Reckon Suncorp is still at chance at getting that upgrade ?
The lobbying by the fumblers has been incessant. Nobody from league seems to be making an issue of it (Ben ikin or Peter Beattie would be perfect to lobby for it)
Regretfully no, it's not looking good now. The party now in charge is by it's nature corrupt (children and grandchildren of Newman and Joh), and so big dollars and friends will benefit somehow. They are highly susceptible to the campaign being waged by cricket and ozzie rules.
We are hamstrung by the issues you mention. Our leadership (V'Landys) is Sydney-centric and doesn't seem to understand or care about the need for a larger stadium in Brisbane. Nor do they seem to understand that the campaign being waged is to inhibit investment in a rectangular stadium for a generation or more. There is no concept of the proxy war being waged on this matter.
No coordination between the rectangle sports is another shortcoming. Soccer are out there advocating for their own facility at Perry Park. Not seeing the forest for the trees unfortunately.
I think a rebuilt Gabba is likely. There is too much investment in Cross River Rail station at that location. Plus I think the Victoria Park fight will get huge in the lead-up to the federal election.
