Having already signed James Constable from Oxford United, Eastleigh have added AFC Wimbledon's Jack Midson.

THESE GUYS APPEAR TO BE TAKING IT SERIOUSLY !!!!!

Well, they do have form as the moneybags of Conference South, so it's hardly surprising ...

Grays Athletic did something very similar to this 10 years ago.

Their ground is now a housing estate.

I was sat next to a Director of Eastleigh at the FA Trophy final. He told me that money had/is being pumped into the club and their boards ambition is to become a football league club. I agree that they could go the same way as Grays.

having spent a bit of time in the area I know Eastleigh to be a small village just 5 miles north of Portsmouth and Southampton.....I posted the bit I saw in the paper with that journeyman who scored the pen for Eastbourne against us at stoke and the perimeter fence collapsing under the weight of a single line of terracing surging forward to celebrate.

Pompey have been getting unbelievable crowds and their support is holding up despite their demise.

I can't see where support is going to come from to sustain full time football.....but for a few years they will obviously do well

If they buy a defence and midfield to match the forwards they will go up

Eastleigh isn't quite Brackley - it's a fairly substantial town which grew with the railways. It is about 5 miles from Southampton but Pompey is about 20 miles to the south-east. My suspicion is that attendances haven't played much of a part in the club's growth so far, rather like Brackley, & in the same way their long-term prospects will depend more on their backer's interest level than anything else.

Averaged 679 last season.

Ground stomping old nearly. A quick going over by the financials, powered by Dynamos is it? Ideas above their branchline? A population that bode not boot? Tears by Christmas future? The demise of the demesne. RIP waiting room. Very few present or correct.

[Timperley The Best]

According to wikipedia the population of eastleighh is 125 k that shoulld mean potential althoughprobably mainly southampton fans
