Folkestone Invicta are slashing prices for
this weekend’s home game with Walton Casuals following last
Saturday’s unexpected thrashing at the Buzzlines Stadium.
Manager Neil Cugley (pictured) and the
players will make up the shortfall in gate returns as they look to
reward their loyal fans who, up until last weekend, hadn’t seen the
team lose at home this season.
Folkestone were on the end of a shock 4-0 home
defeat to Merstham in Ryman League Division 1 South.
Cugley said: “I didn’t see that one coming and
their centre forwards gave us the run-around. It’s disappointing
because we know how well we can play. It’s all about bouncing back
now.
“We are lucky to have such a good fan base
here with good people who come to support us and it is the right
thing to do.
“We feel we have let them down.”
Admission for adults will be just £4 – half
the usual £8 – while concessions will be charged £2 from the normal
£5 admission price.
One player who was missed at the weekend
was defender Liam Friend, through suspension but he will
be back this weekend.
“We do miss him because he has a lot of pace,”
said Cugley.
Friend is likely to slot straight back into the team but
midfielder Darren Marsden is unavailable.
