Those who visited the Rare Breeds Meat Company Stadium (catchy, eh?) last season will recall you could only buy tickets on the gate and the entrance to the away end was a bit of a squeeze, so Braintree have introduced modern technology – a QR code – to make it a bit easier.

On the Braintree website (wear sunglasses if you look at it), they say: “In an effort to speed up entry into our stadium, the Club has introduced a new online ticket service. Supporters can now purchase their tickets for matches by clicking the ‘Tickets’ tab above and then ‘Buy your tickets here’ tab. Following payment, supporters will then be sent a QR code that provides entry at the appropriate online entry turnstile.” Amazing what they can do with technology these says, eh?

Braintree have confirmed the match will be segregated and away supporters will enter via Gates 7 & 8.

Yeovil Town have been given a bye directly into the 2nd Round of the Somerset Men’s Premier Cup.

The draw for the first round took place on Monday evening and the Glovers were one of six teams given an automatic bye into Round Two.

Bath City v Larkhall is probably the stand out tie from the first round.

Yeovil won the SMPC two seasons ago, when Charlie Lee put out a strong side to lift the cup at Huish Park.

Yeovil Town’s home clash with Gateshead in January has been brought forward to Friday night.

Originally scheduled in for Saturday 18th Jan, the Glovers will now host the Heed on Friday 17th with a 7:45 kick off.

This appears to be a direct reciprocation from Gateshead moving the reverse fixture to allow for a slightly more favourable travel schedule for the Yeovil players.

Teenage central defender Raphael Araoye has joined Yeovil Town on a youth loan from Bristol City until January 2025, the club has confirmed.

The 19-year-old, who stands 6’3″ tall, spent three months on loan in National League South with Weston-super-Mare and played the full 90 minutes at Huish Park in February, a match sealed by a late goal from his new defensive colleague Morgan Williams.

He is able to play in central defender, left-back or left wing-back and will provide options for Glovers’ boss Mark Cooper on the left side of defence, where Alex Whittle is his only current option.

Trialists Jacob Roddy and Brandon Haunstrup have both auditioned for a role in that position during pre-season, but they have both found opportunities elsewhere in recent days.

Araoye has been at Ashton Gate since the age of ten and progressed through the club’s youth system, signing a three-year deal with the Robins in August 2022. He joined Weston in January and stayed in north Somerset until mid-April when he returned to his parent club having made 15 appearances.

Welcome to Huish Park, Raf!

Striker Aaron Jarvis said he was pleased to have got through a full pre-season for Yeovil Town without any injury concerns.

The summer signing missed large periods of last season with Torquay United with a knee injury which restricted him to just 19 appearances in National League South.

He played his first full 90 minutes in the 2-0 win at Weston-super-Mare in the final pre-season friendly before the National League Premier season gets underway, and capped his appearance off with the opening goal.

Speaking to the club’s YouTube channel after the game in north Somerset, the 26-year-old said: “I have managed to get the minutes in, I missed a lot of last season out with injury, so the main target was to get a good pre-season under my belt and I am glad to have done that.

“It is a completely different style of play to Torquay and you can see the patterns we are trying to work on, we showed that today with some good moves and I was delighted to hit the net as well just to get that confidence back.

“I am feeling really positive about (the new season), there is a good group of lads here, the Gaffer has recruited well and I think it could be a really positive season for us.

“I am only going to get fitter as we go in to the season and hopefully I will get better at bringing other players in to the game, that is my main role in the team, to be a link to the front men and hopefully I can do much more of that.”

In the 64th minute at Weston, the striker controlled a forward pass from Michael Smith and finished nicely across the keeper to give Yeovil the lead. The goal was his third in five friendly appearances having netted early in the campaign at Melksham Town and Frome Town.

He admits manager Mark Cooper has a range of options in his forward line with fellow new arrival Harvey Greenslade, who has scored five times in pre-season and came off the bench at Weston, complementing those already in the squad which lifted the National League South title last season.

Jarvis added: “We have got a great selection of players across the frontline, really creative players which is great for me because I know they are going to find me and link up with me, so I am really looking forward to the season getting started next week.

“I am buzzing and can’t wait to get going and we have a good group of boys who are raring to get started as well.”
