HISTORY:

Following the demise of the Birmingham Bullets in 2006, a new franchise, Birmingham Panthers, was formed, and admitted to the BBL for 2007.

Had planned to play at Aston Event Centre, but the venue failed Health and Safety criteria for spectator provision. Ended up sharing the University of Wolverhampton venue with BCU Wolverhampton (of RBL Division 2).

Finished last, with just six victories, and had their franchise withdrawn at the beginning of June 2008.
