.
