Are Gold Coast junior soccer players better than, and more in number than the thousands in Canberra
and the surrounding region.
Well, no and no, is the answer.
But the current Gold Coast United A-League franchise, despite only pulling a couple of thousand
people per game, and losing almost half their squad this year, still have a pathway and youth model
any young player or parent of a young player in Canberra, would die for.
It could happen.
Take Canberra United women's team - and divorce it from Capital Football - and now would be a great
time.
Capital Football do what they are best at - grassroots and local competitions.
The Canberra United professional set-up would gain further expertise and focus in their elite area
and Canberra United would expand to run and promote the elite game in town.
