Once known as Swaythling Athletic,
founded in 1946, Eastleigh FC is turning heads in the Conference.
Being a “post war” club, the nickname “Spitfires” seemed
appropriate and they play their games at Ten Acres, The Silverlake
Stadium, which holds just over 5000.
Working their way from the Hampshire
Leagues and into the Conference, by the 2014-15 season, the club now
holds its own in the Premier Division, playing the likes of
Aldershot, Kidderminster Harriers and Halifax Town. Have a look at
the top teams in the CPL, that once had Football League status,
Eastleigh sits in 6th place amongst some serious clubs all
hoping to return to the FL.
Manager Richard Hill was appointed in
September 2012, having been nurtured by the experienced Brian Little
and John Gregory. It seemed to work, so watch out for Eastleigh's
rise towards League 2.
They beat Chester, away, a week ago and
face Macclesfield next at home, so watch this space.
By the way, have a look at the bottom of League Two.....Hartlepool doomed??
