Hitchin Town may come up against the club that has been dubbed "Websfleet" after a website, MyFootballClub, gained a majority stake in Ebbsfleet United.
The controversial move, which has attracted huge publicity – not all of it good – means that Ebbsfleet is controlled by more than 20,000 people. In the summer, Gravesend & Northfleet changed their name to Ebbsfleet, against the wishes of many of the club’s fans.
Of course, Hitchin have to negotiate their third qualifying round tie against Carshalton Athletic on Tuesday night before they can contemplate Ebbsfleet.
