Should 6ers play home game in bris or GC?
Just a thought but would a good way for the 36ers to build the club and supporter base be to play a home game or 2 in Brisbane and/or the Gold Coast and try and embrace there fan base especially given we have Joey and half our roster has played NBL in the Gold Coast and Joey and Gibbo were apart of the Bullets title. Could be an opportunity to take on a few extra fans, sell some merch and draw a big crowd whilst getting a whole crowd of new supporters to see a 36ers home game.
Not sure if it would work financially, but if hiring the venue, etc was at a decent rate could it even be a bit of a money maker, give these 2 cities without a NBL team a game to attend, would we get a decent turn out?
Maybe you could get the NBL or people involved in the Bullets revival to help fund/promote it as its a good way for the fans in these cities to show the NBL they can support a team by packing out a stadium for a game or 2 a year.
Might be a crazy idea, but just a thought, AFL clubs have sold games to places like Tassie, Canberra and made some good money, could the 36ers do this given their QLD connections with the team? Especially if it turns out to be a profitable exercise, are there 5-10k supporters in these cities who would pack out a stadium for 1 36ers game each per year? If not then a team in these cities wouldnt be ever viable would it?
