First home win in 5,000 attempts. Ex-Bay maestro rescuing Stones season. It's got all the exciting ingredients of a 0-0 draw. Who's up for it?

No coach no can go plus wouldn't be able to get home to Tonbridge that late at night/early morning . I could do it by train but need a mortgage for the ticket.

Heavy rain all day. Did Eastleigh ever fix their pitch?

Don't wish to be controversial in the wave of joy hope and optimism at our fantastic first home League win for seven months, but either the Stones TV highlights missed a lot of the game or whatI saw showed Havant with more structured play and attacks than us, with the Stones only looking dangerous on the break (Normally from a hoof), and our general play still being keepie uppie or hoofball rather than passing , with only the fact that we scored two good goals being the key difference between weak relegation two teams. On that basis, I don't see anything other than another tonking at Eastligh, who are solid NL. A wet and windy 3-0 home win with Eastleigh not out of first gear. Of course, I hope I am wrong and the Embery goalscoring machine has a field day, but it think it may be more like back to reality.

This thread is pointless without a boring post from LLCoolJ or whatever his name is.

When I booked my seats online yesterday morning only two other seats were showing as taken in the away section.
So I'd suggest that either the hundreds of Stones' supporters inspired by Saturday's performance have opted for the standing section, at the same price, or not many are making the trip.

Chucking it down till 2pm, showers till six, then dry. Pitch could be a problem, so a bit risky going?

Of course, I hope I am wrong and the Embery goalscoring machine has a field day, but it think it may be more like back to reality. This is so far from the game I saw that it made me go and check the highlights. And I don't really understand how you saw what you did. The shorter highlights we get these days often don't really give the full picture of the game, but these were actually pretty accurate. The game wasn't all good, by any means, especially after Embery went off, and Turgott ran out of steam, but it wasn't how you describe it at all. H&W did trouble our defence quite a few times - and our defence made a bit of a pickle of it, but, other than the offside 'goal', they never looked seriously like scoring. Whereas, with better finishing, we could have had another three easily. But it is your 'hoofball' comment that really puzzles me. It was still there, obviously, but there was also a lot of decent passing. If you go back and look at the goals/attempts, you'll see most of them were actually from passes out of midfield. Quite deep at times, yes, but hardly hoofball. It really showed up both how much we've missed Turgott, and what a talent Embery is. But you're generally point is correct - one win against a team as inept as H&W doesn't necessarily mean much, and none of us will be too surprised if we get nothing out of Eastleigh and their awful pitch. But there were genuine signs of change and hope on Saturday. All the players in our squad didn't become crap overnight, and, with Turgott back and a genuine goal scorer up the front, their confidence was back. Still too much to ask that we survive in the NL, of course, but at least it now looks like we won't be suffering the awful end of season that many of us feared.
