FFA contacted: Canberra to put in A-League expression of interest.

Head of the Canberra A-League bid and Transact CEO and ActewAGL General Manager Ivan Slavich (right) was in confident mood this morning when he met Anthony Hatton and this blogger(photographer).

"There will be a team in Canberra." said Slavich. And we believe him. Ivan noted the level of grassroots support already, and he mentioned the outstanding support he has already received from the Canberra corporate community.

Survey designer Anthony Hatton will report back on Nearpost Radio tomorrow and Capital Football CEO Heather Reid will also give the Capital Football response. It's all happening pretty quick. Ivan needs all the support he can get, but he is doing a great job.

For all those 700 plus who have signed up. You are visionary putting your name to a once maligned concept. No more. You will be able to say in coming years, I was one of the first to sign-up, I believed!

As the sign-ups continue at a rapid rate, I'll have an update later today, I'm expecting a huge increase in signatures in the coming days as news and the positive outlook spreads through the community. Feel free to spread the word:)
