Ebbsfleet Football Club???

I think we agree on one thing though, this is not the first time that the Reporter have cocked up using a Star Trek themed front page.

 

Who remembers Beam us up Scally?

You can't blame them really, after all, Melody Ryall does have the look of a Ferengi about her!!

Very informative. However I am sure that Gravesend isn't currently the town in Kent with the largest population. I think that 'honour' lies with Gillingham.

i think the wording is ' Kent Thamesides' largest populous.

 

Kent Thameside was touted as being an alternative to the name Dartford or Ebbsfleet International and is a word that those outside the area use to describe our green and marshy land.

Ebbsfleet? At present on the field the team are achieving rather more in the way of ebbing than flowing! I still don't understand where this investment money is supposed to be coming from. How many Ebbsfleet plc businesses are there out there? Simply changing our name doesn't make us any different a club than we are at present.

At present - Exactly agree with you

 

For the future - Worth exploring - I think it will do .

to be honest whilst I will defend the club at all times, the name itself Gravesend and Northfleet has always been a bug bear. I can't stand it, its too bloody long , too non league and it irks me that Gravesend gets top billing altho the grounds nowhere near it.

I am all for the change, and whilst I would not want to upset the local Ebbsfleet FC team. This name is perfect for us.

It accurately describes the location of our current ground, and our future ground. It will be a name that everyone will soon be aware of with the International station opening, and will be the name of a new modern forward thinking town on the clubs doorstep.
Many people will be using Ebbsfleet station from the surrounding areas in years to come, and thus would unite under its name. I would not be able to unite behind any name like Gravesham Borough, and would have thought that should be avoided at all costs.
One advantage of Ebbsfleet is that we could still affectionately be known as 'The Fleet' , which would mean a lot.

It is something that I dont say lightly as regards to where football is concerned I am a bit of a traditionalist but I think this is an ideal time for the club to take the plunge.

Its taken a time but we got there. If what I hear is true.
