John Grant urges NRL to add a team in Ipswich/Logan

[flippikat]

Agreed, Ideally we'd see 5th Qlnd team and Adelaide in teams 21 & 22 slots by 2040. That pretty much sets up the NRL for a few decades to come.

Well.. with the exception of maybe a 3rd NZ team.

Let's clear up a few things...

1. The AFL is not even close to taking over anywhere in SEQ

2. The western corridor bids run with the "threat of AFL" line to get attention in a crowded bidding market (SEQ) and the media eats it up because it gets clicks

3. Plonking a training base in Springfield does not mean that all of a sudden the locals in surrounding suburbs fall in love with AFL. That assertion is rediculous.

4. It is good for the NRL and for SEQ to have a team in the Western Corridor of Brisbane as it is RL heartland, has a huge and growing population, has a huge player base and can provide more SEQ derby games which are winners for attendances and ratings. Bonus points that yet another traditional QRL brands, Ipswich Jets could be the team.

Having said all that, let Perth, PNG and Christchurch have their moment and we in SEQ can put our hands up and bid for team 21 or 22 alongside Adelaide, Melbourne 2, Wellington and Fiji.

South Brisbane is bigger & growing almost twice as fast. Sunshine coast will get preseason games for dolphins & storm.

South Brisbane has nothing to do with Ipswich or Sunshine Coast and what part are you referring to specifically? Anything south of Beenleigh is Gold Coast. Logan is Logan. South Brisbane as you know it is capped, there isn’t much room left for residential outside apartment buildings.

If you mean South Queensland as a whole then both Ipswich and Sunshine Coast constitutes as part of it.

You should study urban planning a learn about vertical development. Anyway, South Brisbane is Logan, Ipswich, Springfield..

South Brisbane is Brisbane. It ends on the boundary of where Brisbane itself finishes.

Logan is Logan.
Springfield is part of Ipswich.

https://www.brisbane.qld.gov.au/about-council/council-information-and-rates/brisbane-suburbs#i try to find Springfield or Logan on that.

As for vertical planning the outer suburbs are capped hence you don’t see apartments higher than x amount of floors near the major shopping centers like Chermside, Garden City, Indooroopilly and Carindale.

South Brisbane itself as in the suburb is capped at x amount of stories. As is Newstead, Valley, Hamilton side.

Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Moreton Bay, Redlands, Ipswich, Logan make up south Queensland. I think you’re confusing the two and can’t be bothered to research whatever shit you’re trying to prove.

Put another NRL club in SE Qld in 5 to 8 years giving time for the Dolphins to bed themselves in, and that will put an end of another AFL club there in a lifetime.
