Ebbsfleet United offering free coach travel to supporters for their trip to National League South leaders Sutton United

Ebbsfleet are looking to take 10 coachloads of supporters to Sutton on Saturday.

The game between the top two sides in National League South is likely to determine the outcome of the title race and Fleet will be well-backed at Gander Green Lane.

Free coach travel has been provided by the club and manager Daryl McMahon knows how much a large away support could lift his players on the day.

He said: "The fans this year, on the road especially, have been unbelievable for us. They’ve been exceptional.

"The crowd on Saturday was the best it’s been all season. I know we had a community day and a few more in the building, probably a few more drinks drunk as well, but the atmosphere was outstanding.

"There’s a video going round of our fans when we scored the goals and the reaction and the support for the players is unbelievable. The players buzzed off it to be fair.

"Hopefully we get that again on Saturday."

There was a similar message from vice-chairman Peter Varney.

He said: "The Sutton United match on Saturday is probably one of the most important matches this club has played for some years and the support of our fans will be vital.

"They were brilliant at Hayes & Yeading and at home to Chelmsford City on Saturday and we need them to turn out in large numbers again this Saturday.

"I want us to turn Gander Green Lane into a sea of red and white.

"We are making coach travel free and I understand that we are already on our sixth coach. With our crowds growing week by week I don’t think it is unrealistic to take 10 coaches and I urge everyone who can to make the journey by coach, rail or car to do so and cheer the team on."
