I offered up some local ideas some time back. But got laughed at for it, and here they are now looking at Redcliffe as a option.
Surely a temporary option could still be sorted, look who our primary sponsor is, surely they would be in the know who could supply temp grandstands, especially considering the recent Comm Games. I'm guessing someone is not trying hard enough to explore local options.
I’m guessing they are using any or all pressure they can to force change.
The government will have a white elephant unless they compromise, so until people stop swinging their dicks and use some common. sense, I can’t blame the club for putting the pressure on.
Redcliffe won’t see me there though.
Prefer to see our sponsors throw up some scaffolding at Pizzey Park, even temporarily. Be a lot cheaper than $110k per home game
The idea of moving games so far away, especially a showpiece in the Broncos is dangerous. But it makes a statement. This is brinksmanship. But the stacks are high, our fragile membership base doesn't need such trauma.
The best thing we can do is start a campaign to hammer the State Government on this.

I think the elephant in the room is the force to have another Brisbane team ... we all want a team on the Coast, the owners have committed to that and I'm not for one minute suggesting that this is on the table, however, if you were purely a business-motivated entity then the option to re-position the franchise in Brisbane would be tempting and Reddy would be attractive ... just saying.
Four reasons to escape to Queensland: Sun, Surf, Sand & the Titans.
I guess like a South Queensland model?
The way I see it, and I am a Brisbane boy, the city already gets a taste with a double header involving the Storm, a Broncos away game and any big Finals matches. But we have never really dug in on this and developed a Brisbane fanbase, just watched it melt away.
My view is the Gold Coast needs the Titans and Brisbane is for new clubs. Yes I think we do eventually need a Northern club and a South/West club. Dolphins and Jets based perhaps.

If the Dolphins have NRL dreams they'd be right behind this.
The new facilities aren't bad but the other parts of the "stadium" are still concrete and grass with plenty of green ants.

We probably should have made this an issue during the last State Election, now the next one is Saturday 31 October 2020.
But the Gold Coast is an area that Labor want to grow their support in. And political parties do care about their current standing in statewide polling and seat polling.

Dolphin Oval is not a realistic option, although I suppose as a one off to see if Stadiums Qld blink it might be worth it. I gather the club would have to refund members a portion of this years membership if they take a home game away as their commitment was for 10 home games this year. The price was discounted due to the two games taken away due to the Comm Games but there was no expectation any other games would be lost.
The Qld Government really should hang their heads in shame over this. Trying to rip off sporting teams who are trying to play at venues we all paid for is a disgrace.
^^^ I’m trying to get some State Politicians to give a rats about it via email and I’m getting nothing.
When I have a crack at any of them about the M1 I often get a phone call soon after, but with this stadium issue they don’t seem that interested
