Good grief.
Reckon Suncorp is still at chance at getting that upgrade ?
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.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)

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.
It’s strongly arguable cricket needs a refurbished bigger stadium so that will happen. But that would have to be it for them for a few decades. Suncorp will do for a few more years and then we get the stadium we deserve.No point slapping lipstick on Suncorp. Hopefully one day we get a soccer world cup and it can be rebuilt as a 75k new stadium.

Agreed, sadly although, thanks to the magic of tectonics, Australia is drifting towards the US west coast and that will put us in a favourable TV timezone in a hundred million years or so. The human race existing, pending of course.We won't get a WC in our lifetime.
Yeah broadcasters don't like our timeslotWe won't get a WC in our lifetime.
