Following Monday night’s EGM of EUFC shareholders, MyFootballClub members have formally completed the takeover of the football club.
The completion of the deal is the world’s first website-community takeover of a football club, and the first website-community takeover of any business.
Formerly known as Gravesend and Northfleet, over 28,250 MyFootballClub members have purchased a 75% stake in the Blue Square Premier (former Conference) non-league football club, based in Kent.
Ebbsfleet United are currently ninth in the Blue Square Premier League table, twelve points off the play-offs.
