cambridgeshire canary 6,691 Posted September 4, 2022 Lovely little video, worth a watch if you get the time. Was a fatastic example of a club going way above the odds and doing far better than they should, on a tiny budget compared to the rest (hmm, somewhat like us in the top flight I suppose..) even if it did not last all that long Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Angry 1,554 Posted September 4, 2022 I was surprised to see that Yeovil had dropped into the National League. I watched them play at Wealdstone last Monday. Wealdstone had a player sent off after 10 minutes but Yeovil couldn’t take advantage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crabbycanary3 994 Posted September 4, 2022 I remember watching us play them when they were a non League team, the first time round Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted September 5, 2022 Rapid rise and even quicker decline. Lovely little club. I was there for our 4-0 league cup win and 3-3 draw and they were so much in awe of us. Really respected who we were and none of the arrogance others showed us. The Johnson's did well with the club and when they left/sacked was the start of the decline.

raunds canary 215 Posted September 5, 2022 The 1979 cup game at Yeovil was viewed as a potential upset but seem to remember fashanu paddon and Taylor scoring in a 3-0 win Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shefcanary 2,392 Posted September 5, 2022 Wow, all yellow in that era - never thought we did that until the late 90's. Was that a one-off? And Keelan in Blue, cos' of Yeovil's green shirts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheRock 170 Posted September 5, 2022 They had a handful of decent players too that are still playing in PL/Championship, and in Scotland.

aBee 151 Posted September 5, 2022 Hateful team. My next door neighbour back in 2013 was a fan. Closest I’ve ever come to keying a car was seeing his Yeovil sticker after the play off final. I did enjoy talking to him about winning at Chelsea last season. And that my boy supports Brentford too while his is Leeds (they’ve been friends since they were babies- much bantz while we were at the game on Saturday) and he now goes to Leeds more than Yeovil.

Ren 75 Posted September 6, 2022 I went in L1, cant say I really enjoyed the experience. Place was a right pain to get to on the train and I managed to get a lift back to Norwich on the club coach (another story) and it took us forever to get out of the Town.
