Going into this game top of the league , let’s roar the house down.

Folkestone have just announced Jay Saunders as their new boss on a 4 year deal ! Let’s hope they don’t have the new boss bounce this coming weekend, from their forum they were woeful on Saturday against Chatham so more of the same pls this weekend.

If we are going to win this league we will need to be at our best regardless over the 5 games and I’m sure the teams best will win us through

He doesn't become their new manager until next season, he'll stay at Tonbridge until the end of this season.

Thanks I just read that seems odd still being at Tonbridge however doing interviews on the Folkestone fans forum tonight

The Folkestone Chairman has too much money……probably more than sense??

It seems like things have changed during the day at Tonbridge and Jay Saunders has left with immediate effect. Evidently the interviews on the Folkestone fans forum didn't take place either.

So let’s make this thread active as it’s a massive game !

Prediction time on score and attendance

2-1 Darts and a massive 2100 attendance

COYD’s ! Guessing Folkestone will bring a few as a Kent derby and they have a new manager in attendance.

Hmmm. 1200. 2-1 Darts. Jones, Marsden and D’sane the heroes.

I recon I might have over predicted attendance SD where’s I think you might be a little light, hopefully somewhere inbetween lol

Go on then, I’ll play.
1311 & 3-1 Darts. Golden goal 13th minute.
Looks like a lovely day for it. Will be a bit of a Wanderers fan as well tomorrow!

100% let’s hope Tom does us a favour tomorrow and plays a blinder against Bill and Ricky

Sitting in Starbucks, nerves and excitement feeling in my belly.
I love days like this. 3pm we roar them on and we make it a nightmare for Folkestone.
We are the 12th man and we’re bloody successful at it over the years, we go again today and do our part.
Bring it on.

2-0 Darts with a brace from Olly
1511 in attendance

Great start to my match day. M2 solid with an accident.
Busy going nowhere

Jack West-Astuti is a keeper who is on loan from Aveley at present. He’s had a lot of clubs over the years and has been with at least 4 this season conceding 7 goals in 4 games for Aveley.

Fingers crossed we won’t need him at all but it’s good to have an experienced keeper on the bench just in case over these last 5 games.

Welcome Jack.

Has Box got an injury do we know?
