Disclosure: I’m a registered member of MFC and as such, I guess I’m a single-share-holding member of the Trust that in turn has a 51% share in Ebbsfleet United.

Ian from 200Percent has written in quite some detail about MyFootballClub (thank you for the links, RR) and after going through all of them, I thought this would be a good forum to share them. Ian raises several interesting points in his articles (written in Nov 07 and Jan 08) and if you’re interested in learning more about MFC / Ebbsfleet as well as the issues surrounding them, you must read these articles.

Ian runs the excellent 200Percent blog.

As we’ve discussed earlier, the football blogging community is too dispersed and too divisive. Perhaps its because the key players are not experienced enough or because the niche itself hasn’t evolved from the traditional turf-grabbing mentality. In any case, I was a bit surprised to see last year that there was no recognition for quality blogs and bloggers in the football blogging niche.

Well, we’ve rectified that (and then some) with the Soccerlens 2007 Awards.

I deliberately launched this on a smaller scale to make it manageable the first around, but with the positive response this has received, I’m certain that the next time around will be much bigger (and hopefully, gain proper recognition). There are a lot of quality football bloggers around, and hopefully the awards can help shine the spotlight on some of them.
