Anyone want to talk Townsville football?
To kick things off then just like to say how impressed I am with Riverway (Tony Ireland Stadium) I have been involved at numerous leagues around the country and this is a first class facility that I hope will build the profile of Aussie Rules in the Townsville Community.

I am coming down from Cairns for the rep game this weekend and really looking forward to seeing the facility. We are very lucky up here with our grounds they are first class. I have heard the new one in Townsville is outstanding. Lets hope we see some good footy this weekend.:thumbsu:

i went and checked it out a few weeks ago. Great ground although a little hard and needs a good water. Lets hope next yr that both Cairns & Townsville get NAB cup games on seperate weekends so we can see both games.
How are the ex Cairns boys going down there
Buller for Uni
Jurgens for Uni
Bailey for lions

Yes Riverway is a little hard under football but a fantastic regional venue for football.
Buller is playing well for the Hawks playing as a on baller half back type not too sure who Jurgens is (I am new to Townsville though) Bailey has only played 2 games and has been suspended for quite a while for what I hear was a very ugly incident against Hermit Park

So you doubt that there will be a sixth club in 09 then? I've only heard rumours didn't realise it had been speculated about for so long. I'm new to the leaugue this year though.
