Lucketts Travel Continues to Drive Success with Eastleigh FC Partnership

Eastleigh Football Club is now in its second year of travelling in style with Lucketts Travel, as the partnership between the club and the coach operator continues to go from strength to strength. 

Having secured the contract in 2024, Lucketts has been responsible for providing first team transport in a high-spec VIP coach, ensuring players and staff travel to away fixtures in comfort, safety and reliability throughout the season. 

The bespoke transport solution has become a key part of Eastleigh FC’s matchday operations, supporting performance by delivering a professional and consistent travel experience across the country. 

As the relationship has developed, Lucketts has also begun supporting the club’s wider travel needs, working closely with Eastleigh FC to explore and grow supporter coach travel to away fixtures helping fans stay connected with the team on the road. 

Jiten Desai, Commercial Director at Lucketts, said “Working with Eastleigh FC over the past two seasons has been a fantastic experience. We’re proud to play a role in the team’s journey and to provide a service that matches the professionalism of the club both on and off the pitch. We’re also excited to be expanding into supporter travel and strengthening our partnership even further.” 

Tom Coffey, Vice-Chairman of Eastleigh Football Club, added “Since our relationship with Lucketts began nearly two years ago, it has gone from strength to strength. There is a clear mutual understanding between both parties when it comes to meeting our requirements and delivering on our needs.

Whilst there has been a strong focus on supporting the first team, Lucketts have also played an important role in our Business Club events and, most recently, in the launch of our ‘BizBus’, along with providing added comfort and a better experience for our supporters travelling to away fixtures.

I look forward to continuing to work closely with Jit and his team in the future.”

With a shared focus on growth and experience, both organisations are looking ahead to building on this successful collaboration in the seasons to come.
