“Brisbane Strikers and Brisbane City refused to do this because they each wanted to stay at their own respective locations.”
That is rubbish.
The Strikers approached City about merging their bids and were knocked back.
Five scenarios for privately funding a stadium in Brisbane
That is factually and historically incorrect. The Strikers did not withdraw their bid, they lost out to Lions on the basis of having Suncorp Stadium as a venue. Nevermind the fully funded boutique stadium at Perry Park after two or three years at Ballymore that the Strikers offered. (Clem Jones, in a final act of philanthropy, was putting $100m of his own money into the venture). Must have impressed the FFA because they tried to sell the Roar to him when Lions lost their dough.
How would the A-League look if we started again?
