Portland Bill Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Yeovil are the man ure of north Dorset,try finding an actual yeovil fan in the town itself,few and far between,Chelsea on the other hand.Go to the surrounding villages and that's where you'll see people wearing green and white,infact when I used to deliver to Westlands I would see more City stickers and car kits than Yeovil ones. I've always been confused about Yeovil,that town,and them having a larger football team than other towns in Somerset. Yeovil only has a population of approx 30k, Taunton has 70k and Bridgwater 40k. Yeovil is a real middle class, well to do town, the people are pretty pationless in my experience. They get crowds of 3-4k. Taunton is a very similar town but with double the population,,there football team only get crowds of approx 150 people!. A town roughly the same size as Burnley that can only get 150 people to watch there Football team! Bridgwater is the total opposite of those two towns,a very working class town, made up mostly of 3 massive council estates. Plenty of passion but the local club has never really taken off. The football team get crowds of 250 ish. Bridgwater has the sort of people that I would have thought would make a football town, but Yeovil is the football town, that's the part that confuses me!

Aizoon Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Just move the light source closer to the smaller object so it cast a larger shadow. Which is how the Moon manages to ellipse the Sun despite being very much smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trouble is, Bridgwater has a heavy contingency of bolt brained, inbred Neanderthals who couldn't work out how to pay for the admission to get in to watch the game. Source? Lived there for 25 years, out now thankfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridgwater has a large BCFC support base. Take away the shirt wearing,never been to a game Prem pub watchers, City are the most supported team in Bridgwater. Oh, and Bury has far to many letters for most in this town! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorset_Cider Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Or the Sun when eclipsed by the Moon. 'There is no darkside of the moon really. Matter of fact, it's all dark' Or so said the Floyd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Maesknoll Red Posted May 20, 2013 Admin Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 From what I member until about 25 years ago Bridgwater had about 4 surnames and a gene pool that meant they could all be bone marrow donators to each other. Along with their cousins on the levels..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
