Just wanted to confirm that I am giving these floor boards away, no money required but they are unsigned, un-framed etc.

wat are the apollo floorboards exactly?

Wasnt it the stadium before the Dome that the 36ers used?

Sorry, showing my age.

Yes it was the venue used by the 36ers prior to The Dome. It was built back in 1969 hence the name "Apollo" around the moon landing time.

Was a great venue for basketball, one court, 3000 people, crowd was so close to the court and the floor was great to play on. I miss it...

I'm shocked - sacrilege that you don't know what the Apollo Stadium is

.. next someone will ask who David Spear is :-\

Come on people!!!

I'll second SVD.... I was speechless when someone asked "what are the Apollo floorboards". Gotta be school holidays...

I surprised Ben Fitz doesn't take them all and redo his house with them.

His house is built from bricks - has a lot more of those. ;)

(Anyone would think that you just set that up for me!)

I have seen both of you shoot and all i can say is that you would be helping many team mates win many rebounding titles.

Isaac that goes for your dunks too.

Thats right i went there!

And just so you know i hae one hanging on the wall above my desk already.

what colours are available?

and there's no one to check the IP address of this "coincidental" set-up ;)

Fitz and bricks go hand-in-hand, sort of like cookies and cream icecream. Just a good mix.

in light of Ben Fitz(?) comments, could you please confirm if these timbers are to be used for flooring or wall cladding - personally i think timber cladding for a walls went out in the 70's?

He does make a fair point - I am the worst shot in the history of basketball. Can't fight that.

There has to be some footage somewhere of Isaac dunking....

See what you have done Forman , now dubs is in on the action.

Dubs cladding is in your heart, you know it , set it free.

That is iron clad.

BW, they would look great with a few signatures on them and then mounted on display on a wall in a frame behind glass. Sort of like an autographed cricket bat.

Could also use to as a great whacking stick...

There is TR and it is not pretty, kind of like your shooting style.

I leave you to chose the weapon.

there's an iron for sale?

David Spear if you have sold them before for $800-1500 why don't you sell them to help fund the Hoops show on Coast FM?

I have a quantity of floorboards from Pasadena stadium available that I would like to give away. Some are in better condition than others, some still have original line markings on them, others just the duct tape that was used to repair them.
They are not signed or framed or anything but many do have holes already in them to make mounting them on your wall much easier.

My choice of weapon isn't a lump of wood regardless of how many nails you can drive through it, plus if you swing as well as you shoot there would be heaps of air...

Can you run faster than 3000 feet per second?????

Next time I'm in Adelaide it's paintball time, bugger Halo, there's no pain in that unless it's watching you play.

Didn't David Spear host the Hoops show on Coast FM?

123abc, the floor boards I am talking about are not signed etc. therefore their value is minimal. The signed floor boards that the 86 Sixers signed have only been used as chairty auction items. If I used a few of those to fund Talking Hoops that would be considered private enterprise and whilst it may be good for basketball in this state, it was not in the spirit to which these floor boards were signed by the players. Anyway, the Sixers, Lightning and BSA should shell out $2k each and get Talking Hoops back on air. They wouldn't get a better promotional vehicle for $2k each....

It that promotional vehicle or promotional tool?

POST OF THE MONTH goes to Rex Hunt

Do any of the Pasadena boards have markings from where the lights fell?

David, I would like a piece, most definitely.

Also, heard Mr Newley has the old gates from Apollo too?

Anyone have any of the old Forestville?

IT SUCKS
