The ACT Government funds sports at the following rates each year:
The ACT Racing club: $8 million p/a.
GWS Giants: $2.85 million p/a to "be Canberra's team".
Canberra Raiders: $2.6 million p/a.
ACT Brumbies: $1.78 million p/a.
Canberra United: $400,000 p/a as a "lifeline" this year And next.
As Canberra United prepares for its #ALW Elimination Final on Saturday, the questions over the clubs future remain as the club still does not have an owner, and Saturday could mark the last ever game it plays.
STORY: roundballaustralia.com.au/ahead-of-alw...
It was 2021 the last time a #BrisbaneRoar team reached the #A-League finals, and now the wait is over..
Roar Ladies will play Adelaide in Brisbane on 25 April in a one-off elimination final.
My latest for RoundBallAustralia tells how they did it.

Don't believe my eyes at some of the comments on the Brisbane Roar's Facebook page.
People's are upset they've missed out on W's finals tickets. If only there were a slightly bigger, more modern venue right next to a train line they could play at? 🤔

Incredible effort from Brisbane fans.
Imagine if we had a slightly bigger, slightly more modern home ground for the girls to play out of.

OPINION: Whose legacy is It anyway? How the Matildas' hype is funding rival codes
While rival codes happily ride the coattails of the Matildas' hype, football remains one of the poorest funded sports per participant in the country.

We'll be around Suncorp stadium tomorrow night for the Roar vs WSW match. Likely at Last Man Standing for the Matildas afterwards too.

@chrisffff.bsky.social was on the Bridge City Podcast earlier this week talking about Perry Park, its importance and our Postcard Campaign.
It was great to be able to talk about Perry on a local Roar podcast.
Have a listen

If you wish to sign a postcard for Perry Park, we plan to be in/near the Gate F bar from ~6 pm. We'll post it off for you.

The 2000 Olympics, 2015 Asian Cup and 2023 Women's World Cup all failed to deliver a legacy venue for football in Queensland.
2032 must be different.

50k fans turn up for the Matildas, but only a couple of thousand for the A-League Women? 🤔
Halfway to our target of 1,000 responses in the Australian leg of the FSAA Global Fan Survey.

Handing out postcards at Spencer Park today. 5000 postcards to the QLD government starting right here.

I obviously mean the men's side, because the women already do play at an NPL ground, which is different to the NPL ground they played at last season
Brisbane Roar are going to end up playing half of their games next season at an NPL ground aren't they?
Do Matildas fans support the A-Leagues?
Are fans in Sydney the same as Adelaide fans? 🤔
We’re collecting independent data on Matildas, Socceroos, and Club fans to map the crossover.
Have your say and spread the word. 👇 🔗 tinyurl.com/437kjtzb

Today, together with the RSF, we are launching a small fundraising campaign.
We are aiming to raise enough money to mail 5000 postcards, signed by Queenslanders, to the Premier on the need for Perry Park.
Please donate only if you can.

Suncorp has an effective monopoly on professional rectangular sports in Brisbane. There is no alternative and has led to its overcongestion.
An alternative venue is needed.
Perry Park must be that alternative.

#aleague #alw #alm #brisbane
In light of another Roar match being moved out of Suncorp.
We wrote about the overcongestion of fixtures at Suncorp last year in our submission to the 100 Day Olympic review.
We even quoted Brisbane Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner.
We need Perry Park.

Funding disparities affect clubs all over Australia. It's time for government at all levels to give the ⚽ it's fair share.
