THE CITIZENS POST WCFC V Eastleigh FC Saturday 28Th July 2018 Pre-Season Friendly THE CITIZENS POST WCFC v Eastleigh FC Saturday 28th July 2018 Pre-Season Friendly Winchester City Football Club is a committee run members club and as such is an unincorporated association. THE CITIZENS POST TODAY’S VISITORS – EASTLEIGH FC CLUB HISTORY Playing home matches firstly on Southampton Common, and then at ‘Westfield’ in Swaythling, the new club were promoted into the Hampshire League in 1950 after two campaigns spent in the Southampton Senior League (West). Within another year, Athletic, (that appellation was dropped in 1973) had topped Division Three (West) and won the Hampshire Intermediate Cup. By 1956, Swaythling were playing in the 1st Division of the County league. They would return to that level in 1970 as champions of Division 2. In keeping with their early progress, the club moved to a new ground at Ten Acres in 1957 – which remains home to this day. The change to their current name was made in 1980, six years before Eastleigh F.C. became founder members of the Wessex League. The club settled at that level, until a distinguished period under the management of present Sutton United boss Paul Doswell which began in 2002/2003. Eastleigh were that season’s Wessex League Champions. Twelve months later, they finished 4th in the Southern Football League Division One East. The club were beneficiaries of the F.A.’s restructuring of the non-league pyramid, and were elevated to begin 2004/2005 in the Premier Division of the Isthmian League. On-pitch advancement was being matched off the field. A new stand was constructed in time for the Isthmian campaign, which the team finished with a run of 14 unbeaten matches. That was enough to earn Eastleigh a play-off berth, which they capitalised on fully. Victories over Braintree Town (2-0), and Leyton (1-0) ensured that Doswell had taken his team from Wessex League to Conference South in the space of three heady years. Development of the ground has continued, with improvements made in 2006 both to the stand opposite the main grandstand, and that behind the goal furthest from the clubhouse. Eastleigh’s present owners, Bridle Insurance, whose purchase of a majority shareholding in the club was confirmed in February 2012, have further upgrading of the ‘Silverlake Stadium’ high on their list of priorities. Over nine years in the Conference South, Eastleigh have twice flirted with promotion to non-league’s highest tier. In 2009, under the management of former Leeds United forward Ian Baird, the Spitfires lost a play-off semi-final against Hayes & Yeading United. A 4-0 extra-time home defeat cancelled out Eastleigh’s 4-2 first-leg victory. In 2012/2013, a campaign which saw Baird replaced by current boss Richard Hill in September, the Spitfires’ second half of the season form took them from 21st to 4th place, and a play-off meeting with Dover Athletic. A 3-1 home reverse was wiped out with a 2-0 win in Kent, but, ultimately, a losing penalty shoot-out ended Eastleigh’s promotion aspirations. The intervening years brought the Spitfires’ only ever appearance in the F.A. Cup first round, and some silverware. The 2009/2010 cup adventure was ended by a last gasp goal which earned then Conference Premier team Barrow a 2-1 home win. Eastleigh’s trophy joy came in the 2011/2012 Hampshire Senior Cup. In a final played at Southampton’s St Mary’s Stadium against AFC Totton – on a night which featured the first live testing of goal-line technology – the Spitfires were 2-0 winners. Eastleigh can lay claim to their part in football history then, but they hope to make headlines all of their own in the coming years. The high ambition of all involved with the club comes at no cost to the inclusive and fan friendly atmosphere which exists at the Silverlake Stadium. That is a fact to which founder, Director, and Life President, Derik Brooks will undoubtedly testify. Eastleigh’s success didn’t stop there – promotion was gained from the Conference South in 2014, where they won the league title. The following season, the Spitfires made the play-offs, however they couldn’t get past a strong Grimsby Town outfit who went on to gain promotion. The following season saw an impressive FA Cup run, in which Eastleigh took Championship side Bolton Wanderers to a replay. The following season was the same story, with Eastleigh losing away to Championship team Brentford in the Third Round. TODAY’S VISITORS – EASTLEIGH FC PLAYER PROFILES GRAHAM STACK – Goalkeeper.

  • December 2020 Foreword from District Commander Chief Inspector Marcus Cator
    December 2020 Foreword from District Commander Chief Inspector Marcus Cator Welcome to the December edition of the Policing Eastleigh partnership newsletter – it comes with a round-up of our work over the past few months and some of the plans for the future. This year has been extremely challenging for all, and policing has had its equal challenges. The impact of Covid-19 on us all has been significant across our communities and also impacted upon the types of incident and crimes we have been managing. Trying to get the balance right, to keep on top of those who insist on committing offences, whilst trying to support the public health focus of trying to manage the impact of a pandemic has been extraordinary. I can only applaud all keyworkers and all of those hard working members of society, who have had to try and keep pace on these challenging times. From schooling at home (I have a refreshed respect for those in education!), working from home and trying to keep our families safe, the challenges have had a significant impact on everyone’s welfare and mental health. Despite this, some good news in relation to new faces joining the team! Inspector Louise Hubble has recently joined the district, who comes with a wealth of knowledge and understanding of rural crime and 21 years’ experience of policing. Louise will be joining Hedge End Sector and supporting Sgt Stu Jackson and T/Sgt Ian Simpson’s teams. Alongside this, we have six new officers joining us under the latest recruitment campaigns from Hampshire Constabulary; two have started in November, two more join us in December and then two more in January.

But upon closer inspection this game, rather than the result itself, was momentous in shaping the dizzying success the club was to achieve over the following three seasons. Lining up in a Leeds United shirt for the first time this day were 32-year-old Gordon Strachan (a £300,000 signing from Manchester United) and Chris Fairclough (a loanee to the end of the season whereupon a £500,000 fee with Tottenham Hotspur had been agreed).
