BBL On The Rise
- Comments: None
The British Basketball League (BBL) has confirmed they are able to get their 2020-21 season underway following assurances from the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) that appropriate support will be made available to those spectator sports affected by the Government's announcement that fans would not be allowed back into sports venues from 1 October.
When the Lockdown occurred in the UK, the players from the B Braun Sheffield Sharks quickly departed and the programme was put on hold. In the build-up to the new season, the Sharks started putting a new team together and decided to make the announcements on Facebook every Wednesday evening at 7:30. I had the great pleasure of making those announcements.
