'''Northern Fury Football Club''' was an Australian professional [[association football|soccer]] club based in [[Townsville]], Queensland. The club was founded in 2008 and competed in the [[A-League]] under the name '''North Queensland Fury'''. On 1 March 2011, the club was removed from the league due to financial instability. On 3 October 2012, the club officially re-formed  after it was granted a licence to participate in the [[National Premier League Queensland]].<ref>{{cite web|last1=Butterworth |first1=Liam |title=Fury earns spot in Australian Premier League |url=http://www.townsvillebulletin.com.au/article/2012/10/03/365141_sport.html |website=Townsville Bulletin |access-date=2 February 2016 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130927193248/http://www.townsvillebulletin.com.au/article/2012/10/03/365141_sport.html |archive-date=27 September 2013 }}</ref> After rebranding themselves as "North Queensland United" in 2017,<ref name="ftbl.com.au"/> the club disbanded a second time at the end of the [[2018 Football Queensland season]].<ref name="NQ United Confirm Exit">{{cite news|title=NQ United Confirm Exit|url=https://www.footballclick.com.au/nplqld/north-queensland-united/nq-united-confirm-exit/|publisher=footballclick.com.au|date=31 August 2018|access-date=18 October 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181018201717/https://www.footballclick.com.au/nplqld/north-queensland-united/nq-united-confirm-exit/|archive-date=18 October 2018|url-status=dead}}</ref> The club played their home fixtures at [[Townsville Sports Reserve]].

== History ==
=== Foundation ===
A bid known as ''Northern Thunder FC'' (or ''North Queensland Thunder FC'') was considered for admission for the [[A-League 2008–09|2008–09]] season along with [[Gold Coast Galaxy]]. The bid was publicly well progressed, with the team's badge and colours (red, white and black) released. The training facilities were to be located at the North Queensland Institute of Sport and the home ground was to play at [[Willows Sports Complex|Dairy Farmers Stadium]].

The bid was tentatively accepted to join in the 2008–09 season expanding the league to ten teams. Needing to meet certain financial criteria to be granted entry into the league, the club's major financial backer pulled out of the franchise on 5 March 2008, effectively collapsing the bid. [[Football Federation Australia]] determined on 11 March 2008 that neither Thunder or Galaxy would be granted entry "in the best interests of the league," given that a nine team format was generally unfavoured and delayed expansion of the league until the [[A-League 2009–10|2009–10]] season.<ref name="no200809expansion">{{cite news|url=http://au.fourfourtwo.com/news/71821,no–aleague–expansion–this–season.aspx|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120701130513/http://au.fourfourtwo.com/news/71821,no%E2%80%93aleague%E2%80%93expansion%E2%80%93this%E2%80%93season.aspx|url-status=dead|archive-date=1 July 2012|title=No A–League Expansion This Season|date=2008-03-11|access-date=2008-05-27|publisher=[[FourFourTwo (Australia)|FourFourTwo]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.a–league.com.au/default.aspx?s=hal_newsdisplay&id=21732 |title=Hyundai A–League expansion delayed |publisher=A–League |date=2008-03-11 |access-date=2008-03-11 }}{{Dead link|date=February 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

With expansion put off until the following season, by June 2008 the FFA had received ten bids for new A–League teams, two of which came from Townsville&nbsp;– one headed by [[Melbourne]] businesswoman Milissa Fischer and one by local businessman Don Matheson.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.theage.com.au/sport/interest–aplenty–for–new–aleague–clubs–20080603–2l97.html|title=Interest aplenty for new A–League clubs|date=2008-06-03|access-date=2008-08-18|publisher=[[The Age]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/06/03/2264178.htm|title=FFA to consider 10 new bids for expanded A–League|date=2008-06-03|access-date=2008-08-16|publisher=[[ABC News (Australia)|ABC News]]|archive-date=6 June 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080606015921/http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/06/03/2264178.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref> Matheson's bid, which "rose from the ashes of the Northern Thunder bid",<ref>{{cite news|url=http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/a–league/north–qld–fc–confident–of–success–120089/|title=North Qld FC confident of success|date=2008-06-04|access-date=2008-08-18|publisher=[[The World Game]]}}</ref> was granted a provisional licence by [[Football Federation Australia]] on 24 July.<ref name="ffaexclusive">{{cite web|url=http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/InsideFFA/default.aspx?s=insideffa_newsfeatures_newsitem&id=22912 |title=North Queensland FC awarded exclusive negotiating status |date=2008-07-24 |access-date=2008-08-16 |publisher=[[Football Federation Australia]] |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110527210352/http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/InsideFFA/default.aspx?s=insideffa_newsfeatures_newsitem&id=22912 |archive-date=27 May 2011 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.townsvillebulletin.com.au/article/2008/07/25/14906_sportsphoto.html |title=Townsville given provisional A–League licence |publisher=[[Townsville Bulletin]] |date=2008-07-25 |access-date=2008-08-18 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120216190139/http://www.townsvillebulletin.com.au/article/2008/07/25/14906_sportsphoto.html |archive-date=16 February 2012 }}</ref> On 28 August 2008 the franchise was accepted into the A–League by CEO [[Ben Buckley]] with the only matter outstanding the finalisation of all legal requirements.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.a-league.com.au/default.aspx?s=newsdisplay&id=23378|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100718190659/http://www.a-league.com.au/default.aspx?s=newsdisplay&id=23378|url-status=dead|archive-date=18 July 2010|title=Expansion Gets Go Ahead|publisher=A–league.com|date=2008-08-28|access-date=2008-09-16}}</ref>

On 6 November 2008, the franchise named was officially revealed as North Queensland Fury FC.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://au.fourfourtwo.com/news/88425,north–queenland–fury–at–launch.aspx|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120707004210/http://au.fourfourtwo.com/news/88425,north%E2%80%93queenland%E2%80%93fury%E2%80%93at%E2%80%93launch.aspx|url-status=dead|archive-date=7 July 2012|title=North Queensland Fury at Launch|publisher=au.fourfourtwo.com|date=2008-11-06|access-date=2008-11-06}}</ref> Their inaugural kit was revealed in April 2009, featuring dark green sleeves/socks, and a white/light green front.<ref>http://mattwintersfootballblog.blogspot.com/2009/04/north–queensland–fury–kit–revealed.html {{Dead link|date=July 2022}}</ref>

It was announced on 10 December 2008, that the Fury had signed [[Rockhampton, Queensland|Rockhampton]]–born businessman Dean Hassall as their [[CEO]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.northqueenslandfc.com.au/default.aspx?s=newsdisplay&id=25415|title=Fury announces new CEO|publisher=www.northqueenslandfc.com.au|date=2008-12-10|access-date=2008-12-10}}{{Dead link|date=March 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> Also the club signed Scottish club, [[Celtic F.C.|Celtic]]'s strength and conditioning coach Alan McCall<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.townsvillebulletin.com.au/article/2009/01/08/31845_sportsphoto.html |title=Townsville A–League team turns up heat with extra coach |publisher=[[Townsville Bulletin]] |date=2009-01-08 |access-date=2009-01-08 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120216190151/http://www.townsvillebulletin.com.au/article/2009/01/08/31845_sportsphoto.html |archive-date=16 February 2012 }}</ref> and was also joined by Football Operations Manager Nicholas Deluca.

=== Struggles and demise ===
On 7 June 2010, former [[AC Sparta Prague|Sparta Prague]] and one time Czech Republic national team coach [[František Straka]] was announced as the club's coach for the coming 2010–11 A-League season after agreeing to a one-year deal.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Ormond |first1=Aidan |title=Fury's Czech Mate |url=http://au.fourfourtwo.com/news/168040,furys-czech-mate.aspx |website=FourFourTwo Australia |publisher=FourFourTwo |access-date=2 February 2016 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131213130840/http://au.fourfourtwo.com/news/168040,furys-czech-mate.aspx |archive-date=13 December 2013 }}</ref>

The club finished last in the 2010/11 A-League season, winning only 4 of their 30 matches. The crowd average of 4,245 was the 4th lowest in the history of the A-League behind the Gold Coast United crowd average of the same season and the two seasons of the New Zealand Knights.

A community ownership model was launched, aimed at finding 1.5 million dollars (per year, for three years), of capital investment being sought to cover half the expected losses for the next three seasons. Ben Buckley, in an open letter to Fury supporters, made it clear that the FFA would not fund continual losses.<ref>{{cite web|title=Clearing air over the Fury |url=http://www.townsvillebulletin.com.au/article/2010/12/16/193021_fury.html |website=Townsville Bulletin |access-date=2 February 2016 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120913060716/http://www.townsvillebulletin.com.au/article/2010/12/16/193021_fury.html |archive-date=13 September 2012 }}</ref>

On 1 March 2011, the club officially had its A-League licence revoked due to financial reasons. The FFA reported that the Fury had received only $300,000 of the investment required for the next season, and despite increased sponsorship revenue the club would still lose $2 to $3 million. FFA released a statement confirming earlier reports that a decision had been taken not to continue with the franchise as the financial position of the club for season 2011–2012 considered too big of a [[financial risk]] for the [[Football Federation Australia|FFA]] to undertake.<ref>[http://www.foxsports.com.au/football/a-league/north-queensland-fury-dropped-from-a-league-after-being-unable-to-front-15million-for-licence/story-e6frf4gl-1226014174045?from=public_rss , "Fury Kicked Out Of The A-League"] {{Webarchive|url=https://archive.today/20120630035152/http://www.foxsports.com.au/football/a-league/north-queensland-fury-dropped-from-a-league-after-being-unable-to-front-15million-for-licence/story-e6frf4gl-1226014174045?from=public_rss |date=30 June 2012 }}, [[Fox Sports (Australia)|Fox Sports]]</ref>

On 13 September 2017, the club announced that it would be dropping the Northern Fury name and colours in favour of the name "North Queensland United" and the region's traditional football colours of blue, red and gold.<ref name="ftbl.com.au"/>

At the end of the [[2018 Football Queensland season]], NQ United disbanded again.<ref name="NQ United Confirm Exit"/>

== Rivalries ==
Northern Fury had a rivalry with fellow North Queensland NPL team [[Cairns FC|Far North Queensland FC (now called Cairns FC)]], with both teams contesting the '[[Frank Farina]] Cup'.<ref>{{cite news|last1=O'Neil|first1=Rohan|title=Farina Cup on offer in North Queensland NPL derby|url=http://www.townsvillebulletin.com.au/sport/farina-cup-on-offer-in-north-queensland-npl-derby/news-story/bf493652b786a66e7e11442b83c8696f?=|website=Townsville Bulletin|date=17 July 2015|access-date=13 February 2016|archive-date=25 July 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230725083206/https://www.townsvillebulletin.com.au/sport/farina-cup-on-offer-in-north-queensland-npl-derby/news-story/bf493652b786a66e7e11442b83c8696f?=&nk=eba58fd2cb165cad9024a8adc8cb9796-1690273926|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Derby match heats up for Frank Farina Cup|url=http://www.northernfury.com.au/news/derby-match-heats-up-for-frank-farina-cup|website=Northernfury.com.au|publisher=Northern Fury|access-date=13 February 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160309030836/http://www.northernfury.com.au/news/derby-match-heats-up-for-frank-farina-cup|archive-date=9 March 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=6-pointer at stake for Frank Farina Cup|url=http://www.northernfury.com.au/fergies-blog/6-pointer-at-stake-for-frank-farina-cup|website=Northernfury.com.au|publisher=Northern Fury FC|access-date=13 February 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160315053329/http://www.northernfury.com.au/fergies-blog/6-pointer-at-stake-for-frank-farina-cup|archive-date=15 March 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref>

== Colours and badge ==
North Queensland's colours were light and dark green and white. These were chosen to represent the lush green vegetation of the northern parts of Queensland. The badge was revealed in 2008 soon after the bid was granted entry to A-League. The light green was often referred to in the local media as "tropical green" but was particularly unpopular with many fans of the club.
