We Lions fans are a disgrace!
Did we know who he was at that point?
Couldn’t be sure because it was a while ago but I actually think he come out before the game, before the full crowd was even there? Might be wrong.To be fair, I was at that game and don't think I left my seat at half time. But I had absolutely no idea what was going on. The audio was horrendous and I literally could not work out where the various dignitaries were being dunked. I don't think anyone was really paying much attention at all.
Everyone though that tbh. If Jackie Trad wasn't forced to resign due to conglict of interest, she'd probably be Premier now. Miles is good as an attack dog Minister but Premier or Deputy? Absolutely not lolDon't get me wrong i thought Miles was a weak link for Labor as deputy premier and he certainly has not improved once he became leader.
The Quirk report.Not long after the Kirk report was released the Victoria Park model came out.
If the opposition gets in they have said they will have a 100 day review so 3rd of February 2025 should be when we find out what is happening re a much needed new oval stadium for the Olympics and post games for AFL and Cricket.Are we just in a holding pattern until state elections are over?
Maybe the Olympics should be shared around the country make it less expensive
At this point I can't get behind anything that leaves the school standing. It's a matter of principle.Build vic park
Keep gabba until after olympics (can be used for soccer) and then demolish.
Leaves school and some of oval as parklands. Build some apartments and recoup some money.
Noone displaced.
That's what most annoys me about the Gabba plan getting scrapped. Opponents to the plan did all this stuff basing it on saving the school and then have done nothing to help the school solve the actual issues it has in that location.At this point I can't get behind anything that leaves the school standing.

Did Education Qld officially call off the planned move of East Brisbane State School to the Coorparoo College grounds?That's what most annoys me about the Gabba plan getting scrapped. Opponents to the plan did all this stuff basing it on saving the school and then have done nothing to help the school solve the actual issues it has in that location.
What would you like them to do exactly? For what it's worth, Jonathan Sriranganathan offered a reasonable plan to keep the school in place and expand it, even when the Gabba rebuild was still planned (take over the commercial land on the other side of Wellington Rd, move the school there, build the new stadium, then after the Olympics are done, allow the school to use the heritage buildings on the stadium side and build an overpass bridge to link the two).That's what most annoys me about the Gabba plan getting scrapped.

Would you like to perhaps explain what's wrong with the plan outlined above?Jonathan Sri hasn’t offered any reasonable plans in his entire life.
Too busy lying in the middle of the road blocking access to children’s hospitals

The Lions themselves have been their own worst enemy imo - we can hardly get to games anymore so there's hardly any chance for me to convince my daughters to follow them.....yet they are silent about it & the desperate need for greater capacity.A new 55k stadium can be built in the shape of Adelaide Oval and Carrara, allowing for a temporary (or even permanent, further down the line) seating capacity increase to 75k.
This would obviously be the best outcome for Brisbane 2032, and the only reason it might not happen is because it would inadvertently help the AFL/Brisbane Lions.
Yes, every change costs money. Some things that cost money are worth doing.
Yes and building a much needed new Oval stadium would be worth it as well.Yes, every change costs money. Some things that cost money are worth doing.
Which is why I maintain that the Gabba is the best place for a new Stadium.Yes, every change costs money. Some things that cost money are worth doing.
The current site is just no good comparative to Vic park; Quirk himself pointed out that the site can never be a tier 1 stadium so why spend billions for a tier 2 stadium?Which is why I maintain that the Gabba is the best place for a new Stadium.
It would affect us greatly for an extensive period but I still think it is the best site.
Do we really need a tier 1 Stadium???The current site is just no good comparative to Vic park; Quirk himself pointed out that the site can never be a tier 1 stadium so why spend billions for a tier 2 stadium?
Not to mention what ever was built there - which would be limited to 50k odd anyway & require major excavation works meaning it can't be used for years during the build - would not be expandable either.
A Vic park stadium can be built with expansion options given it will not be land locked by major roads.
Other major Aus stadiums exit via parks just like the MCG....far more suitable for large crowds than 4 busy roads with people crammed onto footpaths. Whilst it would be nice to retain the historical connection to the original ground, its just not a suitable location for the tier 1 stadium we deserve here.
