Slightly anomalous situation in the wessex league in that the league season is not finished, yet the playoffs have already started.
Anyway a win for Stoneham tonight, they face Shaftesbury or Porchester at home on Saturday. Could be a record ever crowd for them?
I believe Brett Pittman broke Andy Forbes Wessex league scoring record by 1 in ending the season with 56 goals.

I'm a bit surprised we haven't kept a couple more. Those that are under contract may have activated automatic extensions based on playing x amount of games.
10(?) new signings to come this summer perhaps.
Guessing with the Kelvin Davis connection we might try and go back for Vokins in a few weeks, but he could well get a L1/L2 club instead I should think.

I'm not surprised he has got the job (and not unhappy). Surprised by a 3 year deal though.
Bradbury had a clause in his contract that if sacked he would get 6 months pay (not the full amount), we don't know if Kelvin Davis has got something similar.
Anyway decision made, 3 and half months to go till the new season, lets do this!

0-3. Not a great way to end the season. We finish 13th.
Crowd of 2408

I think to scrap them from the 3rd round on is wrong, i suppose fair enough if both teams agree in advance of the tie to no replay.
To scrap them in the 1st & 2nd round seems crazy, properly absurd. Think this may well be overturned.
As well as Newport, Swindon was a great tie, TV & then hammering them on the replay. i remember Stourbridge under the lights 3-0 with a Sam smart somersault. Halifax getting back at 4am, the list goes on.
This is ridiculous

Its a relief to have safety confirmed. I never seriously thought we'd come close to going down, but when it gets to April you just need to get mathematically safe, didn't need any far fetched last day scenarios with 6 results going against us meaning disaster happens.
Overall its been a disappointing season in the league. IMO this group of players can do better than our records suggests, I reckon we are 10-15 points light on where we should be.
So hopefully the squad can be improved a bit and we can be up in the top 7 next season. I don't think it necessarily needs a massive overhaul.

Ihis thread has given me an excuse to look up Josh Hares late winner when we beat them 2-1. One of my favourite Eastleigh goals, standing right behind it as the ball arrows in to the top corner. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QIdtfLTWHogoal is at 2.40. Enjoy!

He is at port vale. I would have thought every chance of him departing at the end of the season as they seem likely to go down.

157 made the trip. Another for McCallum to end a mini draught.
He is now 6 clear in the golden boot race, it is done & dusted surely.
By my calculations we are guaranteed 11th-19th so hopefully we can get as high as poss

Strange to see a team managed by Paul Doswell doing less well. Three promotions at Eastleigh, two at Sutton plus playoff appearances and at H&W one playoff appearance and two top half of the table finishes. On the subject of Doswell I don’t think he has had a great time at sholing this season, however they got a good win last night which goes a long way to securing safety for this season,

Relegation confirmed last night. It’s been coming for quite a while.
They started the season with Just 6 points from 20 games & have never recovered.
I wonder what’s gone wrong down there?
