I guess the question is CAN'T or WON'T?I'd be disappointed if I were a Roar fan.
Splashing cash for Cahill, helping out the richest club in the league by a country mile. All the while Roar can't pay their players.
I think it pretty clear Suncorp is killing the club. It's far too big a stadium for the majority of their games.The things is roar should be one of those clubs that basically run themselves.
Regular crowds between 12-20k in a large city with plenty of rugby stadiums around if costs need to be lowered.
If ccm manage to survive there is no reason for roar to go under for any reason than poor management.
Exactly what i came in here to say. I don't have a particular source as it was ages since i last read about it, but Brisbane pay the highest rent. That im sure about.I think it pretty clear Suncorp is killing the club.

Apparently its also one of the worst stadium deals in the HAL.
The fact the club moved ACL games to Gold Coast highlights that.
I don't get why all parties (Brisbane, FFA, QLD Government, Ballymore management) don't come together and spend the money to get Ballymore up to scratch.
Surely some investment there would be a win for everyone....except Suncorp of course!
I'm no Brisbane expert but there is a train station near by and it's not very far out of town. There appears to be a lot of ovals around that could be used for parking as well.Exactly what i came in here to say.

What i think is right but not sure of, is they need to get like 16k, even possibly a bit higher than that, just to break even on matchday.
I think Ballymore is the right size, but iirc completely away ftom the city centre and public transport is minimal. I think its basically a surburban ground with no pubs and restaurants near by.
Yeah exactly, beggars can't be choosers.I'm no Brisbane expert but there is a train station near by and it's not very far out of town.

Obviously it's not perfect, but neither is the situation now.
I believe Ballymore isn't a lot cheaper than Suncorp, partly as the cost of policing, state levies etc remains the same and apparently is rather hefty. The stadium rental itself is a matter of negotiation which could well occur. Certainly the complaint from Roar supporters that it is difficult to reach is a bit rich.I think it pretty clear Suncorp is killing the club.

I know little about brisbane, but are there any state rugby league stadiums centrally located that house around 15k people? Even if it were partially grassed surely that woukd be a good option.I believe Ballymore isn't a lot cheaper than Suncorp, partly as the cost of policing, state levies etc remains the same and apparently is rather hefty.

IndeedI think it highlights how well aufc management has done in a much smaller market. We consistently break even or there abouts ( not including all our recent transfers) and have our own training facilities.
