Ebbsfleet United v A-League4Canberra
Ebbsfleet. taken over by myfootballclub have 35,000 members who pay $100 a year.
The members are from 70 countries across the World. Ebbsfleet play in Division 5 have no chance really of making the top league, never mind the Champions League.
Canberra on the other hand would play in the top league in Australia, have an opportunity to play in the Asian Champions League and a chance to play in the World Club Championship.
An Australian Club with a Share Ownership model.
I don't think any other club in any code in Australia has such a model.
20,000 members at $100 would give over $2 million per year.
Could such a model work in Australia, for Canberra?
Imagine if you could have a say in a football club, one in the Premier League of Australia.

That model would never work in canberra, if we cant get more than 2000 foundation members how in gods name will we get 20,000 to pay up each year? No other club has this model because it is unreliable and because they have proper investors. Ebbsfleet got lucky it was not by choice but desperation they launched this inititative.
Anyway I wouldnt trust anyone in this town to have a say in the running of a soccer team.

Not trusting "anyone in this town to have a say in the running of a soccer team," is a bit harsh...
I mean "anyone" why the fear?
