I drove past Murarrie Recreation Reserve the other day and it again struck me that it would be a good site. There's not much there except for some partially-maintained soccer fields and a small skate bowl. I haven't seen it on weekends, but it seems very underutilised. More than enough space for two ovals and other facilities, close to train, main roads/freeways and where the players currently live. I wonder why it wasn't considered seriously.
Live just down the road and there are plenty of areas like this on the east side as I am sure there are within 20km of Brisbane. Dissapointingly the BCC obviously don't want to help. GCCC and also numerous other councils in Vic come to the party. It is a bit head scratching really but does show you where our game ranks in Qld.
