Isn't this true of lots of products? Coca-cola and Guinness are two that come to mind, and yet both have spent hugely on advertising for a century.

And the Glads' kit is even worse 😅

(It's also a bit reminiscent of England's Euro 96 grey kit)

As the second half wore on, particularly from early Q4, I was sat there thinking "I can't make sense of the minute distribution and if Richard doesn't say something about it, I'm going to ask him about it"

Today felt like a game where coaches didn't fully know their squad, surprisingly. Unfortunate

Nothing wrong with The Donkey Sanctuary!

Annerley Road?

I was in attendance so I don't know if it could be seen on the broadcast, but Sam Ashby was in attendance in a team tracksuit, even if she wasn't part of the twelve.

Maybe they're rotating over the course of the three games this week? Dunno.

Per the online map, there are 16 exhibits at the Uni so went there first. 2 didn't exist (both had signage telling you what should've been there); saw 11 & were underwhelmed so gave up on the last 3 in frustration. WP also something & nothing; so after 3 in the centre, caught a bus back underwhelmed

Don't bother going to either the University or Wellington Place zones; both were highly underwhelming.

I don't agree? There's four sets of basketball medals at an Olympic Games, Britain still being able to qualify and compete for three of them is hardly an Armageddon outcome.

I'm kinda staggered you think this is the Armageddon option from FIBA, when FIBA have left BBF to still oversee the vast majority of their competences. It seems to me a pretty mild punishment by FIBA.
October 14, 2025 at 5:58 PM
Well that would appear to be FIBA's perspective.
October 14, 2025 at 5:52 PM
But FIBA has said the BBF still has a job to do with regards oversight of 3x3, Senior Women and Junior Basketball. It's only Senior Men where their oversight has been withdrawn.
