In 1966, the club purchased a house and land in Bognor Street, (on the Wynnum Road side of the Pony Club) Wynnum, developed a field and called it Maramba Stadium. From this time, the seniors played out of Maramba Stadium, while the juniors remained at Memorial Park, next to the Wynnum High School.
1970's
In 1970s Wynnum played in the Queensland State League.
1980's
Up until the 1980s the Wynnum District Soccer Club (WDSC) effectively consisted of two clubs, a senior and a junior club. Seniors at Maramba Stadium, while the juniors played at Memorial Park.
Earlier committees accepted that a split club situation was not healthy but no alternative was available due to a lack of funds to purchase more land adjacent to Maramba.
In 1981 the Wynnum-Manly District Cricket Club (WMDCC) established itself at Boundary Street, Tingalpa with two cricket ovals with turf blocks, a canteen and toilet facilities. With no winter tenant, the cricket club struggled to maintain itself from year to year. The facilities were basic and costs were increasing. In an attempt to secure their survival, the two clubs began talks, requiring the relocation of WDSC to Boundary Street, Tingalpa.
In 1985 Wynnum played in the Queensland Soccer Federation Intermediate League winning the Premiership, and thereby gaining promotion to Premier League in 1986. In 1986, Wynnum fared poorly and was then relegated back to Division 2 for the 1987 season. In 1987, Wynnum finished second and won the Grand Final defeating Brisbane Croatia. In 1988 Wynnum finished sixth in division 2.
