Leopards to remain at Wodson
Leopards have announced that they will continue to play some home games at Wodson Park during the 2008/09 basketball season.
The Big Cats have secured the use of the Brentwood Centre for ten games, with the remaining fixtures taking place at the Ware venue.
There had been doubts about the club staying at Wodson following disappointing crowds last season, but general manager Dave Ryan is pleased that they are remaining at Ware:
“It’s a nice venue to play at, and we’re looking forward to staging some games there. Obviously we won’t be there as much as last season, but hopefully the people who only came to a few games will aim to see a higher percentage of our home fixtures.
“We really do need bigger crowds to make the club a success. No one likes playing in a half-empty venue, so we’re hoping for a bit more support this season.”
Leopards’ first game of the campaign at Wodson is on Sunday October 19 when they will host either Division Three side Oxford Brookes University or fourth division Richmond College London in the second round of the National Cup
If they make their expected progress in the competition, they will also play at Wodson on Sunday November 9 and Sunday November 30.
Sheffield Arrows are the visitors to Ware on Saturday December 13, while Reading Rockets arrive on Saturday January 10. Division One newcomers Cardiff Celts are the visitors a fortnight later, while Leopards’ last home game of the regular season sees the Big Cats host Derby Trailblazers on Sunday March 22.
