Ebbsfleet are facing an uncertain future after thousands of their MyFC owners deserted the club.
It is being reported that less than 10,000 of the 32,000 membership at peak remain with the unique project as the bulk of renewals for membership went unanswered. Some claim that the renewal rate is just 14%, with half the membership remaining yet to get to the one year stage, and insufficient monies have been raised to see the club through the season.
The club are losing a reported £60,000 a month, with the MyFC project pumping up to £500,000 into it on top of the £635,000 purchase price. However heavy spending has not brought results with the club lying just two points above the Conference drop zone, although gates have increased by 20% this season to around 1,300.
Member interest in Ebbsfleet has been waning since the summer. 7,500 voted in the poll to sell striker John Akinde to Bristol City in August, but just 3,000 gave an opinion on signing defender Darius Charles last month and less than 500 voted on whether they should pick the team for their postponed match with Wrexham.
Meanwhile, Northwich have had six of their unpaid players ask to leave following Steve King's resignation as manager at the weekend. Four of the six are non-contract, with all of them King's signings from his short reign.
