If the Lions think the Cup Final is being played at the Copper Box, my prediction is that they won't win the Cup.

@saintpat1962 @hcshaw13 OK. But it was unusual at the time in the autumn that there was a reported pay dispute and then their pay was published for the first time in the appendix of the operating rules. That then felt like SLB didn't want those previous referees back.

British basketball's civil war appears to be over, with the BBF set to go into administration. Basketball England expected to take the reins and British refs allowed back into FIBA fold. No official confirmation yet but could come as soon as today. cityam.com/british-basket…

@hcshaw13 @saintpat1962 The article above is about when British referees/British Federation were suspended by FIBA. That's passed. I thought that separately SLB refs were on "strike" about their pay & conditions. While some have returned, maybe the ones who haven't aren't yet satisfied? That's a guess.

@saintpat1962 the tweet above is from November, apparently the refs have been available and willing since then..

Hilariously Lions now appear to have rescheduled the Surry game to 19 March and have cancelled tickets bought for 20 March Good job guys
Joe Honour@TheBlindPigPod

The @LondonLions to play at the NCC 20/3 & potential to play at Crystal Palace in the @SprLeagueBballM Semi Final home game! I was critical of how this was handled previously - great to see more notice, option to buy tickets and alternate facilities ✅

If anyone from @LondonLions could confirm that people can leave the venue between the womens and mens games on Wednesday, it would be really good. I'm presuming we can, as people will need to eat, but would like it confirmed.

@JohnHobbsTB @bballengland @gbbasketball @J_T_93 If they don't wanna hand over the website I kinda understand that but the social media handles just seems like such a small deal. The Scottish & Welsh Associations must be really mad that everything GB is being published by England!!! Thanks for the reply though, appreciated!

@UKBballWatcher @bballengland @gbbasketball @J_T_93 Unsure to be honest as I left my freelance role with the BBF in June. But in previous experiences with firms in liquidation, it could be that the company that is handling the liquidation/administration process has access to GB’s social media accounts and won’t hand it back.

@TheLionsRoar25 @londonlionsw This is tokenism of the highest order. If they were serious about International Women's Day, the Women would be playing at 1930 and the Men would be shunted to 1530 on a Wednesday afternoon. Or the games would be closer together, so Glads weren't having to depart at a silly time!

"Let's celebrate International Women's Day by getting our Women to play at half three on a Wednesday afternoon, when anybody who works can't attend the game anyhow." London Lions management, probably. (If they were serious about IWD the Men would play at 1530 and the Women 1930)

@Prophesy_Scout That's a failure of the BBF though for granting the league a maximum of 6 import players/team. It should be 4 (or ideally 3!) so there's always a British qualified player on court. That reduction would also allow the development of more Brits, which is meant to be what a NGB does

@Prophesy_Scout As long as SLB-M remains a TV league (as evidenced by giving the games away for free despite having to pay for production costs) then they are going to prioritise American players (who pull in transatlantic TV viewers) over domestic players who don't pull in as many TV viewers.

@TheBlindPigPod @rhunt321 While Joe has made clear what's happening to the Playoff SF, Lions haven't published this publicly themselves. The post tonight was vague on April fixtures too. Please don't take this as a snub Joe, but if Joe can publish this information comprehensively, Lions can do that too.

@rhunt321 @TheBlindPigPod I'm guessing you got this from a mailing list email Joe? Again, that's absolutely cool, but the club themselves should be publishing this publicly first (like on the website or socials) and not on a closed list first, like a mailing list. It should be somewhere everyone can read.
