Hunters yet to find a home venue

THE SP Hunters’ Queensland home ground is yet to be finalised but they will relocate to Runaway Bay on the Gold Coast for next season in the Intrust Super Cup (ISC) season.
Coach Matthew Church said on Monday that he wanted the Hunters’ home ground to be close to their base.
“The Runaway Bay Sports Centre is a high performance unit,” he said.
“The facility has been around for 20 years on the northern side of the Gold Coast.
“We will be based there for the season.
“Our home ground is yet to be decided but I would like it to be close to the facility to take advantage of being the home team and not having to travel.”
The Australian said the Hunters were hoping for the Queensland Rugby League to schedule their games every Saturday at 3pm to make it convenient for live coverage of their games to the Papua New Guinea audience.
“All the other teams in the ISC have been supportive of that but there one or two teams that have requested that they would not be there at that time,” Church said.
“But we are lucky that they (other teams) are valuing the fact that we are relocating as well so I hope that decision will be made by next month and we will know where and when we will play.”
Meanwhile, Church said the Hunters would engage in some commercial arrangements once the club had been established as an entity of its own.
“But we are still working on some documentation on the Hunters’ separation before we can actually enter into commercial arrangements, that’s coming and it’s in the pipeline,” he said.
“We just have to tick a few boxes and get the business side of things up and running so that we can square all that away.”
