Folkestone Invicta FC is scheduled to host a live fans’ forum on Monday 23 February 2026 at The Dugout Sports Bar at the Alcaline Stadium in Folkestone, Kent. The event is scheduled to feature Chairman Josh Healey and First Team Manager Jay Saunders, giving supporters an opportunity to put questions directly to club leaders; attendees should note that the manager’s attendance has in the past been subject to change and the club’s statement on the day should be checked.
The session will give residents and season-ticket holders a chance to ask about player availability, ticketing and matchday arrangements. Historically, the club’s fans’ forums have opened doors at 6:30pm for a 7:00pm start and have operated on a first-come, first-served basis; reporters should confirm the exact start time and entry policy in the club announcement for this date.
Jay Saunders signed a four-year contract to become Folkestone Invicta’s manager in March 2025 and, as of February 2026, is nearing the end of his first full season in charge. Josh Healey became involved as chairman in mid-2023 (club statement dated 10 July 2023) and has driven a move toward a more professional model at Cheriton Road, including investment in The Dugout and other stadium commercial initiatives.
Organisers say the forum is intended to maintain transparency with the local community as the club pursues its ambitions to climb the football pyramid. Topics expected to be discussed include the retained list and recruitment for the 2026–27 season, facilities and matchday improvements, and the club’s role as a community meeting place.
