Get behind us and help create history – that’s the message from Neil Cugley to the people of Folkestone as title glory looms large.

More than half a century since the town last celebrated a league championship, Invicta are now on the verge of ending that long wait.

They host Corinthian Casuals on Saturday and Walton & Hersham on Good Friday knowing victory in both games could carry them over the finishing line.

Moments like this don’t come around often and Cugley wants as many people as possible to get to the Fullicks Stadium for 3pm.

He said: "It is a unique situation we’re in. To try to win a title so early in the year, it would be nice if everybody gets behind the club now.

"Come along. We’re not a bad side, we try to play football the right way and we don’t abuse the referees or anything like that.

"Let’s hope people come along and we can put on a show for them and they can help us win the league.

"The lads play better in front of bigger crowds. For what they’ve achieved this year, to get so far ahead, they deserve bigger crowds and people getting behind them, cheering them on to a championship.

"It’s such a rare thing to win a championship, especially at Folkestone, where it’s not been done for years. It’s a chance now for people to get behind the players and the club.

"I hope people come out to watch the games this Saturday and on Good Friday. The players deserve it and it helps the coffers at the club as well so everybody benefits."

Saturday’s game promises to be a real contest, with Corinthian Casuals knocking on the door of the play-offs. Folkestone, meanwhile, have won their last 11 home games and are 16 points clear with eight games left.

Cugley said: "They always try to play football the right way and it’ll be a hard game.

"To go to Faversham and win (as Casuals did last Saturday), not many people have done that this year.

"People do like coming to Folkestone because the pitch is good and we get good crowds but we’ve always got to try to send them away with nothing."

A knee injury forced Scott Heard out of last Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Walton Casuals but the midfielder should be available for selection this weekend.

Left-back Nat Blanks could feature for the first time since early February after recovering from a calf injury.
