The North Queensland Razorbacks FC are a football (soccer) club which plays out of Townsville in North Queensland. They play in the Queensland State League and have been reasonably successful in the last few years. They were considered to be one of two feeder clubs for A-League team North Queensland Fury before its demise in 2011.
History
The club has had reasonable success in the last few years. Before the North Queensland Fury were inducted into the A-League in 2009 the Razorbacks were the sole football team in Townsville and therefore got reasonable crowds in for their home games. However they have become the main feeder club for the Fury. They play their home games at the Murray Sports Reserve and normally play their games on Field 1. In turn the Fury have loaned out several players, including Jacob Timpano to the Razorbacks to gain gametime during the A-League offseason.[1]
In 2010, the NQ Razorbacks played two warm up games against the preseason North Queensland Fury Squad, drawing 0-0 in the first match and then going down 7-2 after being 1-0 up for part of the first half.[2][3]
supporters
Since the demise of the North Queensland Fury F-Troop, the nqfc active support group founded in 2008, has begun attending razorback matches and providing active support during QSL seasons. F-Troop, roughly numbering around 80 hardcore since the demise of the fury, believe that it is a more worthwile form of support as they are not restricted by over zealous security enforcing ridiculous rules and are instead allowed to put everything into supporting the team and providing an atmosphere at home and away games. F-Troop now see's itself as an anti FFA group after the way NQFC was treated by the governing body of football in australia. They are one of a number of groups who have taken this stance, the others mainly being made up of supporters of ex NSL clubs.
