Eastleigh Away - Heads Up

[Ball_Sup (Phil)]

In case you missed it. Eastleigh cancelled their first home pre-season match v AFC Wimbledon last Saturday at extremely short notice.

http://www.eastleighfc.com/2017/07/08/afc-wimbledon-postponed-statement/

The basic story looks like - they've laid a new pitch, it hasn't settled down in time, Wimbledon took one look at it & said we ain't playing on that.

Now, today, Tuesday 11th, Eastleigh have cancelled two more home pre-season games for Saturday 15 July (v Portsmouth) and Saturday 22 July (v Newport County)

http://www.eastleighfc.com/2017/07/11/pre-season-plans-rearranged/

There are various excuses given for those last two postponements - fixtures adapted to suit the needs of the first team squad, hot weather forecast, thunderstorms forecast.

As you may know, SUFC are due to go there on Friday 28 July. I don't want to be scaremongering. There is a lot of time between now & then. And, Eastleigh make some general positive statements in those links. But, I thought it was maybe worth a Heads Up. I'm not really part of the Gang yet, but someone needs to say DESSO for about a dozen replies - that's if I've got it right how it works.

Desso.

McCabe out.

Fax machine

Simonsen's penalty

Hanson is shit

Billy has lost his scoring touch and should be dropped.

I think that covers it and welcome to the gang.

Because I write a Beer, Football & Cricket Blog. I have a sort of immunity. More or less whatever I post, utter nonsense or spot on insight, someone says - "you been on the beer again?" or similar...

Just like this post below \/

Cheers for that. I hadn't realised.

Was looking at booking somewhere down that neck of the woods for the weekend but might revise my plans based on that. It's only a friendly after all.

I imagine they'll do everything in their power to get the game against the Blades on. By cancelling the other games, it gives the pitch a better chance.

Imagine the money they'd miss out on if they cancelled our game.

Worry not.

Hi There

I am an Eastleigh taxi driver and go to the ground often. There is a hell of a lot of development work being done at the Eastleigh ground. I will keep my ears open and will post any developments with regards to the fixture. There is quite a bit of interest in this fixture especially from Saints fans who still love our Billy

I would have thought cancelling the Portsmouth friendly would have cost them rather more.

They also have a beer festival on the same weekend... Will speak to my contact there about the likelihood of change.

Just rang the ticket office - match definitely ON - no pre-bought ticket required, pay on the night 7:45 k.o.

See y'all there!!!

[1066blade]

Beer festival starts the day after the match - overnight stay now confirmed!!

 

[EastonBlade]

Got the hospitality option some weeks ago - £30 didn't seem a bad price - so it better not be cancelled (although I do only have 15 miles to travel).
