New Zealand Knights Football Club (known as Football Kingz Football Club until 2004 were the only professional Football (soccer team in New Zealand before Unfortunately, the Roar were mediocre in the next rounds and after a series of draws and losses would not record their next win until Round 6 against the Newcastle Jets. For the English club see Newcastle United FC Newcastle United Jets is an association football (soccer club based in The rest of the 2005-06 season would follow in a similar fashion as after 21 rounds of the regular season the Roar finished with seven wins, seven draws and seven losses, placing them sixth on the ladder from eight teams. It has been said the Roars first season in the inaugural A-League was more successful off-field than on. The club was the first to have 100,000 spectators pass through the gates and overall had the second highest attendance for the season (148,609) and despite failing to qualify for the finals, the club's home attendance was the second highest in the opening season (average 14,860 a game).

2006-07 season

The following season saw the Queensland Roar start in a far more consistent manner as the squad enjoyed an undefeated start to their opening five games of the the 2006-07 season taking 11 points and second place on the ladder.

Miron Bleiberg ( מירון בלייברג) is a football (soccer manager formerly of Australian A-League team Queensland Roar, as well as numerous other Australian Central Coast Mariners Football Club, also known as The Mariners or The Coast, are an Australian professional football (soccer team Initially Bleiberg's resignation was rejected by the club's executive board, who showed faith in him to regain the form from earlier in the season. It was later released that despite the show of faith from the Roar's board, Bleiberg indicated he would step down in the event the Roar did not return a "positive result". After the Roar suffered two straight losses which included a shocking 1-0 own goal loss to bottom-placed New Zealand Knights and a loss at home to Adelaide United it was announced that Bleiberg would step down as manager of the club. New Zealand Knights Football Club (known as Football Kingz Football Club until 2004 were the only professional Football (soccer team in New Zealand before Adelaide United Football Club is a Football (soccer team in the Australian A-League based in Adelaide, South Australia.

Despite a late season surge of positive results, including a last minute victory over premiers Melbourne Victory, the Roar found itself once again in an unenviable situation prior to their final round game against defending champions Sydney FC, needing a win to reach the finals series.

Chad Gibson (born Sydney, Australia, 19 June Remo Buess (born September 13, 1977 in Basel, Switzerland) is a Swiss Football (soccer player who last played as a left In further evidence of a rebuilding period in preparation for the Roar's third season, Chinese signing Yuning Zhang was released from an inauspicious contract with the Roar.

Farina looked closer to home after the signing of Tiatto and signed Australian U-17 striker Tahj Minniecon & Australian U-20 & AIS Scholarship holder Robbie Kruse. Tahj Minniecon (born 13 February 1989 in Cairns, Australia) is an Australian footballer who currently plays for Queensland The Australian Institute of Sport (AIS leads the development of elite sport and is widely acknowledged in Australia and internationally as a world best practice model for elite athlete Robbie Kruse (born 5 October, 1988 in Brisbane Queensland) is a wide playing striker who plays for.

Despite a number of high profile signings and a positive pre-season, the Roar began the regular season with a shaky start as they managed one win from the six opening matches. Another mediocre season looked in the works for Queensland but an undefeated 8 game winning streak mid-season put them back in a strong position to reach the clubs first ever finals series. The Roar did enough towards the end of the season to guarantee themselves a finals berth, but a poor final three rounds saw the Roar finish in fourth position where they realistically had a chance at the Minor-Premiership or at least a home Semi-Final. After maintaining a 0-0 draw away from home down in Sydney, the Roar won convincingly in the second leg of the Semi-Final 2-0 at home at Suncorp, setting up a do-or-die Preliminary Final match against the Newcastle Jets for a place in the 2007/2008 Grand Final. For the English club see Newcastle United FC Newcastle United Jets is an association football (soccer club based in In a tense match Newcastle went ahead in the 40th minute and looked they had done enough to win until the Roars Brazilian import Reinaldo Elias da Costa slotted home a penalty in the dying seconds of the match. Reinaldo Elias da Costa (born June 13 1984) is a left-footed Brazilian football player who currently plays in the Australian A-League As the squads went into extra-time the fairy tale for Queensland was to end as defender Craig Moore was red-carded and Newcastle scored off a penalty, only to score yet another 5 minutes later to go up 3-1. Craig Andrew Moore (born December 12, 1975 in Sydney New South Wales) is a defender from Australia, who plays for. Reinaldo scored his second in the 118th minute but it was not enough to force the penalty shoot-out as the Roar bowed out of the season 3-2.

After the conclusion of the 2007-08 season the Roar signed a partnership with Brazilian club Clube Atlético Mineiro, who play in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A League.

The Northern Element (Northern Element Website)add some casual culture to Lang Park. Created in 2005 and influenced by the British and Itialian football scenes, these lads represents those fans who have not bought into the commercialisation of the modern game. Instead the Northern Element stick closer to traditions of football clubs in the community. Their fashion and chants are influenced by the terrace and clubbing scene of the late 80's and 1990's. They prefer to wear designer labels instead of club colours, and don't buy into to the global marketing and merchandise of the game. Recognisable, both home and away by their distinctive banner[5], the Northern Element aim to create a good atmosphere at the football, drink plenty of beer and cheer on the team no matter how bad they are playing. The NE already have ties with Melbourne's Blue and White Brigade (The BWB). Unline the loyalist Orange Army the Northern Element are not an official supporters club. In fact they are a bunch of hardcore football supporters who all know each other. In order to keep out racism, sexism and bad behavior from the football terraces they don't let any old fool in to join them. NE are mostly made up of immigrants but there are plenty of Aussies in the ranks too. Big up to the Chapel Hill Crew and the Northside Casuals.
