I said I followed, not supported. By following, it promotes a bit of interest when I watch the Premier Blue Square on Setanta.
I SUPPORT the Central Coast Mariners and that will never stop...Yellow Forever!!
You guys should be pleased that some people OS actually show some interest the Conference League and below...I bet not many of you would know anything about the Australian A-League!
So because I followed Weymouth for a bit of interest, Yes, it is as easy as changing my support for a team, especially as it may mean having an involvment within the team.
I would hate to be in your shoes, watching my local team turn into World FC. But it may be reality soon, and your little town and team will be in the International Spotlight. I hope you guys have some good drinking holes there, as Im sure you're going to attract a new breed of tourist, and not to mention the addition of an International Train Station. You're lives are really going to be rocked over the next few years!
As for my support, if the deal goes through, my support for Ebbsfleet will not be forever, but it be unconditional while I have an interest in the club and continue to pay for my membership. That includes purchasing club merchandise, attending games when in the UK, viewing forums daily and promoting the club back in Australia. This may be for only a year, it may be till the day I die, and I think you'll find it will be the same for all MyFC members. Remember, thats who we are....MyFC members, and while we have a controlling stake in Ebbsfleet, all MyFC members will be Ebbsfleet supporters.

Any beer over here has to be "iced" down(unfortunately)!
I was a Bitter drinker in England, over here they think it means you upset people!
For any expat looking for a bitter, pommy style, there is a Pub at St Albans about an hour north of Sydney (past Wiseman's Ferry) that sells bitter beer pommy style. Tastes bloody good too. He reckons he is 1 of 2 Pubs in NSW who sell it.
