Nothing to do this Saturday?

[Swee_82]

Dont you mean - I felt a little spiteful.....

Its ok Jargs - its a big world out there - that means that people are allowed to like more than the Western Force, Sydney Swans, St George Illawarra Dragons and Cricket.

I guess we have found where that South African blog writer was talking about when he said we could be intimidating.

Or maybe Jargs spotted some and gave it the respect it deserves.

i fail to see how it is spam - when its advising us of a WA based sporting team in the other sports thread.

This is Unsolicited Commercial Email (it's promoting an event which costs money to attend) posted by a new member. = SPAM.

Not all SPAM is offensive, doesn't make it not SPAM though.

With a post that reads like a Demtel ad:

Well when was the last time you checked out a live basketball match? Your close to the action of a exciting fast paced match.



The Perth Wildcats take on the New Zealand Breakers at Challenge Stadium 7.00pm this Saturday. Why not head down for a good nights entertainment...

www.wildcats.com.au/ for more info.

and a the user name "Wildcats", it does seem like the whole point of the post and indeed registration is to flog tickets to the game tonight.

Jargs, you don't like basketball. I don't either.
Some people do. Live and let live.

Actualy I don't mind Basketball. I actually played it when I was younger. But that was pure spam, even jono picked up on it.

So yes Exile, I gave the spam the respect it deserved, or are you thinking of heading down to Challenge Stadium tonight?

I was actually looking at the hit and miss rate of teams in the old NSL (just as bad a strike rate) when it occured to me to check out the Indoor AFL

Across from the east, then up from the Airport?

i resemble that remark

[wildcats]

I got a little bored so decided to look into this:

More clubs have come into existence and folded then there have been years of actual NBL competition (32 Teams folding, 29 years of competition)



You left out the Canberra Cannons, Hunter Pirates and Victoria Giants

Actually, Canberra changed to the Pirates then the Pirates changed to Singapore, then Singapore folded. And the Giants folded 6 years ago, I said in the last 5 years.

[jargan83]

and 5 of those 32 teams that folded now play in a semi-pro comp called the ABL?

Although the year I read for the Giants going under was 2004, seeing as it is 2008.........

I was wondering what crowds go to the Wildcats this year in comparison to the WA Cricket team?

[jargan83]

but seeing as you asked......

One day games get about 5ish thousand, which if you have seen the fixtures for the year arent too shabby when the game starts at 11:15am or 12:15am on a Wedensday, but thats the fault of Fox Sports. Before Fox Sports came on board as broadcaster of Domestic Cricket games usually started at 2:30 on a Friday or Sunday and attracted crowds of 10ish thousand. I have wondered what Fox Sports pay Cricket Australia for the rights.

As a side note I do prefer the games on TV because I get to see the NSW side play more then twice a year

4 day games usually get about 1,000 to 2,000 on the sunday (usually day 1)

20/20 or "Girls Cricket" even state games sell out the WACA and draw big crowds in other states. For the WA vs Victoria final last year the WACA put up temporary seating and the growd was a total sell out and even the members enclosure was full
