With everything set up for them to clinch the Ryman League Division One South title on Good Friday, Folkestone Invicta FC took the decision to reduce prices for their home game against Walton & Hersham.
And what a day they had as 1,545 spectators came through the turnstiles of the Fullicks Stadium in bright sunshine to witness a 6-0 victory for the home side which moved them on to 99 points for the season and an unaissalable lead over Dorking Wanderers.
Speaking to the official club website, director Cliff Egan said: "The crowd exceeded all expectations and it’s just a thought that if half the number who attended yesterday’s game returned each week we could really push this club towards the National League."
The champions move on to Easter Monday and a local derby at Herne Bay where the hosts will be having a 'Pay What You Want' fixture on 5 April against Ramsgate with all proceeds going to the Kent, Surrey and Sussex Air Ambulance Trust after the original fixture had to be abandoned at half-time because of a serious clash of heads between players from either side, both of whom have since been given the all-clear.
