There were calls for the ABC to expand their outside broadcasting abilities and televise a Pride home game next season. The Pride's office was at Mann Street in Westcourt and the team trained at Jones Park. In June 2008 the Pride purchased CDRL Kangaroos Leagues Club and Vico Oval, Irene Street, Mooroobool from the Redcliffe Dolphins in June 2008 for $1.85m (the Dolphins having purchased the Oval and Leagues Club from the Kangaroos in 2005 when Kangaroos were in financial difficulty). The playing field was renamed as Pride Oval, and the end of season Player Awards ceremony was held at the rebranded Pride Leagues Club.Greenwood Emma 30 October 2008 Pride at stake in Roo deal Cairns Post Cairns The facility was to be used as an administration and training base, there were plans for a multi-million dollar development and for the Pride junior teams to play there. Six weeks later, however, the project was put on hold as the Pride faced financial uncertainty after chairman O'Brien's Pacific Toyota dealership went into receivership with debts around $25 million. O'Brien was a majority owner of the NBL Cairns Taipans, and had withdrawn financial support from the basketball team, placing them into voluntary administration. The QRL delayed the release of next seasons draw pending a review of the Pride's financial situation. O'Brien stood aside as the Northern Pride's chairman, and was replaced by Bob Fowler, former chairman of the Queensland Cup side the Cairns Cyclones. 17 December 2008 Pride in football club's wellbeing Cairns Post Cairns 2008 SeasonCRGT Northern Pride 2008 Queensland Cup Competition: Wizard Queensland Cup Sponsor: Cairns Region Group Training (CRGT), three-year naming rights sponsorship. 27 September 2007 Northern Pride kicks off with dough Cairns Post Cairns Staff Coaches/Trainers Coach: Andrew Dunemann Assistant coach: David Maiden Academy coach: Troy Cummings Strength and conditioning coach: Scott Callaghan Captain Chris Sheppard Chey Bird (Rounds 13 & 14, Finals Week 2, Preliminary Final) Ben Laity (Round 15) Warren Jensen (Yarrabah pre-season trail match) Managers Operations manager: Chris Sheppard Commercial manager: Brad Tassell Team manager: Rob White Office Manager: Sheron McDougall Chief executive: Denis Keeffe Chairman: John O'Brien Board of Directors: Greg Dowling, Nigel Tillett, Craig Meiklejohn, Bob Fowler, John O'Brien. 2008 squad The Pride used 35 players this season, all of whom were new signings to the club.
