quote:What happened to MyFootballClub – the club where fans decided everything?
Ebbsfleet United’s takeover by an online community in 2008 made national headlines but the dream quickly turned sour as reality bit and interest waned
“Being a passionate football fan I’m pleased I didn’t gently caress up a football club. I was always very careful, I didn’t want to do anything too reckless because I know how important football clubs are to people. I was never going to do anything that was going to put that into jeopardy. That was an achievement. It could have been an absolutely monumental car crash and it wasn’t. We didn’t create absolute mayhem, which is what some people predicted.”
It was supposed to signal the dawn of a new age of football fandom. Although there have been plenty of imitators, Ebbsfleet United will always be the first professional sports club owned and run by an online community. With more than 32,000 members at the height of its popularity, MyFootballClub offered a form of wish-fulfilment for football fans. It was the chance to be a hybrid of manager and chairman – sanctioning transfers, choosing the team, propelling a little-known club up the league pyramid. It was a fantasy for armchair experts, but one which never quite became reality.
