I have used search and I can't see this being discussed, so apologies if I have missed a pre-existing thread on this.
There is an understandable concern that the second Sydney bid is our main competitor - the Meisner bid in particular looks solid and although there may be some slightly suspect business deals in the past, that would hardly count as reasons to exclude. In EPL it is almost a p...

This probably doesn't belong in this section, but I realise that most people look in this sub-forum so I will post in here.

Watching the Central Coast and Adelaide games to the past couple of days I reckon we'll be in for a great game this Saturday. Both teams lost but it over the past couple of weeks have shown both should be there come finals time.

Considering it is a Saturday, we should get quite a few away fans coming for the game.

IMO we will get 7,000.

PLEASE ENCOURAGE ALL YOUR MATES, FAMILY, THE RANDOM MAN ON THE STREET, EVERYONE, to get their arse out to Canberra Stadium to show support for Canberra football.

FIRE UP!!!!
