For those who saw "The Man with Two Brains" I think they're a bunch of Azaleas.

Is "Cymbidium" BASA speak for anyway we can make a dollar, we will..........even at the expense of the game we are supposed to be promoting?

Whoever has allowed this to happen needs to revisit the constitution and what the role of BASA is.

Hello............how please tell does this promote the game of basketball?

.. you only rent the stadium out when games are NOT scheduled . It IS a BASKETBALL stadium .
People are entitled to complain when BASA does not prioritise the sport that it is in there to administer.

Get a life!

AH BASA....you've done it again!

i am not BASAs greatest fan but i am sure that they would have considered the implications of this decision and money is critical to basketballs future in this state. My damn orchids are not flowering...I may have to go to that damn flower show myself. If they gave the flower show court 2 and then let basketball go on it would have beeen marketting genius a creative cross code promotion.

well said skyhook.

I find it a little insulting that our governing body has put the sport second behind a quick dollar.

Flower Power

Don't Forget!
BASA changed the 36ers game from Sat to Fri so that it does not clash with a probable Crows final.
What happens to all of those junior games from Fri night- Play them on Saturday night when the crows game is on

The outdoor court at the primary school around the corner from my house would be an option. It's only a 3/4 length crt, one of the rings is locked at 8.5 foot, and the other is rotated slightly to one side of the court (tip - shoot your threes from the left!).

More stadiums anyone?

Stuff the plants, just move them to the side and hoop it up. The extra oxygen will help both teams get back in defence.

Please insert bball icon because that was a funny comment!!

(Mod: Glad someone found it funny!)

Re (#47295) What a load of crap!

As I posted in another thread, again, one of the BIG $$ss making businesses (Juniors!) for BASA is STUFFED and SCREWED around.

BASA appears NOT to give a rat's arxx for the players (metro & country) or parents who GIVE them the money, or the coaches or volunteers who all may have things planned for the mooted "Fathers Day" weekend!. If they make SSOO much money from renting staiums, let them do it full time and we will all grow sucky orchids, crappy camelias, tulips and pansies for the xxxxxxx flower shows... hey thats it!... FASA Flower Arrangers of South Australia!

Maybe even use the FASA flowers on the Cemetary plots for the goose brain who did the Port stadium rental, and for the jerk(s) who shifted the 36ers game, and maybe decorate the 6rs change rooms with them so they smell nice when they are sweaty! Better still, lets send a load of magnificent FASA flowers to the Crows and Neil Craig and say "Just because we love you guys more, and we know you would do similar for us!!"

Bah! Humbug! Have a good day. I am.

:P

If BASA want to make some serious money from plants why don't they close down Port Adelaide for 3 months and grow a crop hydrponically of the old hoochie coochie?

3 courts would net BASA millions!!

Close down ALL BASA stadiums from November to January and they could pay the Powerhouse debt off by February!!

Not funny Mod. Which Mod posted that pic?

(Mod: Me.)

Seems to me that BASA already have been doing some home-grown cultivation...

...We change our girls into Fellas and then we have a Flower Show in a basketball stadium.

Somebody better send the Drug Squad down to Crittenden Road. You don't see the Botanical Gradens hosting basketball tournaments, although now i've said it, stay tuned!!!

Botanical Gardens... DOH!

(sorry to any Gradens out there.)

Say, the port market might be looking for a new home - woo baby!! BASA could grab that one too!!! They could have the fruit and veg at the Port, Old bottles and crap at the Dome, and Used Basketball Shoes at Hillcrest (cos there wont be any damn basketball being played!)

The re-scheduling for a possible home final for the crows is not a bad move. But the flower show ahead of the primary focus of the organisation seems to be wierd. Unless the clubs and teams were consulted, this should have been prevented or even find stadiums with social comps and make reschedule to another venue on the same night.

Think before acting.
