The Glovers’ Trust has confirmed it will host a meeting of Yeovil Town supporters at the Yeovil Sports & Social Club at Johnson Park next Thursday.

The meeting is open to all supporters – you do not have to be a member of the Trust or any other group, just someone with an interest in the future of the club – and will take place from 7pm.

The Sports & Social Club is located on Coronation Avenue, BA21 3DY.

 

The Trust announced its intentions to host the meeting after the decision of SU Glovers to withdraw from plans to buy the majority shareholding in the club held by chairman Scott Priestnall.

It added: “Firstly, we will seek clarity from the directors regarding the current situation. Secondly, we must discuss what actions we as fans want to take next.”

The Trust added: “The Glovers Trust are disappointed to learn of SU Glovers’ decision to abandon their takeover of the club. This news, alongside the late payment of staff wages, further demonstrates the complete lack of leadership, interest and accountability from the club’s ownership. The Glovers Trust urge the remaining directors to act immediately and decisively to aid the survival of the football club.”

The Gloverscast is working with the Glovers’ Trust to live stream the meeting through Zoom which we hope to make available to any fans unable to attend and then as a podcast following the event.

Matt Uggla has announced his SU Glovers‘ group’s attempt to take over the majority shareholding of Yeovil Town is off.

In a post on his Twitter on Tuesday night, the 29-year-old said that the group had “really tried our best to get this deal done“, but said that he would not be acquiring the 72% stake held by club chairman Scott Priestnall.

In a post on his Twitter, the 29-year-old said: “We want to wish Yeovil all the best in these uncertain times. We really tried our best to get this deal done but it wasn’t to be. Just want to thank all the fans who stood by us through this whole process and were so kind and welcoming. We wish you guys all the best and we will definitely watch from afar and wish the club success. Glovers for life.”

 

It came less than an hour after the club had confirmed that players had been paid their April wages four days late and brings to an end a long-running saga over whether the son of multi-millionaire, Lance, and his mother, Julie-Anne, would complete the deal.

The question is now – what happens next? The club’s manager Mark Cooper‘s falling out with the former owner-in-waiting spilled out in to the open with public statements on both sides as the club careered towards relegation out of the National League.

Yeovil Town have confirmed that staff have been paid their April wages – albeit four days later than they should have been.

The first team turned out for the final game of the National League season on Saturday – a 1-0 defeat at Boreham Wood – despite not receiving their wages on Friday as expected.

In a statement on Tuesday, the club said: “We can confirm that Yeovil Town staff members have been paid today.

“The club would like to place on the record its thanks to staff members for their patience and understanding throughout this difficult period.“

With speculation over the club’s ownership continuing to rumble on, the question of who paid the wages is not mentioned in the statement.

Watch this space on that one…..
