DlEHARD 443 Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 Their proposal is hilarious. “Like the Firehawk, we are a unique Australian brand,” Brisbane Tigers CEO Brian Torpy. Ask the Queensland Firebirds. Who are suing them for their very very familiar brand. /A raptor that changes the environment for the better, to sustain it. In what it does, it is representative of an outlaw./ Arsonist?

nadera78 2,845 Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 All three bidders seem to have flaws. Firehawks branding is pretty weak, but they have some knowledgable people involved. Redcliffe has the finances but is likely to alienate fans of other Brisbane clubs, feels out on a limb geographically, and the decision to play games centrally is odd given their base. Jets comes across as an unlikely, and somewhat desperate, merger of two bids that were going nowhere. None of them really stand out. 1 "Just as we had been Cathars, we were treizistes, men apart."

How many pages in the bid document? 1 I was born to run a club like this. Number 1, I do not spook easily, and those who think I do, are wasting their time, with their surprise attacks.

My days Brian, reading your entire script from a PowerPoint display in front of you, stumbling over your words. That was terrible. All of it. “We are here today to announce our intention to bid and we are not going to share any details about our bid other than we want to be a brand for all of Australia, based in Brisbane”. 12 minutes I will never get back that made me a little more stupid than I already am. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Will they play out of suncorp stadium or upgrade their current 10k capacity stadium? Do they have a rich backer/consortium willing to pump money in on a yearly basis?

They will play the majority of their home games at suncorp yes, some will be held at their own stadium. This club doesn't need a rich backer, it's wealthy as an entity anyway. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
