The Brisbane Lions players will enjoy a well-earned two-week break over the Christmas and New Year period after enduring a couple tough months of pre-season training.

The Club itself will also shut down for the holidays at 2:30pm on Friday 21 December 2012, before re-opening for regular business at 8:30am on Monday 14 January 2013.       

However, the Membership Call Centre and Lions Shop at the Gabba will continue operating at the following times throughout the official close period:

Membership Call Centre*

Saturday 22 December 2012: 9am – 2pm
Monday 7 January 2013 – Friday 11 January 2013: 8:30am – 5pm

*All times are Brisbane local


The players and staff at the Brisbane Lions AFC would take this opportunity to thank everyone associated with the Club for their continued support in 2012, and wish you all a very merry Christmas and happy New Year.
