Eastleigh promoted to Blue Square Premier.
Eastleigh has beaten the odds. Henian Su says things are looking good and hopes the form carries on in a higher division.
Eastleigh fans are in a jubilant mood after Henian Su has led them to the incredible feat of winning Blue Square South. A fans spokesman announced Henian Su was undoubtedly one of the best managers around.
Eastleigh board has issued a statement declaring they are very happy with the victory and is grateful to Henian Su for doing them proud. They stated their surprise at this achievement and wished to thank Su for this unexpected success.
At a short press conference, a spokesperson for the board declared that promotion hasn’t been on the card at the start of the season and the board wanted to put on record their gratitude to Henian Su for delivering the unthinkable.
I said to the media (rather pessimistically) that next season will be long challenging and perhaps ultimately fruitless one for Eastleigh. Most players responded back rather positively, like being determined that they will be able to stay up.
