Re: Best Loo-ser competition

Apathy is there now, let Ebbsfleet have new toiletts they will look nice in the Blue square south. +1 It felt like we were in a battle and it felt good but now.................nothing. Shame really. Blimey, it is early days yet. We ain't taking anything for granted yet. I doubt that the prize will ...

Re: Best Loo-ser competition

Comments from the Fleet forum This is about the worst thing that the organisers could do. Suspending the vote while clubs from the ‘less popular’ end of the footballing spectrum are winning could leave them open to charges of vote rigging. It appears obvious that they would prefer a more high profil...

Re: Best Loo-ser competition

i agree with the two posts above. £100k or nothing is a bit OTT However, the competition element does introduce a bit of fun and motivation though and let's face it, it has resulted in both you and us engaging with the fanbase far more than we would have. A good idea would be to offer £20k towards a...

Re: Best Loo-ser competition

As I said, embarrassing. You did say, yes. I'm not remotely embarrassed though. We took a club that was not far from going under and Ebbsfleet then won the FA Trophy, taking 25,000 fans to Wembley We eventually ran out of money but rallied and got promoted again. Like yourselves, it's always going ...

Re: Best Loo-ser competition

A lot do watch their local team. A lot have developed an affinity with the Fleet now though and are closer to them in terms of support than they are their local team. When you put money into a club and play a part in its decision making then that affinity grows. A lot left in the early days because...

Re: Best Loo-ser competition

That's true! Many live a long way from the ground to be fair and about 1000 of them are overseas. We do get visitors to the matches from overseas members every week too. That said, more should come to matches that do. Same could be said of most non league teams though unfortunately. most would prefe...

Re: Best Loo-ser competition

They will probably get more votes discounted than us. Also, I still have a load of email addresses and family members whose name and address I know, so I'll get busy with that when they have changed the rules. I'm sure they are a few but there is no real need for us to cheat TBH. We have only conta...

Re: Best Loo-ser competition

We're now behind by almost 400! How? Do Shamsfleet FC have more fans than us? Are they better at mobilising their forces? Are they cheating? Is it the Gypsys Curse? Or is it a southern conspiracy? Either way we have to redouble our efforts - onwards together! Yes we have more fans Yes we can mobili...

Re: Best Loo-ser competition

It would make sense to share the dosh yes. At this rate, one of us is going to continue to have holes in the ground and the other is going to have marbled Jaccuzzi's :lol:

Re: Best Loo-ser competition

Greetings from Ebbsfleet.

The same is happening to us. Votes made recorded as Barrow votes and confirmations not being received.

We will probably scrap it out for a month then their whole site will go down. lol.
