Article in hoopsfix about this. The aim to have a professional basketball team playing out of Belle Vue. Not looking to take over the giants.
Anyone got any idea whose involved?
Mentions there being 5 dedicated basketball facilities in the city. Berle Vue, Amaechi Centre I’m guessing the ball halls in Bury and Stockport. Don’t know the fifth one.
I’m guessing giants simply couldn’t afford to play at Belle Vue. The city struggles to support one professional club so can’t see another being created.
The city not doing too bad at junior level with magic sitting top of all 3 premier divisions of the male section. All teams top in the under 12 section.
Mystics top or 2nd in 14 and 16 prem and mid table in 18s prem
Some decent positions for giants too who tend to lose their better players to magic.
Men equal 4th in div 2 with a lot of under 18 players. Apart from the pro team in the bbl Manchester basketball seems pretty healthy to me.
I understand the objective re a professional club playing out of Belle Vue. Not sure how that’s likely to happen unless any sugar daddies want to offload a load of money?
