Gutted for Christensen. That's just s**t.

Surely the club would be the first one to break any significant development?

I switched it on too but after a couple of minutes with nothing I figured it must be a Brisbane centric report. Keep me posted guys.

Just finished

Springfield is the main contender for the facilities, will cost 35 million, nothing official yet. Women's team would play there, games would stay at Gabba for men's team, Dan Merret thinks it's about time it happens

 

[Black Magic 02]

False alarm. Bit of a rehash of our "New facilities" thread actually
"It is understood..." etc.

I'm with Dan.

They did show some pretty pictures of what it might look like. Looks very cool.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Here is the Springfield story...

 

[fanackapan]

Sounds like a SLC campaign targeted at public opinion and state/federal politicians

Here is the Springfield story...

Who is the "one of Brisbane's biggest sports franchises"

Surely not us

 

[dlanod]

Who is the "one of Brisbane's biggest sports franchises"

Surely not us

To be fair we're almost definitely in the top 4 or 5.

 

[briztoon]

Is that the Ipswich mayor? Did I hear him say "I can't wait for the chicks to come."

Women's team.

Edit: Now known as the "Chicks' team", apparently.

 

[CarloLion]

Is that the Ipswich mayor? Did I hear him say "I can't wait for the chicks to come."

Yeh I'm struggling to see what he meant by that. chicks come home to roost or something maybe he meant?

 

[Mr Ripper]

Chicks gettin' kicks

That video is several years old. The new proposal is enhanced over that. Boutique stadium setup with an eventual social club as well. Also a corporate/community hub for our partners (MDA, Hyundai, ACU).

Oh wow, I'm even happier then. Cheers TBD

Still sticking with the MDA? I can understand why considering locations like Springfield, Ipswich, Logan etc are usually where fresh immigrants move to. Would be a better place than the airport in that regard.

 

[Nunez]

But the millennials may have to move from bulimba

[WhiteLionFeva]

We just need something that will help develop and keep our players and make us a club of choice for A grade trade targets.

And that isn't at Springfield.

 

[Hollow Knight]

And that isn't at Springfield.

I'm quite reliably informed that the perception of fans as to the mood of the players on the location of the facilities is not exactly on the mark. They are heavily involved in the process under Noble's "players have ownership of the club" approach.

For most of them it is a non-issue. They really don't care. Playing at a club that is perpetually on the breadline however, and limited in its ability to provide them with the resources to get the most out of their career is a much bigger talking point. Springfield solves that.

One of the reasons (not the only reason) we have issue with player retention is the poor quality facility we have right now. Compared to other clubs, our facility's are embarrasing. The players are screaming out for something that is current.
