Soccer in Brisbane
We are going to Brissie on Jan 25th for 3 weeks, and I wondered what is the local soccer team and when will they be playing? It's become a tradition now , that whenever we go anywhere on Holiday I try to take in a local game (the wife thinks I'm sad, but all my mates think it's cool) I've seen all types of teams play in Europe and a couple in the States.
What sort of numbers do they get and what is the admission fee?
A link would be good too, TA.

Hi Steven
I've been to see the 'Roar' on several occasions now, the standard is pretty good, not quite Champions league but i'm sure they would do ok in the English 2nd Div.
They had the best defensive record in the 'A' league, but just cant seem to put the ball in the net. If they had a few decent goal getters they would have been up there with Adelaide i'm sure, not near the bottom as they are.
The attendances have ranged from 20,000 (1st game of the season) to about 8,000 to 10,000 on a regular basis.
You'll be able to catch the game on the 4th of Feb against Central coast, last game of the season, 7.00 pm kick off.
Admission is $25 and for that you get into the game and free public transport to and from the stadium, great value!!
Enjoy

Unless you don't want the locals to know what you are talking about. If you ask a local about going to see the football you will find yourself at a Broncos' match.

I had a coversation with an Aussie guy the other week about 'soccer' and youths, as it is very popular with younger schoolkids, they play 'soccer' here at a young age as it is less of a contact sport compared to 'football' and rugby league or union.
Once they get a bit older the other 'codes' are pushed on them.
Hopefully with the World Cup success 'real' football will become more acceptable to this 'macho' society.

So why do the Aussies call rugby football, and football soccer?? Where did the word soccer come from?
