Some of you may have read that the Canberra bid team, backed by overseas football investors, is in advanced talks to enter the league.

Canberra is also being considered to enter the league sooner, possibly even in 2021-22, if one of the existing clubs falters.

I have heard that the Canberra bid team has talked with a coach who has strong links to both Newcastle and the ACT. If Newcastle were to lose its licence, I'd hope that most Newy fans would follow Canberra.
