Eastleigh Football Club can today confirm the following changes to away travel for the 2018/19 season.

After weeks of discussions with The Spitfires Supporters Club (TSSC), it has been agreed that TSSC will be taking over control of the coach travel.

Fans have had the luxury of subsidised travel in previous seasons and together the club and TSSC endeavour to keep prices as low as possible. Last year the club incurred a significant loss in reducing away travel for fans and a study showed we were 66% cheaper than the league average to travel on the supporter’s coach.

Throughout the season, TSSC will be fundraising through different channels to reduce the cost of coach travel. All TSSC members will be entitled to further reductions in using the official supporters coach. Please note you do not have to be a member to travel.

We can also confirm that Lucketts Travel will be our official coach supplier for the 2018/19 season. They are the leading coach company in the south of England and renowned for quality and comfort. The coach will be accessible for all with disabled access on board. Fans will be able to book directly with TSSC at home matches at a dedicated stand and through the week using the travel line mobile number. More information can be found on TSSC website –

Excellent news. This will though incur a great deal of work for TSSC and they should be warmly applauded for taking this on board.

It took three weeks to answer the question. No wonder little gets done.

I thunk you will find key people were on holiday. It may also have been that details were not finalised. Looking forward to you volunteering to help if you think you can do better. You clearly have plenty of spare time to worry about these things 😀

Did you read what they said 3 weeks ago?

"TSSC 2018-2019
This season we are running away travel in conjunction with Eastleigh FC, watch this space for details of fixtures, departure times and prices. They will be up soon!

We are also pleased to announce that there will be discounted coach travel for all TSSC members, another good reason to join The Spitfire Supporters Club.

This season we will also have a regular prescence at the ground on matchdays in the form of a marque towards the shed end of the ground. Come and have a chat with us at tomorrows game."

Get along tonight. Lets end this negativity and take the club forward.

Given it’s the fan’s forum tonight, that’s no doubt the best time to ask both the club and TSSC about this to get the facts right and to understand the reasoning for the delay in getting the joint statement out.

I somehow have my doubts that the keyboard warriors who constantly criticise us will be there though and would rather continue to make their (often inaccurate) judgements and assumptions on here.....

Ideal time tonight to arrange a meeting to end all the positivity. Forget yesterday, last week, last year, this is a new start and the club needs all the help they can get, Be it through TSSC or as individuals. Please end all this negativity and hiding behind keyboards.

The travel arrangements will all pan out when the season starts ,
Agreed everyone needs to pull in the right direction , one small thing everyone can do is spend a couple of quid at home games , that is a very important thing to do , it pays the wage bill for all the great staff behind the bars etc
