WORCESTER Wolves begin their second season of top-flight basketball with a trip to the newly-formed Everton Tigers.

Following their trip to Merseyside to face the club affiliated to the Premier League football team, Wolves will enjoy home court advantage on the second week of the season when Plymouth Raiders visit.

During the 2007/08 campaign, British Basketball League (BBL) teams will play each other three times because the competition has been expanded from 10 to 13 sides.

The draw has also been made for the BBL Cup and Wolves travel to Scottish Phoenix Honda Rocks on November 4 for their first round tie.

In the BBL Trophy, the University of Worcester-based side have been drawn in a pool alongside newcomers Birmingham Panthers and Sheffield Sharks.

Meanwhile, Wolves have kept their season tickets at rock-bottom prices with an adult pass costing £130 for a minimum of 20 games and concession tickets available at £80.

There has been a £1 increase on the cost of an adult's individual ticket to £8 but concession tickets have remained at the 2007 price of £5.

Director of basketball Mick Donovan said: "We are one of the few clubs to keep prices so low for games and our season ticket price is certainly one of the most competitive.

"This is our way of saying thank you to the fans who were so loyal in our difficult first season, despite the increased spending on improving the team in pre-season."

Wolves are yet to appoint a new director of basketball.
