Don't treat others the way you wouldn't want to be treated.

Leave this Roar supporters thread scottyboy.

I love to smell farts

Keep away Tards

Classic Tards. Won the double last season. Stole our best player. Yet they still come for more. i think they're nervous. They've realised Berisha couldn't hit a barn door with a brick. With no striker they'll miss the 6. ;)

:lol:

You hit the nail on the head. It took us a season to turn things around last time and hopefully it will change again for this time too. That's the calibre of this club compared to Melbourne Victory who spent 6 years in the doldrums.

After we've faced Nix away, Adelaide at home and then SFC away I'll be more confident of knowing if we've turned the ship around. Agree it only took a year last time which was primarily because the players on the squad were generally good enough and (sounding familiar) it was off field distractions costing us. Same this time around I think only we'll need to do it all again with another unproven coach. Sunday first though, really important the players back-up the Wanderers performance

Yep, agree with all that. What I'm going to look forward to and study is the way we play this counter attacking game and generally our system of play. Broich said we are getting better and better with the "new system"? This could take a little longer if that is the case or is it practiced enough now to be a success? Interesting times.

FEARS that fan fury could lead to a shockingly low Brisbane Roar home crowd on Sunday have eased, with a five-figure attendance tipped.

Supporters’ anger with Roar owners the Bakrie Group had led to low membership renewals and talks of boycotting games. There was genuine concern only a few weeks ago that the crowd for Sunday’s clash against Central Coast could be similar to the paltry 6148 that attended the Suncorp Stadium clash between the teams last season.

However, membership numbers have increased in recent days on the back of an encouraging fan forum with Roar coach John Aloisi and Brisbane’s first-up 3-1 away win over Western Sydney last Thursday night.

Ticket sales in the 24 hours between Monday night and Wednesday night were strong and suggest that a crowd of more than 10,000 will be at Sunday’s game, the second match of a double-header that starts with a W-League battle between the Brisbane women’s team and Canberra United.

The Roar are hopeful of topping last season’s home attendance average of 11,660.

While it’s still too low for Brisbane’s liking and short of the break-even figure, it’s a number the club won’t sneeze at after their tumultuous off season.In further encouraging news for the club, players and staff are set to be paid on time on Thursday in another sign that the Bakries are committed to restoring the Roar’s financial credibility.

Further talks are expected to take place on Thursday about David Pourre becoming the club’s permanent chief executive officer. Pourre has held the position in an interim capacity after former managing director Sean Dobson walked out on the embattled Roar in May.

Discussions are also continuing with a host of local identities as the club bids to form an advisory board and appoint directors once an audit is completed this month.

Former Roar defender Josh McCloughan’s official addition to the club’s coaching staff is set to be ratified within days.

McCloughan, who worked with Aloisi in the off-season, is set to replace John Sime as coach of Brisbane’s National Youth League team.

The forecast "11,500" in there for the attendance is probably only a thousand below what we'd expect normally for Mariners any way right?

Is McKay coming back for Petratos or Lustica? Money seems to be on Dimi making way but I'm not so sure?

Dimi was a passenger last game and Broich didn't impress. Unless these guys together with our left and right backs pick their game up we're in for an ordinary time this season. Mackay is vital that he takes his place in the team this Sunday as a small step to rectification.

Be interesting to see if Hingert stays at RB

Yeah but this stef last season, we still have polenz.

Doncs is back this game so we have a far better CB pairing of north and doncs.

It's the first game everyone is rusty.

Donks has been ruled out this week according to Alister Nicholson from abcgrandstand.

Yea sounds about right.

Betting 12,000+

Too much late interest. Won't be surprised if it hits the 14 or 15K which would be amazing for a CCM match.

Yep, agree with all that. What I'm going to look forward to and study is the way we play this counter attacking game and generally our system of play. Broich said we are getting better and better with the "new system"? This could take a little longer if that is the case or is it practiced enough now to be a success? Interesting times.

I suppose they couldn't stand another season of complaints. All that will get undone though as soon as the concerts begin then it's back to square on. So what's that, about 4 games on a satisfactorily prepared pitch?

Roar are giving away free team photographs and players will be available to sign them between 3.15 and 3.45 ahead of today's game (assume it's not the playing squad lol ;) they're pulling out all the stops on fan engagement lately ...

Nice, just about to head off. Enjoy the game lads. Carn ROAR!
