The Wollongong Hawks continue to play a waiting game with the NBL.While the Save the Hawks campaign is still short of the target figure of $500,000, the fight for survival is moving forward with a full head of steam.Campaign leader and Hawks captain Mat Campbell said an interim board of directors was nearly finalised and a business model was almost completed.But the NBL is yet to notify the Hawks if it is either satisfied or dissatisfied with the club's Expression of Interest (EOI) to be part of the revamped league.It has left Campbell hoping the rescue scheme is on track."We're in the dark as much as anybody and we're pretty anxious to find out where we stand," he said."They originally told us seven to 10 working days and it hasn't been quite that long yet, but hopefully they'll tell us something in the next few days."We're moving forward as though we're going to be in. "We're working hard on the corporate packages and making season tickets more affordable for families, because that's what most of the feedback on the website (www.savethehawks.com) has been about."Ultimately it's a case of the more membership pledges we receive on the website, the cheaper we can make tickets. "We need those pledges to keep rolling in," he added.Campbell said people signing up for new membership will go into a draw for a signed Hawks singlet if they forward the email addresses of three friends.NBL legend Andrew Gaze, a member of the board for the new competition, last week claimed "some clubs" had asked for an extension to finalise EOIs.The seven-time MVP also revealed the league had received "two new submissions" from clubs that did not compete in the 2008-09 season.It is understood one of those submissions was lodged by a Brisbane-based organisation.Gaze said he hoped the Hawks would survive and gain a place in the restructured competition."I've got no doubt the community ownership model they're trying to establish can work, but it's an ongoing process and it needs a lot of ongoing support," he said."Hopefully they can raise enough money to provide the working capital for the short term, and beyond that the question is how you make it sustainable, which is why the corporate support is very significant. "From a (NewNBL) board standpoint, it's vital to have some sort of economical security because it's very difficult for owners when you're always battling for your next dollar."Meanwhile, Campbell and his long-time team-mate Glen Saville will take part in a State of Origin charity match for former NBL player Brett Wheeler on Sunday week in Adelaide.Former 36ers coach Phil Smyth has recruited several past and present stars to help raise money for Wheeler, who is battling an incurable liver disease.Former Bendigo juniors Campbell and Saville will line up with the Victorian side against South Australia.
