  1. Seeing Virgin is Brisbane based, they would be the favourite
  2. So what he said last week is basically irrelevant!! https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-03-25/steven-miles-open-to-delaying-qsac-until-after-election/103628486
  3. https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/sport/half-arsed-olympics-has-john-coates-lost-his-magic-touch-20240321-p5fe5f.html
  4. Didn't know that at all, that is very very very interesting and they would not need to build anything plus the CGF will give them $$$$$$
  5. NRL is a better TV sport while AFL gets higher crowds at actual games Sydney NRL teams would kill for the Swans crowds. GWS meh not so much but they still average what the NRL do Put the Lions in a bigger stadium with better facilities and they would easily outdraw the Broncos Isn't that the whole point about the stadium debate? Filling a stadium makes money
  6. And yet ironically the Lions have more members than the Broncos and the pitiful pathetic Suns have more members than the Titans
  7. The fact that Miles wheeled out Wally Lewis and other NRL players to announce the "Olympic" stadium plan on Monday did not go down well in AFL world
  8. Leaking from inside the Brisbane 2032 Board meeting is just as bad as it can get https://archive.md/42jl5 Plus Coates too lazy to get out of bed it seems
  9. More so the fact that Malaysia is changing internally and becoming a more nationalistic intolerant society who view the Comm Games as "British imperialist colonizers"
  10. Sounds as popular with the public & politicians as is Brisbane 2032 https://www.scmp.com/week-asia/economics/article/3256077/should-malaysia-host-2026-commonwealth-games-look-victoria-and-birmingham-critics-say
  11. I'm sorry but after the past few days, this one had totally broken me HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! https://archive.md/zD8Ep Steven "Koala Killer" Miles
  12. This must be the final dagger in the heart Brisbane born and bred Tracey Wickham who was the Golden Girl of swimming in the late 70's/early 80's and was the face of the 1982 Commonwealth Games (basically she was the Cathy Freeman of Sydney 2000 for Brisbane 1982) has stuck the knife in deep and twisted and twisted it https://archive.md/RuNgr
  13. To be all honest a rebuilt Gabba is the best option as it has been since Day 1. They've just spent billions to build a new subway station connected to the front door. Just knock down that damn school! As Michael Jordan says ....
  14. What people are beginning to say tonight The Gabba is an "existing" stadium, not a "new" stadium, even if it is a full rebuild is can still be classed as an existing stadium So maybe we might go full circle
  15. Come to think now, I think this is a stroke of political genius For the next 6 months the LNP can run on the line of "NO NEW STADIUMS", QSAC is a wasteful option etc etc Then when elected in October, handball the whole thing to the Olympic Coordination Authority and when they report back after 100 days, they will report probably pretty much identically to Quirk saying the best option is to build a new stadium at Victoria Park and bulldoze the Gabba "We have listened to the "independent" experts and we will do the best for Brisbane" Knowing in the back of their minds they won't have to face the voters again until October 2028, by which time a broken promise be a distant memory Either that or they cancel the whole thing
  16. Despite what the article above says he also rejected the QSAC option Cancellation odds just went to a very heavy favourite
  17. Interesting to note that it seems to be Channel 9 making all the running on this Channel 9 being the new IOC Olympics rights holder in Australia and host broadcaster for the 2032 Olympics
  18. Federal Minister for Sport (also a Queenslander and Miles ally) not overly happy with the whole thing
  19. The ICC needs to give a waiver for a stadium with a roof, which they did for Docklands in Melbourne Cricket Australia expects the same for the new hobart stadium https://www.themercury.com.au/sport/cricket-boss-confident-roof-wont-jeopardise-macquarie-point-matches/news-story/5ba365d748062e6c4b48df8fd04e6d02
  20. Heh Steven Miles "Killer of Dreams" https://archive.md/lC2lr
  21. But you'll have to wait until 2033/34. Jimmy Anderson sadly will pass away from old age in October 2033 on the eve of the tour Actually on a serious note, the 2033/34 Ashes is being used as a carrot. If the Gabba is still in it's end-of-life decepit stage by then or already fallen down and being rebuilt, there will be a brand new roofed stadium down in Hobart eager to take the match
