Whitstable manager Marcel Nimani wants to give supporters a performance their backing deserves when they host Phoenix Sports in final home game of the season

Whitstable boss Marcel Nimani hopes their fans get the performance they deserve this Saturday when promotion-chasing Phoenix Sports come to town.

Nimani said: “Saturday is our last home game and I would encourage all supporters to turn up.

“It will be a huge game for Phoenix and just as huge for us. We will wake up on Saturday morning with the same attitude for three points as we would do for any other game.

“That had a huge impact on the result. We feel we need to give it back to them.

“Our ambition is to continue our momentum, give our supporters a performance to be proud of.
