Well Done 36ers
In the past I have been critical of the 36ers management (I've even sent letters to the owner about it!)
Over the past 6 months however, I think we have seen a real transformation of the 36ers and a definite step in the right direction.
The coaching change, recruitment of SA and Aus players etc... have all been well done and I have no doubt got us all excited about this season.
For mine however, the most impressive thing has been the work done in promoting the organisation.
In the past there has been too little contact with the community. In the last few weeks alone however, 36ers players have been to many schools including Westminster, St. Peters, Fulhman North Primary as well as shopping centres. This is excellent and something I hope we see and hear more about over the season.
Last night however I saw the best part! In the last 2 years I had been frustrated at the seeming media frenzy every time a new recruit for Adelaide United arrived in town (including the 'groupy' kids bused to the airport!) When a 36er arrived however there was nothing!
Last night however we saw a substantial amount of time given to the arrival of Bruce. Its also in the paper and on the Adelaide now site.
This is all excellent work by the 36ers and despite the NBL problems, will I'm sure lead to some bigger crowds at our home games.
So, credit where it is due. Well done 36ers management and keep up the good work!!
