500 hundred sign-up for Canberra A-League

The 500th person to sign up for the Canberra A-League team is Clare D’Arcy. Interestingly, to me, Clare is a mum who lists her club as Players FC. Clare has daughters who play the game. As FIFA President Sepp Blatter has said, "the future of football is female."

And of course a Canberra A-League team would benefit, I believe, the Canberra Women's National League team. And vice versa.

So thanks for taking the time to sign up Clare, and thanks to everyone who has emailed, phoned, and signed up in the two days since we started. It's an interesting and powerful message you are sending.

Expect to see a story in the Canberra Times tomorrow about what is going on, and ABC Grandstand Tim Gavel will run an interview about the support on his show between 11-12 Sat. on ABC Canberra 666AM

Have a great weekend.
