Eastleigh are based at the Silverlake Stadium and have become a regular National League name after rising from the regional divisions. The Spitfires carry a Hampshire identity shaped by their aviation links, modern facilities and ambition to reach the Football League.
The Silverlake Stadium, Eastleighs home at Ten Acres, is a compact but developed National League ground near Southampton Airport and the M27. It has grown considerably from its older non-league roots and now includes a mix of covered seating, terracing, hospitality areas and dedicated matchday food and drink points.
The ground has seated stands behind and along parts of the pitch, including the South Stand, which is often used for away supporters when segregation is in place. The West Stand and other home areas provide seated and standing options, while terraces around the ground give Eastleigh a more traditional non-league feel despite the modern additions.
For neutrals, the seated stands offer the best view and comfort. Home supporters can often move between areas depending on the fixture, although migration is restricted or guided when segregation is in place. The stadium is more developed than many grounds at this level, but access and parking around Stoneham Lane can still feel tight on busy matchdays.
Away supporters at Eastleigh are usually housed in the South Stand or the designated away section around that end of the stadium, depending on the fixture. Recent match information has placed away fans in South Stand blocks such as S1 and S2, with away supporters entering through specific away turnstiles.
The club has used different turnstile numbers depending on fixture arrangements, but away supporters are commonly directed to turnstiles 1, 2 and 3, or other clearly advertised away turnstiles for the specific match. This is why visiting fans should check the latest matchday information rather than assuming the same gate every time.
Away supporters usually have access to dedicated facilities, including an away bar in the South-East corner for many fixtures. Some games also provide food outlets in or near the away section. The South Stand seating gives a better view than many traditional terrace away ends, but availability and segregation arrangements can vary.

Eastleigh is convenient for the M27 and Southampton Airport, but the final approach around Stoneham Lane can be busy and tight on matchdays. Drivers should follow club directions and allow extra time near the stadium, especially for larger fixtures.
Public transport is possible, but the ground is not as naturally town-centre based as some National League venues. Supporters arriving by train should check walking routes or local taxi options in advance. The Concorde Club and surrounding area are useful landmarks when finding the stadium.
For neutrals, a seated ticket is the best option for view and comfort. Home supporters may have more freedom to move around inside the ground at some fixtures, but supporters should remain in their designated area while the match is being played when requested. Away supporters should check the latest turnstile and away bar details because Eastleigh publish match-specific arrangements that can change from game to game.
Eastleigh tickets are normally sold online through the club ticketing system, with supporters selecting the relevant fixture from the ticket page or fixture list. The club strongly encourages advance online purchase to reduce queues, and some past fixtures have had no cash turnstiles.
Away supporters should buy through the method advertised for the specific match, either through Eastleighs ticketing platform or via their own club. Away fans must use the designated away section and should not buy home tickets for segregated fixtures. Matchday purchases, where available, may be subject to different arrangements or price increases.
For home or neutral supporters, seated areas provide the best view. The South Stand is often used for away fans, so neutrals should check the stadium plan before buying. Supporters who want atmosphere should look towards the regular home areas rather than the away or family sections.
The Silverlake Stadium operates standard football ground regulations with stewarded entry, ticket checks and possible searches. Supporters should use the correct turnstiles and follow the match-specific migration and segregation instructions published by the club.
Flares, smoke devices, fireworks, alcohol brought into the stadium, glass bottles, weapons and other dangerous items are not permitted. Supporters should not attempt to move into restricted areas, enter the pitch or ignore steward instructions.
Large flags, banners, drums or musical instruments should be agreed with the club in advance. For segregated fixtures, away supporters should remain in the away section and use the facilities provided there. Home supporters may be allowed to move around more freely at some matches, but this is always subject to the specific matchday arrangements.
Eastleigh publish specific accessibility information for the Silverlake Stadium. The club states that it has an accessible viewing platform with space for three wheelchair users and three personal assistants, with assistants seated either next to or behind the wheelchair user depending on the matchday setup.
Disabled supporters receiving higher rate DLA or PIP may be entitled to a free personal assistant ticket, which is obtained through the ticket office by presenting the relevant letter. Supporters should arrange accessible tickets in advance rather than waiting until matchday.
Away supporters with accessibility needs should check the latest match information and contact the club before travelling, especially because away areas and turnstiles can change from fixture to fixture. The stadium has accessible entrances, but capacity on the viewing platform is limited, so early contact is recommended.
There does not appear to be a regular public stadium tour programme at the Silverlake Stadium. Eastleigh advertise matchday information, tickets, hospitality and stadium facilities, but routine bookable tours are not clearly promoted.
Supporters interested in a private visit, group access or community event should contact Eastleigh directly. For most fans, the realistic way to experience the Silverlake Stadium is by attending a match rather than booking a formal tour.
