TROPHY NEEDS NEW HOME
This season’s BBL and WBBL Trophy finals have been switched away from Glasgow’s Emirates Arena, it has been confirmed.
Changes in some of the Scottish Government’s elite sport Covid protocols recently forced the cancellation of the UK indoor athletics championships at the venue.
The Emirates has hosted the showpiece since 2013, including last year when the final between Newcastle Eagles and Solent Kestrels turned out to be the conclusion of the domestic campaign as Covid took hold.
But British Basketball League officials will now look for a new venue for the games, with Manchester or Worcester thought to be the front runners.
“We haven’t decided on an alternative,†said BBL boss Andy Webb.
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.
