Es funktioniert offenbar mit dem Crowdfunding. Wir, eine Schar von 28.000 Mitglieder haben nicht nur die Kohle aufgebracht, wir haben auch mit einem echt sozialistischen Ergebnis von 95,9% den legendären Fußballverein Ebbsfleet United gekauft. Der Trikotsponsor in der nächsten Saison ist nach dem Willen einer ebenfalls großen Mehrheit aus meiner Sicht „leider“ Nike geworden.
Hier ist die offizielle Info-Mail von myfootballclub.co.uk:
