I wonder if there’s been any progress on Roar’s new / refurbished stadium they were bravely talking about  few months back. Or was it more hot air from the owner?

I believe they are genuine in their interest and desire for it, as I gladly acknowledge there are a lot of people who have and are putting effort into it.

I am happy to wait for as long as it takes to get it moving.

To me, this is not something to beat up on the owners about.

A-League: Suncorp Stadium will fight Brisbane Roar’s bid to move to Redcliffe

Suncorp Stadium general manager Alan Graham wants Brisbane Roar to honour their venue contract despite the club planning to move all their home matches to Redcliffe.

Having already switched their training base to the Gold Coast, the Roar will very much be Brisbane only in name if they abandon their long-time home ground to play at Dolphin Stadium, which is situated in the Moreton Bay region.

Roar fans are divided over the financially motivated move.While the atmosphere at the 11,500-capacity Dolphin Stadium is far better than the feel of a Roar-sized small crowd at the 52,500-seat Suncorp Stadium, the 50-minute drive from the Brisbane CBD to the Redcliffe ground is a major turn-off.

Suncorp Stadium has been the Roar’s home ground since the A-League’s inception in 2005 and the venue for the club’s three grand final wins in 2011, 2012 and 2014.

Graham said he was having ongoing talks with Roar CEO David Pourre to resolve the situation and hoped the club would honour its Suncorp Stadium contract, which has at least another year to run.

“We’d be very happy to still have the Roar here,” Graham said.

“Hopefully, we can work out something that works for everyone, but we’ll keep our discussions with the Roar out of the public domain.”

Plans for the Roar to play out of Suncorp Stadium – also the home of rugby league’s Brisbane Broncos and rugby union’s Queensland Reds – remain on the table, with Graham having given Football Federation Australia ground availability dates for the new season, which runs from December to June.

Former Roar captain Matt Smith, who led the club to two of their three championships, said Suncorp Stadium would always hold a special place in his heart.

“I can only talk about the experiences and history I have playing for Brisbane, and we had some grand occasions at Suncorp Stadium … it’s one of the best football stadiums in the country,” Smith said.

“I haven’t been out to Dolphin Stadium as yet. From what I hear it’s a nice boutique stadium.

“Being the only club in Queensland, I think it’s important the Roar represent Queensland.

“I understand being inside the city (of Brisbane) or outside the city is a delicate situation, but I think Brisbane Roar will always have an association with Brisbane, especially being the only Queensland club as well.”

If a new boutique stadium in Brisbane is eventually built, the Roar’s potential move to Redcliffe – where they played two games last season – would only be temporary.

In conjunction with Football Queensland, the Roar is pushing for state government funding to build a 15,000-seat stadium at Perry Park, Albion Park or Chandler’s Sleeman Sports Complex

If you notice the on-line article has changed its title now. It’s complete fabrication. 

Action trumps “interest and desire” of which we’ve seen none of yet. 

How easy is it to build a 15,000 boutique stadium do you think? You don’t decide on Monday you’d like one and start work Friday that’s for sure ... 

I agree they need to be judged on action not words but at the same time random posters asking one month to the next “what’s the progress” is pointless as clearly the timelines are not that short. 

No it’s not pointless. Members do NOT constitute all of Roars supporters, in fact are a minority. So it seems fit the club provides public updates to inform the majority of its supporters and for the good of positive publicity to the public. It has far from done that.

ALP romps home ... so what does that mean for a stadium?

Don't worry about the stadium, what does it mean for Paulc?

Well it doesn’t stop me from going to the resorts and whilst it is a disastrous result it means little as neither party have done football any significant favours. On the other hand the club should at least provide updates even if there are no changes to the circumstances. That’s just good PR unless it’s all hot air.

Troisi and McDonald up front. DWH and Muratovic both sitting on the pine? At least one of the latter two strikers should go to find more game time elsewhere.

No no no to Troisi !!!!!!!

offers nothing to us. 

AU trying to offload him even tho they've lost a number of players. 

Doesnt that tell you something.

troisi in a Roar shirt .....Horror !!!

+100
Troisi in a Roar shirt is a horrid thought! On par with the Roy O'Donovan signing (which they thankfully fixed).

I have never liked Troisi - maybe it is simply because of Victory - but I have never seen Troisi under Moon's coaching.

I would like to think that the skill Troisi possesses may yet be consistently unlocked and applied with somebody's guidance. Hopefully Moon could do that - especially having been proven as a coach where you can't just buy a winning team and have to work with what you've got to some extent (unless NPL is not like that at all).

Do not like him, but would be prepared to let him prove himself in orange if it came to it.
