Hampshire Whites Support Diabetes UK

In memory of Steve's wife, Carol

Hampshire Whties raised money via their raffle and were able to present £300 to Diabetes UK in memory of Steve's wife, Carol.

Chris, Kelvin, Stu, Diane, Mick and Jacqui joined Steve, Carol's sister Sue and nephew Adrian to meet up with Louise from Diabetes UK at Eastleigh Football Club to present her with the cheque. After the presentation we went to Sherwood's restaurant at the Silverlake stadium where we had a very good lunch and were made very welcome.

Carol had Type 1 diabetes from the age of 7 and managed it very well all her life. Unfortunately she died unexpectedly in May 2023, which was a real shock for Steve, their son, Peter, daughter, Tracey and other members of the family.

She supported Steve in his passion for Leeds United - even though she wasn't a football fan. Carol became friends with many Hampshire Whites members and supported us at the cheque presentation at Naomi House. She was full of life and is sadly missed by those who knew her.

Life as a Hampshire Whites Youth Member

By Oscar Casey-Batley, Age 13 • January 29, 2025

In January 2024 my dad took me to see my first ever Leeds United game. I liked it so much I asked if we could go again. But my Dad said we would have to see as it cost too much for travel. We kept watching on the TV and I kept on at my Dad about going to Elland Road again. Then in July time we met this man in the Range in Andover, I later found out he was Simon the Pie man. We got talking about Leeds United because of his tattoos and he told us about the Hampshire Whites. That night my Dad filled in some forms online and signed us up to the Hampshire Whites. Before long we got our badges in the post and we were members.

The Lottery of the Playoffs

To be so close to clinching automatic promotion back to the premier league and then fall away at the end was disappointing to see. But, looking at the overall picture and the mass exodus of players leaving or wanting to leave during pre-season the team have done incredibly well under the management of Daniel Farke.
