I am a passionate fan of Brisbane Roar but also very actively involved with the Queensland Football History Project and would welcome any inquiries about that project.

The progress the club and squad are making is very encouraging. And there are plenty of positive indicators to suggest that the Roar is definitely on the right track.
Being a Foundation member, I have experienced the highs and the lows throughout the years and I can definitely sense a very encouraging and positive turn around.
The comments made by Phil Moss during the broadcast of the Australia Cup Game about the positive vibes in our dressing room, compared to previous seasons, are very encouraging.
The reaction from supporters (committed and intending), with nothing but smiles and positive comments after the game with Western United were another sign that the future is likely to be a bright one.
The establishment of the Supporters Advisory Council is another great move and after only one meeting, the Management team has already acted upon a number of suggestions eminating from that meeting.
The start of a second generation inclusion of Zane North and Rylan Brownlee is exciting particularly since the club is still relatively young.
The emergence of undoubted talents like Quinn MacNicol and Thomas Waddingham bodes well for the future and we hope that theirs will be a longtime, enjoyable and rewarding association with the Roar.
And let’s not forget the remainder of the squad, comprising many local youngsters who have started to well and truly establish themselves at A-league level.
Women’s football has also firmly established itself, following the huge impact, courtesy the Matildas and their outstanding performances in the recent WWC. Supporters numbers have exploded and it looks like our Liberty team has been well selected and will be a force to be reckoned with.
The return to Suncorp has hit the right note as well.
Our management team led by Kaz Patafta and Zac Anderson is switched on and responsive and the vibes in the office are second to none. Everybody is committed and motivated.
The Brand building project sees the return to the club of Chad Gibson our inaugural captain and his wife Cecelia and you are going to see some exciting developments in that department.
Does anyone need more convincing that now is the time to book your season tickets and to fasten your seatbelts to be part of an exciting ride towards success.
GO ROAR!!!!!

Whisper it quietly, but Brisbane Roar should be contenders under Ross Aloisi

Lionheart, You are spot on. And like with the men, the Brisbane football public should put the recent past behind them and support both the ROAR women and men in big numbers. More supporters through the turnstiles = more money in the till = more money to spend on all aspects of the game. GO ROAR!

Australian women calling for real change in football should start it by turning up to A-League matches

Another area we can save money is to revert to part-time referees.
The standard of refereeing has declined in my humble opinion since the FFA appointed fulltime referees and I fail to see what they do all week. They also often are appointed AR’s or the 4th referee.
I’d hate to think what the cost is and I am sure that their travel costs can also be slashed significantly with better planning and using more locals for AR’s and the 4th referee.

Can FFA save a few pennies and overcome a slashed budget?
