Patafa trying to turn it around slowly. They crowds must have got really bad at Redcliffe, because they seem to have onlt been around 3-5K this season at cavernous Suncorp.

You can’t always see the work that’s going on now to improve things down the line. 

The same can be true of what we are doing on the executive. We were vocal last year about the straits the club was in, but in the time since we have cleared a significant amount of the club’s debt, including the payment of all previously pending legal settlements. As a result the club’s financial performance in FY2023/24 is better than eight of the last nine years, and puts us on a very sound footing for next year.

That stuff isn’t as exciting as, say, the signing of a marquee player, but it’s actually the basis of everything. And what really gratifies us is we feel like the fans believe in what we’re trying to do. You’re backing us, to the tune of more than 8300 members this season compared with 3374 in 22/23 and 3588 in 21/22. 

Crowds for the men’s team are up nearly half – for the women’s team by more than double. Our ticket revenue for the men is also up by half. Only one other club had a bigger Liberty Pass membership than us this season.
