Was thinking about the GJ signings and how Lee was never the most popular and Jevons/Weale where it didn't really work out. But I think with the likes of Fontaine and McAllister going to Yeovil later in their careers and with GJ going back there again too I had a positive impression of them and usually liked seeing them do well. A long way back for them now, will have to see if this is even their lowest point. Guessing there will be a few gasheads with long memories who won't have forgotten this too...

I must admit, I ‘supported’ them when they were striving to get in to the league, much as I did Cheltenham and Forest Green, but I view their demise with a certain disinterest; I can’t take to Marc Cooper and, given their financial shenanigans, I have no real sympathy.

We dropped four divisions in less than half the time it took them Not to be facetious, but we actually dropped three divisions, from the first to the fourth! You are right though, in that they only managed two relegations in successive seasons. Amateurs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you on this one. Hard to believe he's the offspring of Sir Terry. Clearly nothing alike in character. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not surprised, they should be the biggest club in the county & a league one, too. They have been criminally mismanaged over the last 10 years. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoldenBall Posted April 18, 2023 Report Share Posted April 18, 2023 That’s a hell of a downfall. To think they were in the championship just under 10 years ago. Wouldn’t surprise me if they folded soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke_bristol Posted April 18, 2023 Report Share Posted April 18, 2023 Was fairly ambivalent about Yeovil and their plight until I just learned Mark Cooper is their manager. Now it’s funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swede Posted April 19, 2023 Report Share Posted April 19, 2023 I do feel a little sympathy with their supporters. They have been terribly run for a number of years. I don't get the love in Radio Bristol has with them though and why they should be afforded so much air time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Journalist Posted April 19, 2023 Report Share Posted April 19, 2023 Pretty amazing to think that 10 years ago they beat Sheffield United and Brentford in the League One play-offs to reach the Championship. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonBristolian Posted April 19, 2023 Report Share Posted April 19, 2023 My Grandad was from Yeovil and a Yeovil Town fan so I do have a soft spot for them. Sad to see how far they've fallen in recent years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad to see how far they've fallen in recent years. They've been at that level before, but not since 1996/97. Then they won the 6th tier with a record 101 points to begin their climb to league football. Be nice if history repeated itself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Isewater Posted May 4, 2023 Report Share Posted May 4, 2023 No one likes to see a football club go bust , especially when the clubs at the top of the pyramid have so much money they pay excessive amounts of money for overrated divas ( divers! ) from overseas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad to see how far they've fallen in recent years. Not sure how old he is but there's a fair chance I might know him. Support was down in the 1,000-1,200 range when I was younger, everyone knew everyone else (let's not do "you're all related anyway" joke.... ). Criminally mismanaged is correct and now apparently the newest takeover has fallen through. Interestingly, and maybe showing a little bit of hope for the situation, this news has come from the prospective owners personal Twitter rather than SU Glovers' account, meaning maybe there is a chink of light there. If there isn't, I see nothing else on the horizon than administration as the monthly wage bill is 70k and the new rent payments of £50k a quarter kick in this week. That's a lot of money to find when there's no matchday income coming in. Can't see too many people buying season tickets without knowing who the owner is going to be so it's all a vicious cycle. Sigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinforlife2 Posted May 4, 2023 Report Share Posted May 4, 2023 A part of me would like to see Steve Lansdown step up and buy Yeovil. The same part of me which would like to see him sell us to someone with ambition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
