Please write CBC and thank them for what is the most amazing soccer coverage this country has ever seen.

Get your friends to do it.
Get your soccer club to do it
Get the guy who owns a bar to do it
Get the guy who owns a soccer store do it...

You get the idea.

Email or physical letters.

The numbers were great, but a response is even better.

Thanks,
Jamie

Yeah, great idea. Perhaps something more formal from the Voyageurs would be good too.

Do you hint at future CMNT coverage in your letters/emails?

Very entertaining comments on the CBC link Raven.
I wonder, out of the many who posted, are aware that the Dominion Football Association. was formed in Toronto in 1877 and is the oldest recorded Soccer association outside of the British Isles?
