The future

With Worcester Wolves stepping up to replace the Birmingham franchise in the BBL in 2006 ^[1], many former Bullets fans have adopted the Wolves as their new team, but basketball's future in the Midlands took a turn for the better early in 2007. The British Basketball Association, a proposed professional league set to rival the BBL, announced Birmingham Athletics as their second franchise for the 2007-08 season ^[2], on February 19, while a month later on March 23, the BBL announced that a new franchise had been awarded to Birmingham ^[3], also for the 2007-08 season, called Birmingham Panthers.
