liberals promise netball sa 1.6 mill

news tonight reports this - if I was exec for BSA i'd be on the phone to my pollies finding out what they promise BSA ! - or will we just roll over yet again.

i love basketball so much i would vote for any party (within reason) if they supported BSA.

ok so it is vote getting by the parties - but it is support at a governemnt level - that will provide employment and modifications / updates to the sport.

unless tyou still want to be playing in marion, hillcrest and port stadiums in 50 years...

Cringed when I saw this on the news. Our "chief basketball enue" is in the hands of receivers and netball gets $1.6 million. Go crawling to the libs, get a small amount of cash (perhaps the same), let's keep our Dome cake and eat the City Stadium too. It's a no brainer, folks.

gotta get off our duff and find out what they can promise.

i'll spew if we roll over with at least not canvassing the parties what they can offer.

new facilities provide a community focus, profile, employment and pride

It would seem there is plenty of cash for AFL; Soccer; netball & cricket; however Basketball is the poor cousin once again.
The reason?

The original poster may have alluded to the problem by saying "if I was exec for BSA i'd be on the phone to my pollies finding out what they promise BSA"

The lights may be on but there aint no one home.

You can flog a dead horse but don't expect speed. Basketball is not a major sport and probably never will be because the infrastructure is so expensive and there is no career path especially for women. Netball is the sport of choice for female athletes and basketball for the heavier variety of women.
