FFA came under a lot of fire over the last couple of years as they put all their attention and
resources into the World Cup Bid, at the expense of a still fragile national league sitting in an
over-subscribed professional sporting arena.
Now it seems things are improving.
We had the season changes, and like the AFL and NRL, some key planning has gone into making noise
at the right times.
The Capital doesn't have an A-League team, the FFA don't want the Capital, it can't be maintained
with the Brumbies and Raiders and now GWS in the city.
You've heard it all before.
But when you step back from the emotion it's Canberra's intelligence that can and needs to get it
over the line.
It was reaffirmed that Canberra's possible inclusion in the Hyundai A-League was
postponed for the forseeable future. The idea of a separate, stand-alone Canberra team in the
National Youth League was canvassed, but economic factors were identified as a major impediment at
this stage

Great news for Canberra's boys - they finally have somewhere to test their skills outside of the
confines of the local (tiny) boundary.
And it's one of our newest clubs, Boomerangs FC leading the way.
With Canberra FC back in the NSW Cup - okay it's only a limited number of games but it's a start -
and now the Boomerangs in the TOP NSW Futsal league finally, finally our boys post-15 might get
some opportunities worthy of their developing talents.
FFA have written to Canberra A-League Bid Leader (Friday last)stating if/when Canberra can raise
the $6 million start-up fund ($3.5 mill currently) and all other requirements being fulfilled the
FFA are very interested in a team from the Capital.
Hmmmm maybe so - but once bitten twice shy.
