Never before have I seen people - and quite a large group of people - celebrate a goal at a game which has nothing to do with the game they are watching. A group of youths at Eastleigh did this today though, apparently celebrating Southampton's comeback. They seemed more interested in rowing with the stewards than in the game. I wonder if they were there under a free tickets scheme? They seemed the type. They also wanted to know if that was all we take away (about 40 of us). I must say, if anyone did make it to all six away games, especially Eastleigh and Yeovil, it was a tremendous effort! I seem to remember though that Eastleigh took less than ten to Moss Lane one Tuesday night (or that was what it looked like anyway) - and after getting a crowd of two or three thousand in their previous home match! I don't think we've ever taken less than ten anywhere in anything, not while I've been watching anyway.
Of course, people who watch other teams are to be seen at many non-league clubs, and perhaps more so at plasticky clubs like Eastleigh and "Solihull Moors", but it was a bit surreal hearing people chanting about an unrelated game. I suppose not entirely surprising when you look at where Eastleigh is, but still. (I believe a group of Bradford City supporters turned up at Cemetery Road once too).
