Probably best to give that one a miss anyway!

There's a tigers Vs bears 1993 game on YouTube at the pit. The leisure centre walls are all covered and the pit is dressed up like I've never seen it before.

Must have been for the sky cams.

Brilliant thanks.

Would be good to see anything from Guildford Heat between 05 and 09 too.

It appears Martin Gottfried has upload two more Towers games.

Towers Vs sharks and Vs eagles. 1998.

I loved the Wembley days. Even Wembley court I loved as a venue. Those giant player posters were great.

Also watching these games back reminds me of how much Neville Austin used to frustrate me..

I used to feel the same about Neville Austin. Capable of a silky move in one play but would drop a simple pass the next. Good player but definitely frustrating.

James Hamilton was the main frustration that season. He didn't really have the skills for the position he was being asked to play, but also didn't seem to try very hard to make it work either. It was obvious early into the season, and Cadle made a few comments in interviews during the year about him needing to come to play and be more productive. I always wondered why we didn't try to bring in someone more suitable.

Tbh I quite like the name Lazlowoodbine!   He's needs something like this as an avatar that's for sure!
 

Definitely. He had so much ability, always got the impression that with a bit more dedication he could have been playing at a much higher level.

Does anyone know why the league decided to change to the white and tan colour ball in the first place? Did Baden just offer them a good deal?

Close up the ball looked good and it handled well, but as a fan watching I always thought it looked a a bit cheap compared to the "normal" coloured balls that European leagues and the NBA were using.

Sorry - I read that wrong, thought you meant why the league went away from it.

I seem to remember reading a piece that was about visibility of the ball to fans - found that the white and tan was more easily seen in a crowd than the plain tan.

Towers Vs sharks 1999.

One of the most talented Towers teams, but also one of the most disappointing. Watching this back now Lino Frantin seems to have zero respect from the players and they are a mess offensively looking completely out of sync. Maybe something to do with the late addition of Randy Duck who paired with Danny Lewis didn't really seem to work. Although both obviously were huge talents.

I remember being at this game but didn't recall Randy Duck and Terrell Myers going at each other so hard. Randy gives Terrell a elbow at one point and both are verbally abusing each other the whole time.

It's funny how people remember things differently. My memory of that season is struggling initially for chemistry but things picking up gradually when Randy Duck came in to replace Eric Kubel. Watching that game back I got the impression a big part of it was the relationship between Duck and Lewis.

Definitely think the players not believing in Frattin was an issue that season, but by the play offs I thought there seemed to be a grudging sort of respect between them all. Given all that it was a big surprise when we rehired Lino a few years later. Obviously Rick Taylor still had faith in him so maybe he thought the players caused more of the problem than Frattin that year, but it didn't work out anyway as he was then sacked mid season!
