Ebbsfleet United Football Club is a professional football club based in Northfleet, Kent, England. The club was founded in 1946 as Gravesend & Northfleet F.C. and adopted its current name in 2007. The club's history is marked by several significant events and achievements, making it a notable part of English football.
Ebbsfleet United's journey began in the Southern League, where they spent over 50 years, winning the Southern League Championship twice. The club also had a successful run in the FA Trophy, winning it for the first time in 2008. This victory was particularly significant as it came in the same year that the club was taken over by the web-based venture MyFootballClub, making Ebbsfleet the first team to be owned by an online community.
The MyFootballClub era was a unique chapter in Ebbsfleet's history. The online platform had over 27,000 members from more than 70 countries, all of whom had an equal say in the club's affairs, from team selection to transfer policy. However, this experiment ended in 2013 when the club was sold to Kuwaiti-based KEH Sports Ltd due to financial difficulties.
In terms of league performance, Ebbsfleet United has spent most of its history in the lower tiers of English football. The club's highest-ever league position came in the 2017-18 season when they finished 6th in the National League, just one tier below the English Football League.
The club's home ground is Stonebridge Road, a stadium with a capacity of over 4,000. Known for its passionate fan base, Ebbsfleet United has cultivated a strong local following over the years. The club's primary colours are red and white, and their nickname is 'The Fleet'.
Despite the ups and downs, Ebbsfleet United has remained a resilient and beloved part of the local community. The club's commitment to grassroots football, youth development, and community engagement has earned it a special place in the hearts of its fans. From its humble beginnings to its unique experiment in fan ownership, Ebbsfleet United's journey is a testament to the enduring spirit of English football.
