« on: June 11, 2011, 06:50:57 AM »
... it has emerged the Lions' revenue is down 25 per cent and that it is headed for its sixth successive seven-figure loss.

Brisbane's home crowds this season are down 10,000 on average per game and the club has incurred debt for the first time.

Just shows after all these years they still need to be successful on the ground to make money.
Vossy might have to take a pay cut in his next contract haha.

No AFL assistance on salary cap etc. All that is going to their neighbours and the new boys from GWS.
It seems that it will take a while before the Lions climb the ladder and rival the Suns on field. The'll be down for at least 10 years now.

Worst thing is for Lions. IF any good qlder player wants to go home from a Vic team or somewhere. He might want to go play for GC instead if there performing better on field.

Mostly self-inflicted both on and off the field so the Lions only have themselves to blame. Voss' recruiting has been a disgrace like us under Spud. The Suns coming in has only exacerbated the Lions problems as they have probably lost around 6k-7k members to GC.
