Do Havant and Waterlooville have the infrastructure and squad development to gain promotion to the Blue Square Premier?
They did very well against Liverpool in the FA Cup. And beat Swansea on their own patch so , they have had a good team, dont know what the current or next crop will be like though. no doubt we will see in close season when we play them as usual..........
They are very much like Eastleigh FC, inasmuch as they are not consistent enough as a team. Shaun Gale appears to be a good manager at this level, but as with Ian Baird at Eastleigh, they just fall short of success. I hope they achieve promotion next season though.
H&W being my true home team I would love to see them get to the conference or even a league position, but time after time they have failed at the last hurdle! I remember paying ã3 to get in there and stand under the wooden shacks on a Saturday afternoon and loving every minute of it. They have flirted with promotion a couple of times over the last few seasons - i think one of the seasons they had something like 8 games in hand or something and still managed to fluff it! They will always be my second team, and with the improvements to the ground over the last few years (blatantly paid for from the trip to Anfield), there is no reason why they cannot come good again. I have always wondered why PFC have not sent some of the younger players there to gain fitness experience?!
