Don't panic Mr Mannering
I seem to remember that when that south stand structure was built, 90% of the time taken was groundwork and the actual construction of the stand as we see it was completed rapidly once the foundations were there - though could that be why it came to grief?
I'm confident that all will be well this time.

Eastleigh Twitter today has a photo of the South Stand with lots of blue seats in it (at least half full?)! Who could ever have doubted it would happen in time for the first home game? ;-)

Apparently the current building is ‘phase 1’. For the phase 2 part of the build we’ll see a ‘1946 bar’ upstairs, I assume overlooking the pitch like the other end, hence the extensive work being done on the foundations. That’ll look amazing once done. Very excited to see that being started!

Club Twitter reports more progress:
Progress on the South Stand continues to be made with the '4' being built into the seats. We expect the '6' to be in place very soon, #Spitfires!

'1946' all installed last night.
But only the '19' were in use, as for the Wealdstone game. Presumably they'll all be available for the Aldershot game.

There were approx 20-30 seats left to do above the circle of the 6 on the far right of the stand. It looks absolutely superb, thank you Eastleigh Football Club for another fine stand , this time in blue and white.
One thing that did surprise me watching on stream was a vast gap between left of main stand (looking from the stand) down to the corner where the behind goal segregation was, only about 2 people stood there when we were kicking to that end. Is that because that 'zone' / side is for main stand users only? That has always been a popular side for fans to watch up against the barrier and I'm sure it helps the players recieve support so close up too especially on nights like last night

Looks good, Shame it is a lot smaller than before Good thing it is, nothing worse at football than a half empty stand. We only fill it when kids clubs get free tickets.
