Trying to take some heat out of this argument, these floods will no doubt put Ipswich's bid back significantly. These floods will require months of rebuilding at huge financial cost.
Like it or not Ipswich, Toowoomba, SE Qld have more important factors to consider over the next 12/24 months than another footy team....and certainly not building another stadium!
Without doubt the best bid at this point is the Bears then WA Reds. IF (and it is only an if) the new IC even vote for expansion, the Bears & Reds must surely get the nod...and help to reheal some SL wounds.
I believe we need another SE Qld team (the Broncos monopoly is farcical) but mother nature has intervened and dealt a huge blow to Ipswich's bid...a bid that was not all that advanced. Perhaps Ipswich will have to wait until 2015....
