If Canberra'...The business angle is a good one. If Canberra's (and Australia's even) business leaders can realise that football is a vehicle for business with Asia like no other sport, they might actually put some money into it, or get involved some other way.<br /><br />Unfortunately football is under resourced here and not much money is flowing around. The money that is there is not going in the right places. It's easy to blame CF but they have limited resources too.Gordonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2491370939713746836.post-25706857471368251432011-01-06T12:00:04.291+11:002011-01-06T12:00:04.291+11:00Eamonn you are spot on. Sadly I fear what you are ...Eamonn you are spot on. Sadly I fear what you are asking for will not be there after the Asia Cup has come and gone (assuming that Canberra even gets any games which as I understand it is not guaranteed anyway).<br />I remain hopeful that somehow the new TD at CF will come up with a plan that delivers a professional mens football team, a youth mens and boys teams, and facility improvements for all boys and girls in Canberra.<br />I took CF to drive the W-League project and rightly or wrongly it will take CF to drive this same project for the mens and boys. But it seems up to now there is no will to do this, and the clubs are incapable/unwilling to do it alone/in co-operation.<br />Yes let's hear from Capital Football or anyone able to move the game forward.<br />I'd be interested to see you or Peter get CF on your programs and ask them these very questions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
