A Lightning move is a possibility
The Adelaide Quit Lightning will stage games in Whyalla next season.
Boti Nagy spoke further with owner Vince Marino:
"Apart from what we got from the Quit sponsorship, the team received better corporate support from the Whyalla area.
"We have more sponsorship from around here than from Adelaide.
"We don't want to move the team (permanently) to Whyalla but with the stadium being upgraded, we'll see what support that generates."
Marino said the Lightning belonged to South Australia and there already were plans to stage some matches in country regions such as Mount Gambier, Millicent and Broken Hill.
"We reviewed the year in Adelaide and (on-court) the team was fantastic and very successful," Marino said.
"But the financial result was very poor in Adelaide."
An Adelaide venue for the Lightning has yet to be confirmed, with the Distinctive Homes Dome and ETSA Park under consideration. Either may prove too expensive.
