Canberra A-League: Your say in the club!

Having attended last nights Canberra A-League committee meeting I can tell you things are moving along at an impressive rate.

I can also tell you we are in the fight of our lives and, I believe, only the people of Canberra can secure this team.

Melbourne hae been handed a second spot for 2010.

That leaves Canberra, West Sydney (the elephant in the room) and Wollongong for the 12th spot.

There may well be 13 and 14 spots in time, but when and who wants to wait.

Money is not a problem! That is the message I took from last nights meeting, it will be a question of which investors we choose! Nice place to be.

So the fan base will also be important, very important.

At the moment we have 750 paid up foundation members. Wollongong have 500, signatures but not one has paid a cent! Who would you choose? Oh and we are the Capital of Australia.

West Sydney? No-one had heard anything from their 3 bids, but you can be sure they will end up with one cashed up bid, eventually.

But a second team in Sydney could kill Sydney FC, and no-one wants that do they?

So we need to show we want a team. 750 Members is a great start but we need more.

So Canberra and the Region it's up to us. Let's do it.

Foundation Members will get to attend FREE the night with Ned Zelic and of course free entry to the W-League games for 5 years and you get a representation on the board of the club. When did that ever happen in Canberra sport?
