EastleighSoulBoy Posted 28 April, 2009 Posted 28 April, 2009 Living in Bishoptsoke I suppose I'm in the Eastleigh "umbrella". However, I say I'm from Southampton and support Southampton and hate the town that is Eastleigh with a passion. Am I a glory hunter? Nah, just a pain in the harrse.
ecuk268 Posted 28 April, 2009 Posted 28 April, 2009 My house is closer to Southampton that it is to Eastleigh or Romsey scumdilleypop. Depends where in Baddesley you live. If you go down Rownhams Lane, Southampton begins just before you get to Lordshill, whereas if you go via The Clump (or whatever it's called now), Southampton begins at the Clock roundabout. Romsey starts by the Luzborough pub. By the way, I'm a true Romsonian. On my mum's side back to the mid 1800's. When I was a nipper, we always thought that Baddesley was full of pikeys.
Lets B Avenue Posted 28 April, 2009 Posted 28 April, 2009 Born and bred in Swaythling (North Stoneham if you remember a much earlier thread). I have been going to 10 Acres for several seasons and will be at Hayes tonight. However, due to a life-long dislike of all things Beastley, I still like to annoy my fellow fans by referring to them as Swaythling or Athletic. Not quite up ther with Stu, but then I would have had N. Baddesley steralised years ago.
Saints Warrior Posted 28 April, 2009 Posted 28 April, 2009 Hayes and Yeading 0 Eastleigh 3 Come on!! brilliant considering H&Y form team uneaten in 15
Crab Lungs Posted 28 April, 2009 Posted 28 April, 2009 Hayes and Yeading 0 Eastleigh 3 Come on!! brilliant considering H&Y form team uneaten in 15 Just saw that too. Oh dear, regional apocolypse could be upon us sooner than we think...
brmbrm Posted 28 April, 2009 Posted 28 April, 2009 So to sum this up, StuRomseySaint, whose local team is Romsey town, hates his next most local team (Eastleigh) but loves his next next most local team (Saints), presumably becaise of this next-next-local-affinity. "We support our next-next-local team, da, da, da......"
Trader Posted 28 April, 2009 Posted 28 April, 2009 Hayes & Yeading 2 Eastleigh 4 - final score Brilliant effort
Lets B Avenue Posted 28 April, 2009 Posted 28 April, 2009 Just got back. Only the 2 late goals spoilt a bloody good evening. Even missed a pen @ 1-0. We just stood there grinning as the locals went beserk with the ref, their team, everyone! Their star forward got himself sent off for a headbutt @2-0 and we could have got 7 or 8. As it is, Hayes have got themselves back in it and Saturday could be a bit nervy like the recent Chelski/ Scouse match. Recommend people come along. If only to watch the veins in Bairdy's head.

Rut Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 I'll just add that AFC Totton also won tonight in a play-off. They beat Beaconsfield 2-1 including a last min penalty save to stop it going to extra time. The game ended with a mass brawl that apparently was the worst (best?) most people have ever seen. They are now home to Didcot on Sat (they beat Windsor) - the winner will be promoted to the Southern Prem (4 Leagues below Saints). Why couldn't Saints have done the same as Totton? ie get to a major cup final and invest the money in the team and really push on. Good luck to Totton on Sat - they are now strong favs but still have to do the biz...
Lets B Avenue Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 South Stoneham, but carry on LBA South is round by Wessex Lane. North is Stoneham Lane and its environs. In the thread we had some months ago, I told how my dear old would tell people we lived there, rather than admit to living in Swaythling.

Indeed, St Nicholas Church (the closest landmark for proximity to Ten Acres) is in North Stoneham: http://www.astoft.co.uk/northstoneham.htm
egreog Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 Excellent result in first leg of playoffs last night............a team on the up that could be worth supporting should there not be a buyer in a week and the whole thing folds!
sambosa75 Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 Am I right in thinking, if Eastleigh get past Yeading, we are in the final which is played at Wembley?
Lets B Avenue Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 No. The final is at the ground of the highest placed finalist. Hampton won 3-1 at Chelmsford last night and they were 2nd so the final should be at their "dump" (copywright D.Holley 2009) next Thursday. Its also live on Sultana.
krissyboy31 Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 Am I right in thinking, if Eastleigh get past Yeading, we are in the final which is played at Wembley? No if Hampton & Richmond win the other, as looks likely, it will be at Hampton's home ground. If Chelmsford turn it around and win, it will be at Ten Acres/Siverlake.
