Sack Race: The Field Widens

 

GCU shuts down the home end, goes back to one bay seating:

 

What does it mean? Most of the fans sit on the same side as the TV crew, making the stadium look like a ghost town on TV. Only in the derby with Brisbane Roar did we see some fans on the camera side and behind the goal. Are they going to make it a ghost town again?

 

Bring back the fury and let this sorry bunch go, a pretty stadium does not make up for a people that are too lazy to leave their loungerooms, and a rich idiot.

 

Yep, using a bit of push-and-shove in a car park after the derby as a pretext. What a shit club.

 

I really do admire the few fans they have though. Honestly in can't be enjoyable to turn up week after week in such situations.

Relocate to sydney's West..

 

lol what a club, since when does the owner appoint the captain? Is this moneyball on the gold coast?

 

This is Exhibit A for the case against single ownership.

Clive Palmer has managed in three seasons to lose his near-title winning side, destroy any fanbase and drag the league's crowd average and its reputation into the mud.

Buckley and co have to be thinking about licence termination/transfer now. There is no light at the end of the tunnel.

 

agreeeeeeed, bring back the fury, at least they got 6-7000, excusing the 2 odd thousand that do show up, gold coast football fans by and large r pathetic in their couch loving apathy, they dont deserve a club

 

wut

Is this serious?

 

Stingy billionaire simpleton brands Miron a failure

He isn't even pretending anymore, he's actively sabotaging his own club.

 

I told you he wasn't kidding

 

cant blame him, its a credit to the mans good will and patience, that he stuck it out for that long with that goose

 

Nine team comp next year?

 

nah jus bring the fury back, they cut the wrong team, and nek time the FFA let a billionaire have a licence make sure he is a half decent man with his heart in the game, or at least some interest, not like this wanker palmer,who is appropriately named

 

The NQF ship has already sailed. There's no way they'd bring it back without an actual investor. The community ownership was a non-starter for a team as poorly attended as the Fury. The only mistake FFA made was not killing Gold Coast along with NQF.

 

QLD is definitely not a football state, FFA may be happy just to have roar for the present, ffs why cant we just have the wolves back from wollongong?

 

There was talk in the papers of Lowy approaching a millionare to invest in a West Sydney team.

 

I have little faith in sydney getting a second team up, not after the last fiasco

 

Didn't someone say that most of SFC's fans were from West Sydney? Putting a team in West Sydney would seem to be a case of robbing Paul to pay Mary..

 

About 40% are, but I think we'd hold a fair chunk of them, and there is a lot of untapped potential there.
