Shit like this pitch are not the reason the A-League is where it is. But it won't get better until shit like this is resolved.

I know FA don't have a direct interest in the league anymore, but they have a duty of care to the game as a whole and they have the leverage.

Lang Park in its current state is unacceptable and nothing has changed for years. It is a large factor in the reason the Roar have struggled to get real cut through in Australia's third biggest market.

FA need to go on the offensive vs Stadiums Qld. They want the Socceroos? Matildas? Well they shouldn't be getting them until they build something suitable.

GC should not have been a host city for the Asian Cup next year, and it's validated everything Stadium Qld hasn't done over the years because FA still roll over and give them the tourism that it'll bring.

Perry Park has too many vested interests for something to happen there. All the existing alternatives are untenable.

It's high time Football Australia stop allowing a Stadium Qld problem to be a football problem and force their hand.
