A Townsville RSL Stadium 1/40-48 Murray Lyons Crescent Annandale, QLD, 4814 P 4729 0091 F 4729 0080 M 0418716728 E admin@townsvillefire.com.au Petition To the Australian Broadcasting Commission This petition from North Queensland citizens draws the attention of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation to its decision to exclude coverage from Townsville from its free-to-air coverage of the Women's National Basketball League. Townsville is the only WNBL team to not have home game television coverage. The Townsville Fire has the brand new Townsville RSL stadium as its home base. This $15million stadium was funded by Federal, State and Local government to provide a state of the art stadium to regional Queensland. The stadium is regarded as the best WNBL Stadium in Australia and is drawing regional crowds of 1,600 per game (average) - more than double the average crowd to a WNBL game nationally. The Townsville Fire is a competitive team, currently sitting fourth on the WNBL Ladder, the Fire has enormous community support and we wish to see our home games televised in the same manner as every other team in the league. The Townsville RSL stadium is eminently suitable for television broadcasting. We respectfully ask that the Australian Broadcasting Commission reconsider its decision to exclude the Townsville from its coverage of WNBL games.
