Like a great many Brisbane Lions members and fans The Lion’s Roar have been taken aback by comments made by Chairman Bob Sharpless regarding his vision of our club playing games for premiership points at Springfield rather than the Gabba.

While we understand the comments may not reflect official club policy we are very concerned that the Lions Chairman appears to favour a future for our club that would be strongly opposed by the majority of Lions members.

With the Springfield heads of agreement due to expire shortly and funding for the development appearing uncertain, we await further comment from Mr Sharpless fully explaining his position and his intentions for the future direction of our club.

The Lion’s Roar wants to assure members that we will continue to monitor the situation very closely and will do our best to keep Lions supporters and members informed of any updates.
