If he sells it to Sam Shahin I'm claiming "you heard it here first" rights on the announcement.

Shahin has owned the team and made all the decisions since around March. It will become official in the next week or two.

I guess the truth that Mal was Eddy's puppet will finally come out.

If the Sixers are for sale and it's connected with Groves, why do you guys get longer to find a buyer than we did in Brisbane?

Please Eddy, sell the Dome to someone who loves basketball. NO HAPPY CLAPPERS, it would be such a waste of a great BASKETBALL stadium.

it is a completely different situation.

The facility that the team plays out is owned by Eddy and has the potential to make money where as the Bullets would have just been sucking cash with limited to no upside(hence no buyers)

Also there was the deadline set by the nbl that the licencee ( groves) would had to commit to which meant fundng the team for a whole year.

Different circumstances here

What is the chance of the dome staying the sixers home?

I'd really like to know what the situation is because I'm concerned about
(1) the future of the 36ers
(2) the future of b/ball in general
(3) the fact that I've paid in full for my season ticket

Lets hope that any new deal that gets done, is subject to decent scrutiny because lately the high rollers have caused enough damage.

Sixers have many people who wish to buy them. They aren't losing money and they don't have problems with sponsorship or crowds.

They got sold before due to BASA being incapable of running the 36ers and the juniors.

Second time would be because of Groves losing millions of dollars.

The reason i ask is,im not sure if the team and dome will be sold to the same person.
Perhaps the new team owner may not see both as a good deal and opt to rent the adelaide ent cent instead?
Most people would like to see the sixers stay at the dome even if they had different owners.

The 36ers do not make money. They were part of the reason why BASA fell over.

Only a smart businessman with a passion for basketball and deep pockets will be the right person for the team.

Sucking up cash/ no upside?
You talk like you're an expert on Brisbane and basketball!
What a load of crap!
If you take out the extremely generous amount of seats taken away from public sale by Eddy for ABC staff in prime seating (mostly) and other sponsors, all of whom don't seem that interested in ball, the Bullets turn out to games is pretty darn good thanks very much.
The lack of interest in sponsors attending games yet chew up valuable seating is not, and never will be, an accurate statement of crowd turn outs in Brisbane.
Sorry, but you are 100% wrong on your apparent expert opinion from all the way over in Adelaide!
