Canberra A-League bid...been busy

Organising stuff for the Canberra A-League bid.

Phones running hot, there's talking and smoozing going on. It's feeling good.

Came out of the A-League Committee meeting last night, a lot of purpose, a lot of focus starting to happen.

Money, real money changes many things and it seems the Canberra bid is going ahead at real pace.

Next Tuesday 2pm FFA Headquarters Sydney. Ivan Slavich will present the Canberra case.

The easy bit the start-up $6 million reckon we're all over that one.
The next bit: Infrastructure, we have some of the best in Australia.
The community: We need to connect, and start to connect in a real way over the coming months. We can once we are at this stage.

And the hard bit; getting the annual $6 million plus budget to build a really strong club. Bit by bit we're starting to tick the boxes.

Can you assist to open doors, can you assist to volunteer to take the message to the community. Contact me if you can, or watch the official website details to go up soon. A smalll amount of time, be a part of the bid, hand out leaflets, stand at shopping centres in the coming weeks, W-League games, at the Clubs, meet the children talk the message, can you do that? One hour a month, one hour a week?

And Saturday's Canberra Times, expect to see a big article in The Forum section of the paper and SBS World Game will run the story on Sunday...miss it and catch it on the Web.

We'll never get as close as this, so let's get it over the line.

good luck with the bid.

you can read the passion that you and other canberrans have for this bid.

sometimes i worry about the "franchise" nature of the a-league clubs, but as long as their are fans staking their ownership, it can`t go too wrong.
