And if you'd read my thread on the MYFC forum, you'd see at every possible juncture I repeat the exact same thing concerning the local fans. Without them the club would not be here, and all I've repeatedly stated is that MYFC should do all they can to put the club further into the local communities consciousness, because one sure way for this to fail is if the local fans disappear. No one is blind to the obvious.

As usual, statements read in written form mean different things to different people and often instigate emotions that they were not intended to provke. Nothing was written to "patronise" anyone; I thought it must be cool if only for the players to see such good support on an away game and I thought it was very cool that so many old and new fans got to see a very good game of footy and an excellent result for Ebbsfleet (if had said "us", that would have been patronising). Having another game to the fixture list is the only downside.

I would think all fans of Ebbsfleet, new and old, have a common desire - the betterment of the club itself. A lot of people are waiting, and wanting this to fail, but I don't care about them, they can't see beyond their own frustration and desires; what I do care about is making sure that everything is done with one purpose and one purpose only; having success on the field and making Ebbsfleet a better club for everyone, especially the local fans.

Hear hear, well said.

I am not going to get into the debate about who is best, more loyal etc other than saying.
The deal is now done and dusted, and nothing much can change it.
Those people that want the club to survive,will have to get on with it and make the best of it.
Those that object to the deal so much that they want nothing to do with the deal, log off leave the remaining supporters to get on with it by backing the club.
The deal cannot be stopped, so ship up or ship out, ( very Fleetish huh) and no I am not a member of Myfc

Totally agree Busta. If an old git like me can accept it, so can Harry, mind you I would have thought H would have been to young to have been supporting in the sixties. Your ageing well Harry.

 

[Harry J Allstars]

Have you two not read the thread?

 

The debate is not about who has supported the club longer, I can hardly lay claim to that, it was about someone saying that this club is nothing without MyFC which is completly false.

 

It's all done and dusted now anyway.

I read it Harry, but incorrectly,I blame that on repetitive nature of the post and old age Plus I am the best and no one else

[Harry J Allstars]

Your are the best Busta.

 

On that at least we agree.
