We think this might be a first for this season, but Yeovil Town fans looking to make the trip to Halifax on Saturday 8th of March CANNOT buy their tickets in advance.

The West Yorkshire club have told the Gloverscast that they operate a Cash-ONLY on the day ticketing system.

Your plastic will be not be accepted at the turnstile, your payment will need to come with a picture of the King or late Queen on please.

FC Halifax Town match day prices for the 2024/25 season are as follows:

Adult               £22.00

Concession      £19.00

12-17s            £10.00

U12s               £4.00

Please note it’s cash on the turnstiles.

What is a ‘concession’ you ask? Good question, we didn’t know either, so we asked for you.

A concession is anyone of ‘state pension age’ … or above.

If you are in need of wheelchair access, or any additional needs that may need some attention before making the long ol’ poke up to Halifax, the following information is available on site.

“Facilities for wheelchair users are available at 2nd and 3rd tier levels of the East Stand where they, and some blind spectators, can share one of two balconies.

Access for wheelchair users and their carers is via a lift inside the main entrance to the stadium (East stand) where an official will collect admission monies and sell match day programmes.

Catering facilities are at ground floor level in this stand so persons with mobility impairments, using the upper levels, may request assistance from an official at the entrance if they wish to avail themselves of these facilities.

Toilet facilities for people with disabilities are available at both balcony levels.

For further advice/assistance you should contact the Club Office on 01422 341222″

There’s pretty much nothing else we can tell you, all feels a bit simplistic, maybe a bit TOO simplistic?

Yeovil Town manager Mark Cooper has said he is looking to build on last weekend’s draw at Dagenham & Redbridge when his take on Wealdstone at Huish Park this weekend.

A first half goal from midfielder Brett McGavin earned the Glovers a point in East London, a result which defender Morgan Williams said would look like an even better one if they picked up maximum points at home this weekend.

They take on a Wealdstone side which has taken three points from their last six National League Premier matches, one fewer than the Glovers who have drawn four and lost two of their last six matches.

Speaking to BBC Somerset’s Josh Perkins on Thursday, he said: “It is about 90 minutes and performing and doing the best that we can. You cannot always control the result, but what we do try and do is control our performance. It is about clear clarity of thinking, making good decisions under pressure and doing what we do. I think when we get away from controlling games and start booting the ball forward, we’re nowhere near as effective. So it is about us doing what we do, doing it really well and trying to execute that and and getting a positive result.”

The manager said there were “a few bumps and bruises” to his squad with midfielder Charlie Cooper, who serves the second of a two-match suspension this weekend, missing alongside Sonny Blu Lo-Everton, Caleb Hughes and striker Aaron Jarvis for the visit from Wealdstone.

After what feels like an eternity, Yeovil are back at home this weekend and welcome struggling Wealdstone to Huish Park

The man in charge for the game is Isaac Searle, an official we have come across before.

This Saturday’s fixture actually represents his first game in charge at National League Premier level this season, he’s only been used in the South.

In 13 games, he’s dished out 63 yellows, a few reds and three penalties. Those penalties have all come in the past four games though.

We saw him just once last season, a 0-0 draw at home to Hampton and Richmond, in December.

We can find no record of his name even being mentioned in our match report on the day, which is usually a good thing even if he did show yellow cards to three Glovers.

Isaac will be assisted by Dean Treleavan and Stuart Kane, James Hooper is on fourth official duties.

Have a good one, gents.

There has been plenty of league action since the defeat at Rochdale, but we don’t care about that, we’re here for Yeovil! The Glovers took a step in the right direction with a 1-1 draw against Dagenham & Redbridge last weekend, let’s see what else happened on a brisk Saturday!

We begin at this Saturday’s opponents Wealdstone, who were thoroughly beaten by Gateshead in a 4-0 drubbing, leaving them three points from safety while Gateshead continued to keep pace in their playoff hunt. Altrincham put an end to Braintree Town’s impressive form, furthering their own good run with a 3-1 win at home, Alex Newby and Regan Linney both scoring and proving why they’re one of the most potent attacking sides in the division. It was far from a warm welcome back for Neal Ardley, as his Woking side were disposed of away at former employers York City, with January signing Josh Stones bagging a hat trick in a 3-0 win.

There were late goals in all three 2-1 scorelines on Saturday, and we’ll start at The New Lawn as Forest Green Rovers continued their title charge with a 2-1 win over Eastleigh, a 90th minute winner becoming a familiar sight for the Gloucestershire side. An 86th minute own goal by Jack Taylor handed Hartlepool United the three points away at Sutton United, while a 101st minute goal from Nathan Tshikuna was only a consolation, as Tamworth lost at home against FC Halifax Town.

The rest of the weekend was a fairly low scoring affair, as Solihull Moors continued their winless start to life under Matt Taylor with a 1-0 defeat at home against Oldham Athletic, and in a big result for the bottom end of the table, Maidenhead United won 1-0 at home against Southend United. Finally, the two lowest place sides frustrated playoff and title contenders respectively, as Ebbsfleet United took a point away from Rochdale, and Boston United sent 10-man Barnet home with a point, both games finishing 0-0. Aldershot Town and AFC Fylde’s fixture was postponed due to a unsafe playing surface.

It was not a game for the ages, but it was another point on the road for Yeovil Town at Dagenham & Redbridge. Dave was among the 311 travelling fans at Victoria Road and here’s his thoughts on the match….

Now you’re gonna believe us……we’re going finish 12th. That was an ironic chant which came from part of the away support during a thoroughly forgettable second half. This was every inch a match between two sides out of form who were desperate not to lose again and it showed. For the opening 20 minutes we we looked like 11 strangers and you could tell confidence was at rock bottom. To be fair, 12th would be very decent finish.
 
The plan was a good one. In his post-match interview, Mark Cooper said the plan was to make a fast start and “make Dagenham face their own goal” from the off. Unfortunately, it seemed like Dagenham had that same plan and executed it much better. Their goal was a lovely finish but the throw-in which led to it was totally unnecessary from Jake Wannell.  From there Dagenham’s tails were up and we looked rattled.
 
Stone cold. I was a fan of Ollie Wright’s towards the end of his tenure, but I saw enough from Aidan Stone to make me think he will be a decent replacement. Made some great saves, good distribution and he can kick the ball a really long way.
 
Aidan Stone had a decent debut between the posts yesterday.
 
Nice one Kyrell, nice one son. Kyrell Wilson impressed me. He showed plenty of effort and does not look like he is afraid to chase for even the most lost or lost causes. There’s talent there as well, it doesn’t always come off, but he sticks at it. We’ve had plenty of loan players who have taken their chance of game time and he’s started two out of two games since arriving, so Cooper is clearly seeing something from him.
 
It’s another point. I’ll try to finish on a third positive note (I deserve a bloody medal for that), we have added another point to our tally against a Dagenham side who, despite their poor form of late, possess some good quality players. Plus we got our first penalty of the season – okay, we didn’t score it, but credit to McGavin for finishing it at the second time of asking. Hopefully the point can pick us up even a little and now we need to back it up with a performance next weekend at home to Wealdstone.
 
The Yeovil Town players salute the 311 away supporters. Fantastic effort.

The Yeovil Town first team were picking up a point away in London, but what of the cohort of players out and about?

We start in the National League South, where defender Jordan Thomas helped his Torquay United side to a huge three points in the hunt for a play-off spot.

The Yellows left it late, but two goals after the 85 minute mark gave them all three points against fellow promotion contenders Eastbourne Borough.

There was also a big clash at the other end of the table where W*ymouth, Will Buse between the sticks, were on the wrong end a 3-1 score line against Chesham. Ex-Glover Brooklyn Genesini with the only goal for the Terras, his third goal in just two games.

 

Into the  lower leagues, and Sherborne Town had their game called off because of a waterlogged pitch, as did Wellington AFC, which meant empty weekends for Corey Koerner and Jacob Shore.

Down at Bridport, Sol Padmore and George Geraghty were both involved in their 4-2 win over Torridgeside AFC.

Earlier in the week, there was unfortunate news about Yeovil youngster Nansimir Nanev, who suffered a bad injury of Boxing Day, his loan club Sturminster Newton confirmed he ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament and will be out for a while.

We join Sturminster in wishing Nanev a swift recovery.
