We had been trying to catch a game down there for a couple of Years, but with Covid and clashes with his work roster things just never worked out for us to go.
Cararra Stadium used to be the Brisbane Bears home ground until they merged with the Fitzroy Lions and moved their home ground to the Gabba, and Cararra Stadium is the main stadium featured in the Foo Fighters video for the song 'These Days', as I wrote about recently in this post - Ironically, the Q-Clash took place on the ANZAC Day weekend, when Australians and New Zealanders remember the fallen. So, there is a minute's silence before the game starts to remember the dead, which made me think of the 'Foo Fighters' late drummer Taylor Hawkins who had passed away less than a month ago and the music video for 'These Days' which featured live shots from their June 2011 Milton Keynes performances, Australian and New Zealand tour.  |

I paid for our tickets and my son drove us down from Brisbane and back in his car, paid for parking across the road from the stadium and paid for our food at the game, so he probably came off worse financially with that deal.
I hope to see many more Q-clash games down there with my son ... but tell "God" your plans as they say, right?-)
I would have loved to have been in Sydney last night to see the Lions beat the Swans, but I watched it live on TV alone at home, as my son had to work:-( Such is life ... and football. I was happy to see Buddy pick up some more goals against the Lions to add to his 1000+ goal tally, but the Swans still lose the match:-)
