Eastleigh FC womens team

[blueandwhite]

Reading online this has been split off the from club. What is going on?

yeah they 'disposing' off all the Eastleigh in the Community teams, which inclucdes the Eastleigh Ladies first team, and all the grass roots girls teams. Lovely club Eastleigh, in the heart of the community.....or maybe not.

Does anyone have any further info on this? I can't seem to find anything online, but sounds like a pretty shocking move by the club if true.

Is this anything to do with Southampton FC Women's team using the Silverlake next season?

Can't see any logic in it whatever if true, and as you say it damages their Community image.

Apparently there will be a fans forum in the next few weeks but not sure all the messaging is right here (I asked Stewart). The plan is to expand the women and community teams- however they are set up under a charity separate from the club. Clearly there is some sort of 'machinery of governance' issue that needs to be addressed. Let's wait and hear. And I could see nothing on the Internet about this so first post is disingenuous. If there was something they should have put a link!

There is no link, but my sisters grassroots EastelighITC team have already announced they can no longer be associated with Eastleigh next season, and that is the same with all the Womens/Girls teams.
Another local, but more forward thinking club are hoping to take all the EastleighITC teams under there umbrella.

Sounds like there is some bad feeling here, possibly some misunderstanding as well. I think Eastleigh fc should reach out to the ladies team & try keep them in the loop with regards this. Let’s remember football is for everyone. Need to keep the club together
