Junior (4-16): $70 Brisbane Roar have decided to move their 13 home matches this season to Dolphin Oval, Redcliffe which is about a 40-minute drive from the centre of Brisbane and about an hour-and-a-half on public transport.  The atmosphere at the boutique stadium, which holds just over 11,000 people, is considered to be better than an often less-than half-full Suncorp Stadium, however it will be interesting to see whether the change causes a drop in members or attendance.  At $15 a game for an adult, Roar are offering one of the cheaper entry level price points in the league.  However, t...

Ibini had declined to attend training over the past month as he sought a release, with the PFA enlisted to mediate a tense standoff between player and club amid mental health ramifications. It’s understood Ibini’s agent also waived any fees to help speed his departure from the Jets, whom he signed a contrac...

Share on Twitter Paul Lederer - chairman of the club’s representative body AFPCA - confirmed earlier this month a financial “safety net” had been put in place to prevent struggling franchises from going under, as the A-League prepares to run its own affairs after a separation of powers from FFA. That process is all but complete - leaving the new professional league to pick up the pieces from a era of neglect from Chinese business mogul Lee, who ceased funding the Jets 14 months ago.
