First day default often means licencing problems- plus I presume it was a shield game and they were not the only ones to withdraw lateish (so did Liverpool)

Sorry to say that the only news is to say that the Bye was given 3 weeks ago to the Mets, no drama's involved.

Excuse me if I'm thick, but why did you pull out of the Shield ?

All this hype, but they're missing one crucial thing: Actually playing basketball. :worry2
Good candidates for the BBA.

It's so good to have a basketball organisation in Birmingham that we can all be proud of (again!).

Oh well - it's given me quite a laugh at least.

Judging by Facebook there actually was a game at Gloster on Saturday which Team Birmingham played well in but lost despite showing plenty of spirit

Odd that it still says 20-0 on EB then

A possible explanation would be that they were't licenced, so played it as a friendly.

After all of the hype smf press releases regarding "signings", it's amazing how quiet it's gone now :notlistening

At least thesportsagent has learned not to give an ill advised kneejerk response to every adverse comment now.

Having now seen the "report" it appears that maybe not all of the lessons have been learnt!

Well if EB told them on Friday, how can it be an 'Admin Error'????
EB would have just sent an email with the licence details on, which is normal practice if players are registered on time but before the cards can be sent.

Can anyone smell the BS ?

I've been running Leopards for six seasons, and have taken care of all the paperwork regarding signings. In that time there hasn't been a single "admin error". If there's a problem or a query they email you immediately. Basically, if you're on the ball and don't to try to pull a fast one, they will do anything they can to help you.

But, if by the second week of the season, you haven't got eight players signed, then it's down to the club. After all, if those eight players who played against Gloster had never even trained together, when did they sign the forms ?

Unless of course it's an "EB admin error".
