We are delighted to confirm that, after months of hard work, Folkestone Invicta FC is now full steam ahead with the installation of our brand-new 3G pitch at Cheriton Road.

This development marks a major step forward for the club and our community, and we’re excited about the future it will help us build. One that allows us to grow the game in the Folkestone & Hythe district and invest in developing home grown talent.

As with any major project, there has been some short term challenges and delays that coincided with the season ticket renewal period. This means that changes to our August and September fixtures are necessary. With league approval, any August home fixtures will be reversed to away, and in September we will temporarily groundshare with Margate FC, who have kindly stepped in at short notice. This ensures we meet the Step 3 stadium requirements while work continues, with completion scheduled for early October.

We fully understand the inconvenience caused to our loyal supporters and partners, but we are confident that the long term benefits of the new surface will be transformational for the club. We are also aware of the impact this has on season ticket holders and we are actively looking at how best we can address this. More updates including full fixture details will follow shortly.

Let’s get behind Jay and the team as we look ahead to an exciting season and the countdown to our return to Cheriton Road.

Thank you for your continued support, loyalty and patience during this transitional period.
