Brian in Boston Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Well... only slightly. As of May 5th, 2009 the franchise has dropped Queensland as its place-name in favor of Brisbane. The franchise will henceforth be known as Brisbane Roar FC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
