The Western Corridor NRL bid was launched on 14 August 2010 in an attempt to represent Brisbane's growing Western Corridor in an expanded National Rugby League competition. The bid is headquartered in Ipswich, Queensland and is closely associated with the Ipswich Jets. The bid promotes the benefits of having a third South-East Queensland club to boost television ratings, attendances and promote the code in a "heartland" area. ==History and bid region== Rugby league football has been played in Brisbane and Ipswich for over a century and is currently represented in the Queensland Cup by the Ipswich Jets. In 2009, before the bid was launched, Ipswich Mayor Paul Pisasale invited then NRL CEO David Gallop to tour the region. Gallop stressed the importance of establishing an NRL side in the "Ipswich-Logan corridor" and was famously quoted as saying the NRL should expand "where the fish are biting". The club's heartland region will encompass Ipswich, Logan and Toowoomba. Sydney Roosters CEO Brian Canavan was hired in December 2010 as a consultant to assist in developing the club's feasibility study and business plan. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Western Corridor NRL bid」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
