Anyone going to BBL matches this year?

[Samuelsson]

As the title suggests really, just wondering if you'll be going to your team's matches, and what teams they are?
I live in Leicester so I'm going to start going to watch the Riders games, really good value for money I think, probably get myself a jersey as well, get in the spirit of things, as the Foxes (Football), Tigers (Rugby) and Lions (Speedway) are well overpriced! Could make for a good night out.

What do you think?

You'll enjoy going to see the Riders. A great crowd, good atmosphere and this year a really strong-looking squad. The "stadium" is old and ramshackle, but it is OK. My son and I follow Riders, even though it is a bit of a trek for us (me from home in Warwickshire, him coiming down from Uni in Nottingham). Hope to see you there - and bring your mates.

I haven't been to a BBL game since the Giants folded, but I'm thinking about changing that this year.

With potentially no NBA games to watch I'm looking elsewhere for basketball, and going to GB games over the last couple of years have reminded me how much fun the live experience is. It's not easy to see a game when you're in London and don't drive, but it looks like getting to Milton Keynes and possibly Guildford would be do-able.

So I'll probably go along and see if I enjoy it, but I won't be cheering for any team in particular until the Giants return next year!

Been along to anywhere yet Matt?

It is my intention to at least attend a few. I cover/check out the BBL far less than I really should.

Hoping to cover it a little more extensively on the site this year via video, but we'll see how it pans out.

Not exactly the easiest to access games from London Sam it has to be said, although London Leopards do play Leicester Riders on November 11th in the last Trophy game.

I'll be going to as many Durham Wildcats home games that work will allow. Already got the big foam mit

Been going to Eagles games for the last year and a half now, and i'm still really enjoing it. The atmosphere seems to be getting better and better at Sport Central. Long may it comtinue.
