Couldn't believe it, so had to look it up. The thread that follows is a good laugh https://twitter.com/OUFCOfficial/status/1125707255750561793 |

Maybe for the sake of rivalry we should start vocally supporting Thai republicanism?
Might get Flashheart in trouble mind.

Whats worse is the cost of flights/hotels has skyrocketed. Its going to cost the best part of a few grand for most fans. |

Another club on the verge of going out of business apparently. Ebsfleet United. Unpaid wages a few times this year, the whole team put up for free transfer and wages not paid this month again. https://www.kentonline.co.uk/gravesend/sport/fleet-offer-free-transfers-204562/ |

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

Weren't Ebsfleet one of those social media fan ownership test cases years back? |

It is a bit ridiculous  But from recollection the FA are no better, when we played Preston in the playoff final wasn't it a 5.30 kick off for TV and thus you could not physically travel back to Preston from the game by public transport.... |

I might be wrong, but weren't Preston sponsored by Virgin Trains, too. |
