Ted Crilley Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I'm a new muppet. I'm looking forward to being a new supporter of The Fleet. The cash injection and the number of new fans it will create will only be a good thing for the club. I, like numerous others from MyFC, will be purchasing merchandise and visiting both home and away games. I don't consider myself as a co-owner or manager, just a new fan who wants to push Ebbsfleet as high as they can possibly go. All the worry about MyFC members having the influence on team selection isn't so bad. Ebbsfleet games are (apparently)going to be shown live on the website and the new fans will have the chance to see the team regularly if they can't make the game. Team selection will only start after a transitional period when people have familiarised themselves with the players. Liam Daish is to give training ground reports on each player. I'm sure Daish will still be picking the team with suggestive powers and only very rarely the team will differ from the team that he would want to pick. Promotion to the Football League is guaranteed within the next two years. C'mon The Fleet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Crilley Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 I said that I'm looking forward to becoming a new supporter. Surely all new supporters of your club should be embraced. I know how difficult a time it must be for all Ebbsfleet fans but I'm sure that good times are ahead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsheard Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Originally Posted By: Ted Crilley Promotion to the Football League is guaranteed within the next two years. Nothing is guaranteed. I'm as enthusiastic as any MyFC member, but let's be a little more realistic. If you turn out to be correct, I'll celebrate with you. But if it doesn't happen, we keep working to make the club better, year after year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Pearce Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Bolx Can't you read, you and the other so called stakeholders are not wanted. Take your money elsewhere. I am now a supporter of the all new Gravesend and Northfleet 2007 FC, anyone with me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffin Ender Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 But there are some things that happen at football clubs that have to stay behind closed doors. What if a couple of players have a fight in training? What if one confesses to Liam Daish that he has a drink problem? Will he be obliged to share that kind of information - which, after all, is relevant to whether they should be in the team - with 50,000 strangers?

Des O'Connor Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Just wait to see what happens in the next couple of weeks, I'm sure things won't turn out to be as abrasive as it initially sounds. I too am a new nutter/muppet/Gravesend&Northfleet/Ebbsfleet fan, and I can understand every fans concerns, I would be alarmed if suddenly one day, hundreds of people came onto the Hereford forum (Home town club) and announced that they were now die hard fans. They're not, and not all of them know what they're on about either, but having read a great deal about MyFC I sincerly believe the vast majority of people signed up do, which obviously makes the difference in voting matters. I truely believe that things will continue smoothly at Ebbsfleet, just with a few more fans. My guess is that the team that Liam Daish decides on every week will be the one on the field at 3 o'clock. I should think that if it all goes through, that there will be a substantial amount of cash for the January window to try and secure a playoff place. As I said, I can see why you are all alarmed, but wait a while until all the information is know, if you still don't like it, then take any action that you feel is appropiate. Your new fan (and long time Chuck fan) Des. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If all you new fans are really doing this for the good of the club(and not your inflated egos), why not all buy Season Tickets, and really put some money into the club!

Des Des, I am not going to respond to your attempt at humour...we are both adults and both fully aware that your wife (namely marjorie) was taken from me, by you last last year, after she was exposed to and taken in by your smarmy charms... You can stick your stew, where the sun doesnt shine and tell marjorie, that I still have her prized cactus collection and it'll be the biggest shock she has ever had, when I surprise her with it, at the next church social event. yours Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All's fair in love and war Greg, remember that sunshine. If I ever catch you hanging around my tennis courts again, God help me, I won't be held responible for my actions. You can stick the cacti where it hurts. Marj tells me you enjoy it. I've seen the pictures.....Dykey. Yours Des Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
