It's a huge SPAT this is.

It’s not Mansfield v Grimsby circa 2011 but given time..

The bloke who wrote the article and the paper themselves tweeted links to it this morning and used our hashtag so it appeared in our fans' timelines. As you're so obsessed with it i'll attach a screenshot

I'd give up now if I were you before you dig yourself an even bigger hole.

I think it's called "click bait". And it appears to have worked. Best avoid articles on the Harrogate Advertiser if you don't want to know what they think

It’s not patience is just that for a lot of clubs here it’s neither here nor there if they win or not and that’s what makes it hard for ex FL sides. It’s a cultural adaptation. We’re down here for various reasons but whatever tinpotters say, there’s definitely a proper club thing going on, with expectations and demands to get out of this cesspit. Same can’t be said about 75% of the league who don’t have a ‘real’ support base. It’s just a bit of a jolly for them and the crap defeats in front of 500 or 1000 is depressing but you’ll win the league so nowt to worry about.

We're all down here for the same reason- we were SHIT on the pitch. We're all still here for the same reason- we're SHIT on the pitch.

Mr. Glover Lover v the whole of non-league.

 

[EnglishRed]

He's no Joseph Smith but I like his moxie.

Like Yeovil he's far too big for this league.

 

[MrGloverLover]

I fully embrace non-league, it's much more fun. We're enjoying being back in tinpotland.

Unlike most teams relegated from the EFL a lot of older Yeovil fans will be used to non-league having watched it before. You also know how hard it is to get out of the league so weren't mouthing off. Those 2 things combined meant most non-league fans welcomed back one of their own with open arms....

Spot on. When I first started watching Yeovil we were in the Isthmian League playing the likes of Walthamstow Avenue and Leyton Wingate. I'm enjoying us doing well but am certainly not getting ahead of myself.

Wrexham situation looks like a mirror image of what happened at York,big January for them.
We went from play offs to appointing a idiot who ruined our club (McNamara) then appointed a previous manager (Mills) who did well first time round.Does this sound familiar Wrexham fans.
Play offs to appointing Hughes (he coached my son at i2I football academy in York before appointment) which was obvious out of his depth,then going back to a manager who did well in past.
How is Summerfield doing? Was absolute quality in a good team but when in a struggling team he was pants and not up for battle.went down with him and Penn together.

This is the sort of insight that enabled me to predict the relaunching of both Hereford and Darlington, 2 years before they occurred. Events at the clubs mirrored those at my club a few years earlier.

What circumstances put a Somerset side into the Isthmian? You've got sides from the western and northern fringes of London in the Southern leagues now. I'm clearly too young to follow this, but would like to say that Yeovil are pretty much the archetypal Conference side to me (as an medium-sized town that no non-football fan has heard of, who have no proper rivals, and were in the Conference around the turn of the century).

I think your actually doing yourself a disservice there B2TF, in your entire history you have only ever suffered one relegation whilst achieving four promotions and are currently in your highest ever league position. So saying that you were shit on the pitch is being very harsh on yourselves.

We asked to be put in the Isthmian because it was an easier league than the Southern. We are a small town but one of the main places in Somerset, most people i've spoken to since moving to Staffordshire have heard of Yeovil and a lot have been there, not football-related either. We did historically have proper rivals (Weymouth and Hereford) but we went up as they went down.

How many spells in the Isthmian did you have? I remember Sutton v Yeovil fixtures in a couple of mid 90s seasons, and I know we played Yeovil in at least one of our back to back Isthmian title triumphs in the mid 80s

2 spells, in the mid 80s and the mid 90s.
