Ebbsfleet Utd’s Big Day Out ends happily

What a great day for Ebbsfleet United, and yah-boo sucks (oh yes, my arguments are cultured) to over-opinionated, under-informed fools like Martin Samuel in The Times, who just took the easy option and stuck the boot into My Football Club without stopping to think that perhaps – just perhaps – these 29,000 souls who’ve invested real money into a real football team might be proper football supporters, not kids having a laugh.

The huge Ebbsfleet following at Wembley today was as real as it comes, and included many thousands of new supporters from all over the world joining the army from Kent. The powerful developments at this club which are being driven by the MyFC project are going to have a positive impact throughout football in the long run. So it might not change the game, but it’s another small and solid step away from the direction in which the game is being dragged.

Commiserations to Torquay, whose season has ended in such disappointment, but someone had to lose for those of us in red to have had such a good time. You may not believe in fate, but what were the chances of Ebbsfleet United getting to Wembley for the first time in the club’s long history (never mind winning), so soon after 29,000 real supporters took over? This thing is going to be really exciting, and today will go down as a remarkable start. Worth the £35 subscription fee on its own? You bet.

Got anything to say? Go ahead and leave a comment!
