FAMyFC

Fellow football fans, without whom our game would not be the national sport. First of all, we hope that you don't feel the need to delete this post, however we understand if you do. These are dark times, for some more than others. Whilst some clubs can afford salaries of £100k a week, some clubs need that (and more!) to survive a whole season. I write on behalf of a campaign for my local football club, Ebbsfleet United. In 2008, we won the FA Trophy at Wembley. The future looked great. Fast forward 5 years, and due to mismanagement, we find ourselves staring into oblivion, possibly going for good. At a recent meeting it was announced the EUFC need between 70 and 100k to survive. The owners cannot afford to fund the Club and the excellent fans who, time and time again, have dipped into their pockets, cannot keep affording it either. Fans have constantly given tens, hundreds, sometimes even thousands to the Club and they are now on the brink of losing the Club that they love. Short of finding a wealthy owner, we have started a 'Saving Grassroots' campaign. All we are asking for is £1. More would be welcomed, of course, but if enough people can donate just £1, we can clear the debts and start afresh. Cut the budgets, whatever it takes. We don't mind dropping divisions, we just don't want to lose our club. Would you want to lose your club? Any money that is donated via the Fleet Trust link below is ring-fenced and is only used to help the Club. If the need arises in the near future, then a Pheonix Club will begin and any money donated could go a long way to securing the future of that Club. We are putting this message all over and are grateful for every bit of support that we receive. ALL donations are greatly received. http://fleet-trust.co.uk/donate-now.php Thank you for your time everybody. FAMyFC (Fleet against MyFC), campaigning under the banner of 'Saving Grassroots
