Newcastle opened the doors for a full day of basketball at the Vertu Motors Arena, from U12 games in the morning to the senior women at night: https://t.co/vGuSr5j9IF
@JohnAmaechi I am looking forward to seeing what measures FIBA now takes to restore regulatory integrity and promote sustainable governance of men’s basketball in Great Britain.
@JohnAmaechi Yes, I saw he had left for personal reasons. Wishing him good health. I can imagine it is stressful having a task force from FIBA, an ongoing court case, and allegations of illegally awarding the licence. This combined with little if any support from basketball fans in the UK.
@saintpat1962 I wouldn't mind him resigning but would love a proper independent panel and review of his behaviour and to review if any of his actions are infact criminal in nature. He said in an interview judge him on summer 25 performance. Well it's been diablocal so far.
@britsdontjump@Prophesy_Scout Enjoyed the first 2 episodes. I've made a recording of @Prophesy_Scout saying something positive about Newcastle too 🤣🤣
Be good to have a chat and tell you what were planning with the new Eagles fan association - Eagles All In too. Going to share your podcast on our page
@JohnAmaechi@Dan10PAFC Appreicate the response, and it's an open offer for future but rather than pain you if you dif want to have a conversation I would happily give you a view from an SLB fans viewpoint.
There are improvements I would like to see but last season was great from my perspective
@JohnAmaechi@Dan10PAFC Give you a chance to speak with some of the thousands of fans and young people who are the future of British basketball. Help inspire them and use your influence positively and get people working together rather than what appears to me as an outdated viewpoint
@JohnAmaechi@Dan10PAFC@JohnAmaechi Also, I would love it if you came to a Newcastle Eagles game as my guest with myself and 2 daughters. See the love and passion for basketball they have from the club and being part of c.3000 kids that play with The Eagles community foundation weekly.
@dan_routledge Dan what a night. Don't think there was a dry eye in that room.
Immensely proud of our club, thay group, Mark, Paul, Sam and the whole team.
That documentary was amazing and brilliant showcase for British basketball 🏀
The fact that the BBF sat on a licence decision from Feb until it was too late is disgusting.
I am also sure that offering money to persuade clubs to join could constitute a bribe given the context of the situation.
The BBF are immoral, untrustworthy and incompetent
