GIANTS FORCED TO MOVE

By on November 2, 2018

Manchester Giants have been given two months to find a new home.

It has been revealed that the BBL club’s existing base at Trafford Sportsdome is to shut at the end of January 2019.

The last game currently scheduled for the venue – infamous for its hideous concoction of floor lines – is against Bristol Flyers on Sunday January 20.

In a statement, Giants said: “The club would like to assure supporters and sponsors that it has been aware of this and considerable steps have already been made on a solution.”

It was previously announced that the club would move into a new 2000-capacity arena at the start of the 2019-20 season, part of a £35million development at Urmston, in the borough of Trafford.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
