we could not support two teams, we are having a hard time with one at the moment. How about the 2nd class'

What about Adelaide Turnups?.
They will never have a crowd 'turn up'. Time to put this idea to bed.

Cant see anthor team ... Surviveing
how ever if they did manage to become cheaper then the sixers and iron out some of the major problems the sixers have ....


But really putting a competive team on the floor would be the main reason...

Cant personally see it happening

Maybe the Adelaide Chicks!

With the new development at the Port, there's plenty of room for another stadium, Docklands style.

Give the Bearcats a licence I say.

Starting 5 2007

PG - Brad McKinnon, fresh out of rehab for a fairytale comeback

SG - Mike McKay - returns to NBL purely to taunt DC. Wins inaugral 3 point shootout at All-Star game

SF - Paul Bell - As CEO, Captain and Coach, Belly puts himself on the perimeter, only using the drop step for game-winners.

PF - Shane Crothers - he wanted to play, and no one had the guts to say he couldn't. Peter Ali off the bench

C - Big Willie Simmons. Every team needs a player with goggles.

We are definitely running out of 'good' electricity related names for another Adelaide team.

Can't do Power, Lightening, Force...

How about the Port Watt's?

Other potentials are the Port Capacitors, Southern Resistance (could work, its nearly as lame as the Force or Power), or Northern Generators (I think we already have some of those at Port Augusta).

i like the sound of sturt sabres, what a great name

As much as I am a Woodville person, having Sturt as a second team entering the NBL isnt that silly. They have a lot of the facilities and infrastructure in place already, they would just need to get used to doing it in a bigger version. Question with that though would be what would happen to the 99.9% of the 36ers who are Sturt people??)

Who would the Sixers pick their squads from ? LOL .. would there be a club of origin rule ?

see if Isaac bites ?

i got 3 names that i reckon would be good:

Southern Spooners (for the wooden spoon they'd be getting)

Southern Scrubbas (for the only people that the team could afford when the NBL keeps cutting salary cap)

Southern Smackheads (for the people who think that a 2nd team in a town as small as adelaide would be financially viable)

Yeh there sponsorship, they can get it from a cutlery company.

The Southern "Spoons R Us" Spooners

By the way, you say its not all about money, but without money, sports teams dont exist. Especially for new ones, they need big money to get something running, theyd need massive sponsorships and big ticket sales.

Or just someone with money to play with.

Let's stick to the one team, put all our resources into it and make it one great team instead of two mediocre teams. It would not do justice to Adelaide to have two mediocre teams that would never win a championship. If you are to have a 2nd NBL team, you need to make it NBL calibre. That may take away from the team we already have. You would also have to apply the same salary cap which Adelaide is not equipped to cope with at the moment. Without the same salary cap, you wouldn't attract the players that would make it competitive.

Why do people want a new team? Are you that indifferent towards the 36ers that you could just desert them for another team.

Having another team here would suck. It would never draw the support away from the 36ers, it would just dilute the ever diminishing resources of basketball in the city. And it would fail.

Sorry guys, I couldn't think of a worse idea.
