MyFootballClub complete takeover of Ebbsfleet United

Terry Lane - Wednesday 20.02.08, 17:25pm

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.

    I should be going to watch the Fleet in action for the first time when they play at Northwich on 1st March - really looking forward to it!

    I would like to see a lot more teams to down this route. Capitalism is ruining the game. Give it back to the people I say
