Are they still on good terms after the 14-15 playoffs? Yeah that was some argumen in the dugout. Both had to be restrained. Hilly didn't stop going at him for a good 5 mins

I 100% believe we can get promoted this season, tell me why not!? Brilliant squad and top top management team for this level supported by what Ronnie calls a "brilliant chairman".
I'll take a trip to Wembley this season, although a trophy for 1st place would be alright I suppose!!
Come on you blues, and come on the moany bunch!! Unfortunately it's the same people all the time, lighten up a little would you!!?

Stew, I'm not being a suck up to you at all but I recently did a piece for the Lincoln City program when we play there. If you get a copy give it a read. Tells you exactly how I feel about the club, it's positive by the way! The old fans WILL moan no matter what you do, but the newer fans like me can see the amazing steps being taken with the club, have stopped going to watch the saints, and I never ever in a million years thought I'd say this, but I no longer say I support the saints, I'm blue and thank god it's not Pompey. What you've achieved in a short space of time is amazing and will be looked back on for years to come on how great this era for the club is. What a fantastic club to be a part of and a brilliant community. I'm glad you ignore the negatives, there are hundreds more fans who just speak positives. Long may you and the board reign here continue. I for one am excited to see the new building up and hopefully having a mini local stag do in there before I get married in April!

Wouldn't say an exciting signing but probably a necessary one. Good challenge for Flitney, and hopefully someone who can keep the ball in touch when they kick it! Have noticed both Ronnie and Kay getting quite annoyed with Ross, and Reda has had words on more than 1 occasion!

Had 2 sent off yesterday! Sounds like some of the players there have the temperament of their new manager already!

Totally agree re the Saints score. I don't care if its Saints/Pompey/Tranmere/FGR or whoever - other teams football scores should never be announced during a game, simple as that. I think the majority of us aren't interested in the score and are a bit annoyed by it being announced & I'm sure that those that are interested in the score virtually all have smartphones/radios. Hopefully someone could have a quiet word with the announcer. I have a guy who sits near me always telling people the score...I don't care, go and watch them if you care so much! No need to announce any other scores at half time other than the ones in our league. Those that want to know the other scores have smart phones or radios so they'll already know. THIS is Eastleigh and that's what matters. Southampton are boring these days and Eastleigh are on the way up. Match day experience needs to be greatly improved, and it wouldn't take much at all.

Seriously tinpot announcing the saints score whilst we are in play. Not a great first half not suprised Southport are set up to get a point though This was awful and embarrassing. If we are trying to be a professional club this needs to be stamped out! I hung my head in shame a bit. Who cares about Southampton anyway?

Not been in this league, and would cost too much I'd imagine, but he lives in Winchester and I reckon he'd fancy the challenge. Would not only massive raise our profile locally instantly, but would enable him to resume his from 2 previous sackings in the last 3 years...wait for it and call me mad but if we've got major ambition then why not look to... ...Nigel Adkins? I wonder if Stew shares my mad ambition for this club?

After the game against Guisley I thought Turley would really struggle to get a starting spot with us this season. That's how much we have improved over the summer. Top marks to everyone at the club for not just the great defenders they've brought in but also the rest of the team.

Way way way too many negative comments on here are annoying me!! First game of the season with only 6 players in the starting line up who were with us last season, and none from last year on the bench. For a brand new team, and with a few who have been here less than a month we have to be really proud of them!
Admittedly the second half wasn't as good as the first but I never felt Guiseley were going to get a winner. Our defence looks very solid, won almost everything in the air. Drury and Pipe were a little quiet but only because most of the play was with the wingers. Pipe will certainly come into his own playing there during those scrappy games where everything counts. As for our strikers we have 4 very good options and another one who will struggle to get a look in.
This is the best squad I've ever seen at the club. For once Todd doesn't have to risk the players for are only 70% fit because he can drop someone else in. Great work by Stewart and his team this summer.
In conclusion it was a great game, one which showed much promise for the season ahead and it was 3 points on the board. Some of you are acting as if you'd preferred us to play well but lose!! Be grateful for 3 points you grumpy lot!! Enjoy the season because it's going to be an exciting one.
COME ON YOU BOYS IN BLUE!!!

Got to be ambitious, just like our owner is. Saints aren't playing, the sun is gonna be shining, I'm going 3,400. Especially as a lot can get in free with a season ticket holder! Just hope not too many people are on holiday!! So excited for tomorrow!

Fast forward to 3:55 to see his goal. He then sets up a near finish afterwards for those that want to see his highlights. youtu.be/CeyUGPVdOpEHowever, I think we have brought very well up top for the new season. Man drown and Wilsln both sound like great signings. Let's hope they both turn out to be.

Looking at this our defence is well covered. If Harding leaves I imagine another defender will be brought in to replace him. My only concern is the midfield. If Drury and strevens get injured or suspended, which both were on a couple of occasions this season, we'd be very short of natural centre mids. Thoughts?
