Football in number one in Canberra

Football is the number one sport in Canberra.


Canberra Times writer tells it like it is:



Merryn Sherwood wrote,



"soccer is Canberra's number one participation sport. Capital Football's participation numbers have increased at a rate of 13 percent over the past two years and in 2007 there are more than 16,000 registered players in men's, women's, junior and futsal leagues in Canberra. It almost triples the number of juniors in rugby league and union with more than 11,000 in 2007 and it has the largest number of women in any football code in Canberra."



Which is why we need an A-League team.



It may take three years, or even five. But we are going to do it and do it right.



We need to turn this interest and knowledge in the game, into support for the best team in Australia.



Now we need a name. Any ideas?
