Another way for the team to generate income was through sponsors from local stores and professionals such as Nalder Cox, Electrical Engineer on 32 High Street Eastleigh, J. Morris & Son 78 Market Street, Eastleigh and the Hilliker's supper bar, 63 High Street Eastleigh, see HMCMS:SH1995.46.2. These sponsors and adverts highlight the relationship between local teams, businesses and communities.
