Raiders CEO announces team must play home games in New Zealand and Queensland due to stadium issues.
Raiders CEO Don Furner has dropped a bombshell by announcing that the NRL club will need to take their home games on the road, heading to New Zealand and Queensland due to the woeful state of GIO Stadium.
The lack of funding for a rebuild has left the Raiders in a tough spot, with plans for a shiny new venue in Canberra being tossed aside back in 2023.
With no clear solution in sight, Furner bemoaned the state of affairs on SEN radio, likening GIO Stadium to a rusty old jalopy compared to the slick, modern arenas popping up in Sydney like CommBank Stadium and Allianz Stadium.
"GIO Stadium is a relic at almost 50 years old," Furner lamented.
