Ebbsfleet's future in doubt as suspension is extended
Ebbsfleet United's suspension from the National League is extended, putting the club's future in serious doubt.
Ebbsfleet United have settled a tax debt while facing an extended suspension from the National League. The club's first three games of the season were suspended due to financial issues, and the National League concluded that no significant changes had been made. The club has been given time to show compliance with the league's regulations, but they must now demonstrate they have paid HMRC the full amount owed.
The payment, originally due yesterday, arrived at the club too late for the deadline and will be submitted by September 1st. This extension means away and home matches planned for August 29th and 31st will not take place.
