I don't think so. this wouldnt be the only case of a canberra team in the same comp as AIS canberra based team and it works very well in the WNBL and such with both clubs having a good backing. Canberra has a huge football population especially amongst the junior.. Their is a reason the Kanga cup is held here and not elsewhere in aus. from the get go you would see both clubs with a 5 - 10k membership base. you dont bring them both in at once clearly, but eventually there should be those two clubs thriving side by side.

And this article here says, O'Neill initially planned to have only these 8 foundation clubs, for the first 5 seasons... But seems to have changed his mind of late... Two of either, Townsville, Woolongong, or Canberra (the 3 names thrown around this thread already) are could potentially expand the A-League to 10, by 2007/08... http://www.theworldgame.com.au/a-league/in...id=st&cid=73994 Personally i think, thats a little early even.... But 2008/09 would be wonderful... ---------------------------------- T'ville FC - Rocking like a mofo! :yeah:
