One thing I certainly don't agree with

Are you planning to do them now you do know?

If I have to wait a few weeks to order the team shirt, it won't kill me. I'd love to be wearing it today, of course, but like most MyFC members, we plan to be around a long time. In fact, we had several discussions about merchandise on the MyFC site and every one came back to the fact that we asked MyFC members only to buy from sources where the most funds went directly to the club.

We've been described here as a cult. Hyperbole, obviously, but our enthusiasm for this idea, and now for this club, does feel that way, without the creepy Kool-Aid and bedsheets thing.

And if the deal doesn't go through, I won't be asking for a shirt refund. That's fair enough.

Can't believe you have Myfc shirt!

Will you all be wearing your MyFc shirts at future games - just so we know who you are.

No, I suspect everyone will be wearing a EUFC shirt if they can find one before then. Thanks much for the noose icon. Always good to see.

I will not be wearing a MyFC shirt.

 

Firstly they do not do them in my size, and secondly I do not consider myself to be part of a group that needs corporate identity.

or indeed a need to set itself apart from others.

Only a metaphor for how people are feeling, no offence intended. I'm sure there will be more common ground when people meet in the flesh.

It didn't take the G&N bosses by surprise ffs! The extra hits on the website were inevitable and predictable. Why they didn't move to a server with higher bandwidth last week in advance of the announcement can only be explained by one thing - incompetence. Personally, it is the admin staff I will be paying more attention to than the playing staff when the takeover goes through. I find it astonishing that the camera person is paid on a per copy basis and retains rights. Any half-decent organisation would sign him to a full buyout deal (and pay him a proper fee not chump change). The more I discover about behind-the-scenes stuff at G&N the more I question the competence of the people currently running the day to day activities of the club. And why the hell are Charlton's women's team allowed to play at Stonebridge whilst at the same time G&N's own ladyteam is playing at some poxy leisure centre. Kicking Charlton out in favour of G&N's women is the first thing I will strongly push for when we formally take over the club.

Welcome to Ebbsfleet United!

Er, the poxy leisure centre happens to be the Fleet Leisure Centre owned by the club and is the training ground and also where the youth team play. Charlton reserves also play at Stoneberidge Road do you want to throw them out too and loose a revenue stream and alienate a club who has provided us with several players in the past - good idea.

Having said that they probably won't want to stay anyway.

Speaking of Fleet Leisure, is that part of the deal does anyone know?
