Ebbsfleet's finances have been given a major boost, after the Premier League gave Conference clubs a £1million cash injection.

The money comes on the back of the loss of television revenue from failed broadcaster Setanta.

That left a shortfall of around £85,000 in the Fleet's budget. While the payment will not cover all of that loss, it is expected to run into tens of thousands of pounds.

Ebbsfleet fans and their Myfootballclub owners have been trying to increase revenue streams throughout the summer in a bid to improve manager Liam Daish's wage budget.

Dover, Welling and Bromley are also in line for a cash boost, but Blue Square South clubs will receive considerably less than the Blue Square Premier counterparts.
