Queensland Roar FC is an Australian football club from Brisbane, Australia competing in the A-League competition, playing their home games at Suncorp Stadium.

History

Formation

At the time of conception of the A-League, teams from several capital cities were preferred to form the foundation clubs. By June 2004, two of the twenty submissions for joining the league were sought by partnerships formed in Brisbane, the capital of Queensland. [1]. On the 1st of November, 2004 the group headed by Queensland Lions Soccer Club were chosen as operators of the Brisbane team. They previously played in the defunct National Soccer League, under the name Brisbane Lions.

In March the following year the Roar were officially launched as a club. The Roar's first-ever board consisted of chairman John Ribot, a former CEO of both National Rugby League clubs Brisbane Broncos and Melbourne Storm, deputy chairman Gary Wilkins, former Queensland and Australian player, and CEO Lawrence Oudendyk, who is also Queensland Lions CEO.

Colours and badge

During the first two seasons the Roar played in a predominantly orange home strip with blue shorts and maroon socks. Queensland sporting teams traditionally play in maroon but the original home strip kept with the colours used by the team in its earlier incarnations. The colours of orange and blue honor the club's Dutch origins.

On 31 July 2005 the club announced that it had ordered a strip that was half orange and half maroon, but that the colours were manufactured for prominence on television.

For season three the home kit had been redesigned, the home strip is still orange but features maroon sleeves, the shorts are maroon instead of blue and orange socks are worn. Danny Tiatto and Craig Moore modeled in the strip launch on 1 August 2007[2]

On November 30, 2007, the club signed a two and a half year deal with cafe chain The Coffee Club to be their main shirt sponsor.[3]

Stadium

The Queensland Roar have always played their home matches at the 52,500 capacity Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane. Previously known as Lang Park, the stadium was also the home ground for the Brisbane Strikers in the now-defunct NSL. The stadium was also one of five venues in the successful 1993 FIFA World Youth Championship where the ground hosted seven matches. In addition to football, since the stadium re-opened in 2003 after a A$280m major redevelopment, it has also become the state's premier venue for rugby union & league in Brisbane. Suncorp Stadium has hosted Socceroos international fixtures, games at the 2003 Rugby World Cup and 2008 Rugby League World Cup.

2005-06 season

The Queensland Roar made their A-League debut against the now-defunct New Zealand Knights, in a 2-0 win in front of over twenty thousand fans at their home ground of Suncorp Stadium. Unfortunately, the Roar were mediocre in the next rounds and after a series of draws and losses would not record their next win until Round 6 against the Newcastle Jets. The rest of the 2005-06 season would follow in a similar fashion as after 21 rounds of the regular season the Roar finished with seven wins, seven draws and seven losses, placing them sixth on the ladder from eight teams. It has been said the Roars first season in the inaugural A-League was more successful off-field than on. The club was the first to have 100,000 spectators pass through the gates and overall had the second highest attendance for the season (148,609) and despite failing to qualify for the finals, the club's home attendance was the second highest in the opening season (average 14,860 a game). Despite the clubs average win-loss record the club had a number of highlights throughout the year, notably the season's equal highest scoring win (5-0 over the Newcastle Jets in Round 20) and striker Alex Brosque being one of four A-League players awarded the Reebok Golden Boot Award for Top Scorer of the Year with 8 goals.

2006-07 season

Queensland Roar compete with the Newcastle Jets during the 2006/07 season

The following season saw the Queensland Roar start in a far more consistent manner as the squad enjoyed an undefeated start to their opening five games of the the 2006-07 season taking 11 points and second place on the ladder. However the good form would end abrubtly with a 4-1 loss to Melbourne Victory and over their next 6 games the Roar only managed 5 points - including just one victory. This slump had seen them fall to 4th on the ladder as of Round 12, on equal points with Perth Glory.

It was in October 2006, during the string of disappointing performances that saw the Roars first club manager, that Miron Bleiberg tendered his resignation after a sloppy 1-1 draw at home to the Central Coast Mariners. Initially Bleiberg's resignation was rejected by the club's executive board, who showed faith in him to regain the form from earlier in the season. It was later released that despite the show of faith from the Roar's board, Bleiberg indicated he would step down in the event the Roar did not return a "positive result". After the Roar suffered two straight losses which included a shocking 1-0 own goal loss to bottom-placed New Zealand Knights and a loss at home to Adelaide United it was announced that Bleiberg would step down as manager of the club.[citation needed] The search for an appropriate successor began immediately with the club announcing they had received 25 applicants, both from Australia and overseas, applying for the top job at the Roar within 24 hours of Bleiberg's resignation. On November 16, 2006 it was announced that former Australian player and Socceroos coach Frank Farina was named as Bleiberg's successor.

Despite a late season surge of positive results, including a last minute victory over premiers Melbourne Victory, the Roar found itself once again in an unenviable situation prior to their final round game against defending champions Sydney FC, needing a win to reach the finals series. The match was played in front of over 32,000 fans at Suncorp Stadium who witnessed a tense 1-1 draw with former Roar player Alex Brosque scoring for his new Sydney club. The result saw Sydney sealing 4th position in the semi-finals on goal difference with Roar finishing a close 5th.

2007-08 season

Although Farina lead Queensland to a strong end of season resurgence, failure to qualify for the 2006-2007 finals series resulted in the release of defenders Chad Gibson (the club's first captain) and Swiss import Remo Buess. In further evidence of a rebuilding period in preparation for the Roar's third season, Chinese signing Yuning Zhang was released from an inauspicious contract with the Roar. Billed as the "Chinese David Beckham", Zhang failed to live up to expectation and returned to China in search of a club within the domestic football competition. Frank Farina's first signing for the 2007/2008 season was that of experienced Australian international Daniel Tiatto, who had spent the previous 11 years in England competing for Manchester City & Leicester City respectively. Tiatto was set to return to Australia and after Melbourne Victory declined to sign him, he agreed to terms with Queensland on a two year contract.

Farina looked closer to home after the signing of Tiatto and signed Australian U-17 striker Tahj Minniecon & Australian U-20 & AIS Scholarship holder Robbie Kruse. He continued to support the younger players as the contracts of 20-year-olds Chris Grossman and Ben Griffin were renewed. Although after signing Tiatto, Farina had focused on signing primarily younger, fairly inexperienced players, on July 25 it was announced that one of the stars of Australia's 2006 World Cup Campaign, Newcastle United FC defender Craig Moore, was signed on a two year contract as the new marquee player for the Roar, returning to his native home state of Queensland, Australia, to play in the 2007/2008 and 2008/2009 seasons.

Despite a number of high profile signings and a positive pre-season, the Roar began the regular season with a shaky start as they managed one win from the six opening matches. Another mediocre season looked in the works for Queensland but an undefeated 8 game winning streak mid-season put them back in a strong position to reach the clubs first ever finals series. The Roar did enough towards the end of the season to guarantee themselves a finals berth, but a poor final three rounds saw the Roar finish in fourth position where they realistically had a chance at the Minor-Premiership or at least a home Semi-Final. After maintaining a 0-0 draw away from home down in Sydney, the Roar won convincingly in the second leg of the tie, 2-0 at home. This set up a do-or-die Preliminary Final match against the Newcastle Jets for a place in the 2007/2008 Grand Final. In a tense match Newcastle went ahead in the 40th minute and looked they had done enough to win until the Roar's Brazilian import Reinaldo slotted home a penalty in the dying seconds of the match. As the squads went into extra-time the fairy tale for Queensland was to end as defender Craig Moore was red-carded and Newcastle scored from a controversial penalty. The Jets scored another 5 minutes later to go up 3-1. Reinaldo scored his second in the 118th minute but it was not enough to force the penalty shoot-out as the Roar bowed out of the season 3-2.

Pre-season

After the conclusion of the 2007-08 season the Roar signed a partnership with Brazilian club Clube Atlético Mineiro, who play in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A League. The partnership will assist the Roar in footballing matters on & off the field in areas of sports medicine, physiology, fitness training and club marketing. The agreement also allows for the possibility of pre-season fixtures between the two teams, either in Brazil or Brisbane, as well as an opportunity for the Roars younger players to hone their skills with the Atlético Mineiro junior-developmentprograms.[4]

The Roar announced that they will be continuing with their yearly Roars Against Racism campaign. The Roar played Brazilian Serie A team Palmeiras on the 12th July 2008 as part of pre season preparations, defeating an understrength Palmeiras 3-1 in front of 13,000 fans.

The Roar did not have the best of from in the Pre-Season Challenge Cup, losing 2 games and drawing 1, as well as the captain Craig Moore being Red Carded in the last game, leaving him suspended for the first Round of the A-League.

Season

Template:ALeague QR had their most successful season in 2008-09. The season started with poor home form with the team collecting only one point out of fifteen points. In contrast their early away form was good collecting eleven points from the first five away games kept them in the hunt. Charlie Miller proved to be an excellent signing, scoring in each of the first seven games and providing a playmaker role. The second half of the season saw the team improving their home form while retaining a good away form.

Sergio van Dijk has scored his debut roar goal, converting a penalty against former Manchester United Goal Keeper Mark Bosnich in the round 3 match against the Central Coast Mariners. This proved to be his only goal of the first half of the season. He broke his scoring drought in round 12 and ended up scoring eleven regular season goals, the highest ever by a Queensland player in a season which included a hattrick against Template:ALeague SFC in Round 20. He became the second ever Roar player to score an A-League hattrick and the first ever to do so whilest playing for Queensland.

On Saturday 10th January the Roar travelled to Gosford NSW to face the Central Coast Mariners in a round 19 clash. 11,454 fans crammed into Bluetongue Stadium to witness what is commonly acknowledged as being the gayest match in the A-League's brief history, and possibly the gayest football match ever played. A series of defensive blunders by both sides left a flattering final score of 4-3 in favour of the visiting Roar, but not before both sides squandered numerous chances to score anywhere up to 10 goals each. Some of the shots were so gettable that it might have put the A-League back 5 years if people outside of Gosford had been watching. Even most Sydney FC fans couldn't believe just how gay the match was played out. This only added to the intense rivalry between the two sides.

The Roar narrowly missed qualifying for the Major Semifinal and was pitted against the Central Coast Mariners in the two-legged Minor Semifinal. In the first leg played at the Bluetongue Stadium, the Roar picked up a valuable away victory 2-0. In the second leg played a week later the home team notched a 4-2 victory that assured their place in Prelimenary Final to be played in the Hindmarsh Stadium against Adelaide United.

With a place in the AFC Champions League 2010 as well as a place in the A-League Grand Final 2009 at stake, the Roar came into the match confident of winning given their good form and their opponents poor form. The Queensland team dominated the first 20 minutes only to go behind on a goal by Fabian Barbiero. Despite increased pressure the resolute Adelaide United defense was able to hold on.

Attendances

Supporters

The Queensland Roar have three main supporters groups: The Orange Army, The Northern Element and the Caxton Street Casuals. Each group was formed to represent the diversity of fan base that exists with in the supporters. The CSC and Orange Army are positioned in the Northern stand (Bay 332) of the Suncorp Stadium, in an area known to fans as 'The Den'. The Northern Element moved to the Southern End of Suncorp Stadium during the second half of the 2006-07 season.

The Orange Army (Orange Army Website) are the only recognised supporters group, and are also the largest with close to 2000 members. The Orange Army is comprised of Roar supporters from all over the stadium, state and country, and aim to help and assist the wider fan base. The Orange Army (or Official Supporters Club as they were known prior to the 06/07 season) were instrumental in the foundation of The Den. They also plan away trips during the season and pre season. Membership to the Orange Army is free.

The Northern Element (Northern Element Website)add some casual culture to Lang Park. Created in 2005 and influenced by the British and Italian football scenes, Northern Element represents the less commercialised and more traditional supporters.

The Caxton Street Casuals (CSC) are located at the front of Bay 332. The CSC focuses on singing for the full 90+ minutes and having a good time at the game, before the game, and after. Created in 2008, the CSC has chosen a more direct approach to supporting the Roar which some find peculiar- but they have provided plenty of noise in the home end, and have contributed to a resurgence in passionate support for the Roar.
