'GO GO Ebbsfleet'

Non League Ebbsfleet
comment on the article

You'll always be Gravesend and Northfleet to me, and it's a shame that their original name is not being represented at Wembley today.

But that said, stuff the gulls lads and make us all proud.

A precursor to promotion next season

Watched the game through the web, well deserved win for ebbsfleet. Should have been a few more goals in the game across both teams mind...

in what way was this well deserved?

torquay had all the chances and sould have been 3 up in 15 mins. once ebbsfleet got the penalty they played better and just after half time but the closer to the end it was torquay again.

ebbsfleet suporters were good, aplauding torquay at the end.

torquay deserved more from this season and this game.

Good luck next season one of the few clubs in this league I will miss.

Well, grecianfaniow clearly a gullhater...sad to season a season of nothing after such promise...but that could be you grecians next week as well.
I get the impression you guys think all you have to do is turn up at Wembley next week and that's it!
Sounds good to me...you thought that against Morecambe last year and got stuffed 2-1.

We may be slight underdogs but we will give you one hell of a game and personally think we'll sneak it by the odd goal...up the Mighty U's!..well done the 'fleet anyway!

Was a good atmos all game, and I'm glad the other fans from kent up for the day at wembley appluded the Torquay fans after the game finished. The played their part in the match, but simpley couldnt hit the target.

A great day out had by all (well aside from fulltime for the losing team, who speaking to a few fans was told they had 7hour journey home!)

It was a close game. In reality should have been about 3-2 to Gravesend. They had a coupl eof good chances at the start, the header or the shot that hit the side netting easily could have gone in. Then Gravesend had a lot of chances up the other end. We played a lot better in the secondhalf and Akinde hit the post. Torquay only really looked dangerous from crosses. We were so poor in the air!
Great atmosphere though. Loved the Mexican waves

well someone had to applaud Torquay as after the game there fans just vanished, must be hard for them though to lose last week and then travel all this way to see there strikers not brong there shooting boots.
Ebbsfleet just shaded chances 5-3 so the win was deserved.
