Previous Bid
I previous bid for a North Queensland team was after the New Zealand Knights were dropped form the competition. But the A-League opted for Wellington Phoenix instead to keep a New Zealand club in the competition. But the proposed team of North Queensland Thunder stayed on and was thought to enter in the 2008/2009 season but a financial backer left in March 2008 and the bid fell through as did Gold Coast's.
