Ebbsfleet United are calling on their fans to support the club financially after recent bad weather has left the coffers bare.

With the club sitting at the bottom of the Conference Premier League and having suffered postponements in recent weeks, income has dropped and the side are struggling to stay afloat.

The club have issued the following statement on the official website to make fans aware of the situation:

“In all seriousness and joking aside, now is the time to stand up and be counted. Whether you are MyFC, Fleet Trust, both or one of our loyal supporters who just enjoys watching the Fleet, please lose your pounds now!”

“The unfortunate timing of the weather and home fixtures being cancelled has really left the club strapped for cash and the coffers are bare!”

“LOSE YOUR POUNDS OR LOSE YOUR CLUB!!!!!”

“The Football Club is asking EVERY MyFootballClub member, EVERY Fleet Trust Member and EVERY Supporter near and far to donate a minimum amount of £30.00 or as much as you can afford to save the club.”

“Please do not ignore this plea, it is very real and has been decided as a last resort today here at the club.”

“Many thanks for your continued support and belief.”

“All the Staff at Ebbsfleet United.”

“The club will be open on Saturday to take payments over the phone or in person.”
