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]
