Miners home games relocated

CONTINUED roof leaks at Selkirk Stadium have forced the relocation of all remaining home games in the NBL1 South season to the Buxton Minderdome.

The move will affect five home games as well as any finals matches. The Buxton Minerdome has reduced seating capacity and current members will be given priority access for tickets.

The broader community is encouraged to purchase tickets in advance as tickets are expected to sell out.

Basketball Ballarat CEO Nev Ivey said despite ongoing maintenance, moving to the Minerdome was the most responsible course of action for player welfare, competition integrity and the experience of patrons.

“While we are naturally disappointed that we cannot host the remainder of the NBL1 season at Selkirk Stadium, the safety of players, officials, and patrons must come first,” he said.

“The Buxton Minerdome is a highly respected basketball venue and will enable us to continue delivering a high-quality game-day experience for our teams and supporters.”

Basketball Ballarat will work with the City of Ballarat and stakeholders to complete rectification works.
