Great news

[Ramsgate Football Club @RamsgateFC]

🏟️ STADIUM IMPROVEMENTS UPDATE 🏟️

We are pleased to have received planning approval from the Council today which will enable a number of exciting improvements to Southwood Stadium.

The plans will allow new electronic turnstiles to be installed at the front of the stadium, increasing the speed of entry and helping to remove the current bottleneck on matchdays.

Two of the existing turnstiles will also be relocated to the front of the stadium alongside the new electronic turnstiles, whilst the remaining two turnstiles will be moved towards the Airport End, increasing overall entry capacity.

Space will also be created to improve toilet facilities within the stadium, an area that now requires significant investment following the club’s growth from crowds of around 200 supporters to average attendances of over 1,200, with more than 3,000 supporters attending our busiest fixtures.

Stupps Bar can almost double in size under the approved plans, creating opportunities to introduce disabled and baby changing facilities whilst increasing food and drink serving capacity and helping to reduce queues on busy matchdays.

There are also plans to sink the dugouts by approximately one metre this summer, improving views from the Main Stand.

The majority of these works remain subject to a decision from the Premier League Stadium Fund, which we expect to receive in the middle of June.

❤️ MONDAY IS THE FINAL DAY OF OUR EARLY BIRD SEASON TICKET OFFER ❤️

Be part of the exciting improvements taking place at the club and join us for what promises to be another exciting season at Southwood Stadium.

Great to see @ChrisHepburn8 collect his MBE yesterday for services to aquatic goods selling and beer drinking. Congratulations Chris, well deserved recognition for years of service.

Ramsgate FC are delighted to welcome Adrian Pennock as our new manager 🤝

Ady joins the Rams after two strong seasons with Dartford FC, narrowly missing out on promotion, and brings a wealth of experience from across the game as both a player and a manager.

A promotion winner with Gillingham FC and a title-winning manager in Brunei, his track record speaks for itself.

Ady is joined by his trusted backroom team, including Assistant Manager Roland Edge, Goalkeeper Coach Les Cleevely, and Fitness Coach Neil Withington.

We look forward to welcoming Ady and his team to the WW Martin Community Stadium ❤️🤍

Season ticket news for 2026/27 coming soon 👀

A Message from the Chairman to the fans.

When I took the club over at Christmas 2019, we were in a dire relegation battle at the bottom of Step 4. My overriding aim then, and now, has always been to match the Boys of ’72 and return this club to Step 2.

In those early days, we had to release a whole squad of players and, much like yesterday, local teenagers stepped in to represent the club. When I looked around the stadium back then however, it wasn’t the lack of players that struck me - it was the empty stands.

If we were ever going to match the Boys of ’72, who reached the highest level this club has ever played at, we needed supporters first.

So we opened the club up to the town. And I’m overwhelmed by how the town has responded.

What has followed has been incredible.
1,600 at Wimbledon.
3,000 in a home FA Cup first round win
3,000+ sell-out derbies.
1,000 at Hythe celebrating our title win
Home play-off games.
1,000 at Aveley for a cup final
Home attendances consistently over 1,000.
Nearly 1,000 kids in our youth section.
Hundreds in our holiday programmes.
Post-16 academy squads based full-time at the club.

But, despite all of that, it was yesterday that reinvigorated me.

Just like in 2019, we had a team of young players giving everything for us. The difference this time? They had 1,300 Ramsgate supporters behind them.

Kids on bouncy castles.
Families enjoying the spring sunshine.
Bars and kitchens full.
Ramsgate shirts and scarves everywhere - even on the dogs.

Two Ramsgate sides represented us in cup finals before the game. An all-Ramsgate U16 derby took place on the pitch after. A packed clubhouse celebrated the players’ awards into the evening.

That is what this club has become.

Sitting here on a spring Sunday morning, I genuinely feel we now have the strongest base we’ve ever had to push towards Step 2.

We’ve built this platform alongside a sustainable football model that ensures we can compete without risking the club’s future.

This summer, subject to final planning, we move forward again. We are one of the few clubs at this level operating around an annual accounting break-even position, in a landscape where many clubs sustain significant losses. That discipline is central to protecting the club’s long-term future.

Many great people have played their part in getting us here, with Ian Heath a constant at my side.

But make no mistake - this platform has been built by you, the supporters.

Now we move into a huge week as we appoint the management team to lead the next phase of this journey.

The goal hasn’t changed.

We are building towards Step 2 - together.

Come on you Rams!

James.

@ChrisHepburn8 Reading between the lines, We was in with an outside chance of the play offs but apparently we had a unspent player budget, a few players left and the replacements were either not very good , cup tied for the league cup or suspended left us really short for the run in. 😳

Lose a cup final Wednesday, sacked on Thursday. Savage !!

Club Statement – Thank you Lee Martin

Ramsgate FC will begin the process of appointing a new first team manager following the departure of Lee Martin.

As we reflect on the season, it feels the right time to provide an update on the managerial position.

When Lee Martin came into the club, we were in a difficult position and facing the real possibility of relegation. His remit was simple - to keep us in the league.

Lee achieved that.

Results improved quickly and, at one stage, we even found ourselves looking towards the play-off places, which is a credit to the work done during that period.

However, a challenging recruitment period leading into March meant that, over the final six weeks of the season, the playing budget was significantly underspent. That period has been reflected in our recent run of results, with six defeats from our last seven games, including this week’s cup final. This decision reflects the direction we want to take as a club, not any one result.

As a club, our culture has always been about looking forwards. It’s a mindset that has taken us from the brink of Step 5 to competing at Step 3, and now to a position where we are able to look towards Step 2.

As planned, Seb Tidey will step down from his role on the committee at the end of the season. A significant part of Seb’s work with the club has been contributing to the development of a new strategic document, which sets out a very specific plan for the footballing side of the club.

To give ourselves the best possible chance of success on the pitch, we believe it is important to explore the market and identify the right manager to deliver that plan.

One thing that remains incredible is our supporters. Their backing is the reason we now find ourselves knocking on the door of promotion to Step 2, and we are unwavering in our determination to match their ambition and push this club forward.

We would like to place on record our thanks to Lee for the job he has done. He came in at a difficult time, helped realign our objectives, and ensured the club moves forward from a stable position.

Seb Tidey, Tom Hadler and Mark Buckingham will take charge of the remaining two games of the season.

The club will now invite applications for the role of first team manager from candidates with experience of building teams capable of challenging for promotion to Step 2.

Applications should be submitted to [email protected]
