For some reason I'm getting a good vibe about our club. It seems to me Ben and Jason are assembling a very balanced squad on a smaller budget. Maybe, just maybe this could be the year. I do have to pinch myself sometimes and remember how far Eastleigh have come over a short period of time and these pictures put it in prospective.   Attachments:

At least we had a proper ground in the Wessex League days. Here's the club in c1955 playing in someone's front garden in the Hampshire League.

That's absolutely brilliant , I've never seen that before. What's the big dome in the background ? |

The old Ford factory.
The houses closest to the pitch where the "fans" are standing are still there, now painted white. The "dome" has gone replaced by newer build. The pitch has gone, replaced by a newer road (still part of Walnut Avenue) and houses stand on the rest of the pitch where the photo was taken.
You can see it all on Google Maps/street view. The houses in the picture are # 17,18 & 19 Walnut Avenue.
