Given the current situation British Basketball is in at the moment, should your club be doing something like this ? newcastle-eagles.com/tag/eagles-nest-in/Personally, I think it's a great idea. We don't know how long the lockdown will last and I believe it is important for clubs to stay connected to its fans and remind them that come sept/oct, it should be business as usaul (I hope) Had a quick look around the other club websites and couldnt find anything similar. Maybe, people on here that actually work/volunteer/talk-to their club on a regular basis could suggest it to them. I'm pretty sure, most of us young and old gits on here love to know whats happening with explayers in a podcast environment. I know I do !! ... Just an idea!! ... Be well, be safe and take care ... Peace  |

Yeah plymouth are showing there 50 point trophy loss to Leicester and there 48 point trophy loss to mersey I was at both of them ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ The only final I missed (including the play-off final weekends) was the win in Newcastle! Maybe I should give it a miss if Raiders ever get to a final again. |

It’s not only the matches Eagles are adding nostalgic comments from ex Eagles - great to see TJ, Jeremy Hyatt, Fab etc reminiscing before each match. Keep it up Eagles !!

Yeh Rocks media team can't even post a website article properly. I doubt they'd be able to do a podcast.

Yet to persuaded that the rocks still exist. Other than duncan and a fellow shareholder or two posting the odd thing through whatever channels i still stand that i dont think anything is known from the pre Duncan era. Or is it a censorship of blocking out the past? Theres so many great games overtime win against lions. Comeback against nix in the trophy (yep that game). Where as the only think mentioned are games from this season...

Really impressed with a few clubs and their content most notably riders flyers and scorchers. |

Did it mention the numerous drug bans? Or expand on how they managed to sell the franchise and then get it back by magic?
Anyway, part one of Leopards' history went online today. This should keep me busy |

It's like your teacher told you you had to do a project on a British basketball club and you thought you could get all the information from the clubs website. I give it a D-

To be fair there is a lot to to admire from Mike Burton.
It’s acknowledged that he’s always had input into the organisation and was successful and competitive through to the end of the Paul Smith era as coach. The junior set up win and reached national finals.
What the mini documentary didn’t expand on is it was his chairmanship that saw multiple changes of coaches
Despite the one off bbl cup win the team has failed or struggled to make play offs despite a fairly sizeable player budget.
Contracts have been broken
The junior set up has regressed as well.
The general manager disappeared then reappeared a couple of years later without any explanation though it’s fairly common knowledge as to why.
The commentator regards him as a messiah! Refers to the legacy of his ex pupils being coach and GM. Another prase for legacy coukd be’jobs fir the boys’

I give it a D- Seems a bit rushed to there's no way you could fit a history on any team into just 2mins. Done properly though it wouldn't be such a bad idea.  |

Its 13 minutes long (still not enough) but yeah. He did keep calling it to 4 trophies or quadruple rather than jet wash which makes it clear he doesnt have a clue about their history |
