This should be the catalyst to push for another smaller ground. But I doubt it will ever happen.


"Big clubs" need small grounds?


Why then doesn't Victory use the MCG?


Because I heard on the grapevine MV is planning to build a mega stadium like no other that holds 150,000 people.


We'd fill it week in week out \:d/ \:d/


Try filling in AAMI week in, week out first.



Lol you have zero right to lecture other clubs on crowd numbers pauly. You lost a few games and suncorp become a ghost town.


:lol:

Ignoring your exaggeration lil ol' Scotty, that is why I'm suggestion a smaller ground to the one with 52,500 capacity. Just like Victory.

That assumes Suncorp would be happy to see there summer tenant go and then come back whenever it pleases them.

Won't happen.

There's a lovely little stadium an hour down the road that you've already whored out home games too. Why not do it again?


Not in Brisbane. Same owner. Too expensive.

Anything else?


That didn't stop your club screwing your fans for a cheap buck and playing there anyway.


Just like MV switch from one ground to other hey, I get it now :lol:


Lol the stadiums are literally 10 mins apart. Zero comparison to selling off home games to make a quick buck. The sooner you accept that you're club is so much of a circus that it's actually worth less than Melbourne Heart the better.

MELBOURNE: The owners of three-times A-League champions Brisbane Roar have only days to clear their debts or risk losing control of the financially-stricken club.

Roar, owned by the heavily indebted Bakrie Group, an Indonesian mining and telecoms conglomerate, have been under siege from creditors and behind on player payments.

The owners met with Football Federation Australia chief executive David Gallop last month and were told to recapitalise the club urgently.

"At this stage the current owners have indicated they want to clear the debts," Gallop told reporters in Melbourne on Wednesday.

"They've got quite a short period of time to get that done. A matter of days, not weeks.

"We would certainly like to see all the debts cleared as quickly as possible and make sure that the club's in the right shape for the start of the A-League."

The opening round of the A-League starts Oct. 8.

It was unclear whether the FFA had set the owners a deadline but Gallop last month threatened them with the withdrawal of their A-League licence if the debts were not cleared quickly.

Roar have been the target of legal action from a number of different parties, with the Queensland Rugby Union filing a court action in July to have the club wound up over alleged unpaid rent at Ballymore, their former training base.

Former coach Paul Mulvey, who was sacked six months after leading the team to the 2014 A-League championship, is also suing the club for deceit and misleading conduct regarding alleged contractual problems.

Australia's national players' association said on Wednesday that Roar was up to date with wages but still owed players more than a year's benefits, including pensions, medical expenses and appearance fees.

The Bakrie Group, the first foreign owners to hold a majority stake in an A-League club, took over Roar in 2011 after the previous owners handed back the licence to the FFA after burning through millions of dollars.

gees... now some guy named Paul Mulvey is sueing them too...maybe I should as well ?


Ahh, another David Gallop deadline - and if the Bakries don't meet this one he'll stamp his foot down only with his angry face on this time; that should work Mr. Gallop, that should work !!


Show us one statement that confirms Gallop provided a deadline date? This is the closest he's come yet with legal considerations uppermost in the strategy.

Wtf is taking them so long anyway? Are they still asking for $10million or something equally stupid?


I don't believe they have any buyers. Its a bit rich paying 5-10 million for something that going to cost you 2 million a year and has massive depts to pay. I think if there is any buyer the bakeries are asking to much (trying to save face) while the buyer is going wipe the debts and im not paying that for a loss making business.

Maybe nickk's FFA/MV conspiracy is true after all considering how much they want this circus to continue.

MELBOURNE: The owners of three-times A-League champions Brisbane Roar have only days to clear their debts or risk losing control of the financially-stricken club.

Roar, owned by the heavily indebted Bakrie Group, an Indonesian mining and telecoms conglomerate, have been under siege from creditors and behind on player payments.

The owners met with Football Federation Australia chief executive David Gallop last month and were told to recapitalise the club urgently.

"At this stage the current owners have indicated they want to clear the debts," Gallop told reporters in Melbourne on Wednesday.

"They've got quite a short period of time to get that done. A matter of days, not weeks.

"We would certainly like to see all the debts cleared as quickly as possible and make sure that the club's in the right shape for the start of the A-League."

The opening round of the A-League starts Oct. 8.

It was unclear whether the FFA had set the owners a deadline but Gallop last month threatened them with the withdrawal of their A-League licence if the debts were not cleared quickly.

Roar have been the target of legal action from a number of different parties, with the Queensland Rugby Union filing a court action in July to have the club wound up over alleged unpaid rent at Ballymore, their former training base.

Former coach Paul Mulvey, who was sacked six months after leading the team to the 2014 A-League championship, is also suing the club for deceit and misleading conduct regarding alleged contractual problems.

Australia's national players' association said on Wednesday that Roar was up to date with wages but still owed players more than a year's benefits, including pensions, medical expenses and appearance fees.

The Bakrie Group, the first foreign owners to hold a majority stake in an A-League club, took over Roar in 2011 after the previous owners handed back the licence to the FFA after burning through millions of dollars.
