So one thing we can't do is blame the hall
Need to get there early and get used to the place and the lines and the light and deal with it
No doubt sharks are getting used to it big time
Really need to get our heads right for this and if so we can come through it

Doubt Sharks will have any use of it any more than Riders. It will be in use most of the time and thus the Sharks wont be able to practice on it I doubt. The only advantage is 2/3 of players have played on it before. Brooks and Robinson etc will be as befuddled as Watson and Wright to the 45 different parrallel, vertical, hooped, striped and zig zag lines! it is the same for both teams. Baskets never change height though

Managing to cut down Brooks' effectiveness will be key so our defence will again have to be spot on - Robinson had a really good game against us and I'm not convinced he'll repeat that tonight to the same extent. If Watson & Bernardini can play their A games then I think we'll be okay. Otherwise, it'll be goodnight Vienna and hope that Sharks stuff Eagles in the final! (Sour grapes, you say? Never!)

We need more three points to drop ourselves As much as Sharks are a very tough team to beat So are we. So let's not forget that. Two very tough teams out there. Only one winner. A good team gets knocked out of the Trophy today one way or another. I did say a while ago would much rather play Wolves than Sharks.

Not the best start.
Problem with the bus. 1 hour 40 mins late leaving and now stuck in a big traffic jam and we've not hit the M1 yet.
Still in Loughborough
And this is the bus the players are on!
Knowing M1 traffic on an evening we won't reach the venue til 6.30pm at this rate.
We were due to get there 4pm.

Look on the bright side. If you turn up late the big hall will probably be empty by that point....

It's ok everyone. I have now arrived at the venue. Unlucky for Footlocker in Meadowhall that ive no time to go and spend a small fortune there before the game!
Players had to jump off by roadside as no time to park and in a hurry to see the big blue hall!

If I can post a photo I will!

Post it on twitter then embed it. Riders have been given 50 tickets of the 300 which is pretty generous to be fair
