Fleet Trust chairman Jessica McQueen has urged supporters to turn out in force for Ebbsfleet's FA Cup first round clash at Crewe on Saturday.

The Blue Square Premier side will be looking to cause an upset when they take on the League 1 strugglers, but they go into the game on the back of a 3-1 defeat against Burton Albion.

McQueen is hoping up to 500 supporters make the trip. She said: "One coach is full and we’ve already got more than 20 people booked on the second one. At the moment interest has dwindled since Saturday, but I’m hoping people will get over that."

After five consecutive league defeats, McQueen believes Saturday’s tie will provide a welcome distraction.

"People are excited and it gives them something to think about other than the league position," she added.

"If we can get through this round it will do wonders for the team, supporters and the football club as a whole."

Tickets cost £13 adults, £7 OAPs, £6 concessions and £3 under-12s.

Anyone interested in booking coach travel should contact Jessica on 07729 263977. Alternatively, call 01622 694016 or email travel@fleet-trust.co.uk

Coach travel will cost no more than £20.
