25/26 Season Survey – The Results

At the end of the 2025/26 season, the Gloverscast launched our end of season survey, with a wide range of questions for Yeovil Town fans to answer.

Topics ranged from the success of the manager(s) and some of the key topics that circle around the club at the moment, including land ownership, training facilities and long term prospects. Here are just some of the key takeaways that came from the 341 responses.
Thank you to each and every one for having your say, as ever with the Gloverscast polls, all results were on a 1-7 scale, where seven is the best and one is the worst.

A BIT ABOUT YOU!

Over 53% of respondents were aged 54 or over, with just 18.5% of those falling into a category that made them under the age of 35.

Over 90% identified as male. 46% were season ticket holders, with that number sneakIing above 50% for those who have had a season ticket in the last five years.

What’s more you’re a loyal bunch, when asked what makes the difference for you when buying a season, well over a third of you said you’d go regardless of how things are going on or off the pitch.

Second place consideration was the cost of tickets, followed by the quality of the squad,

HUISH PARK

Onto the place we call home, and on the whole, things feel pretty good. By the end of last season, most of you think the facilities are well looked after, with 127 of you scoring this subject a five, six or seven, that’s four more than those who scored it one, two or three combined. The mean score of this works out at almost exactly four out of seven (3.96 to be precise)

As for value for money, it’s a similar story with scores of four and five tied level in terms of responses.

Let’s get into the match day experience shall we?

Here’s some of the key scores from the survey, the vast, vast majority of you feel safe at Huish Park and that on the whole, the stewarding team are good.

Personal Safety                       ███████████████████████████████████████████ 6.4
Steward Team                           █████████████████████████████████████       5.6

When asked to break down the value and options of food and drink of a match day, there were slightly fewer high grade scores then when asked to consider overall value for money (above).
Overall Value For Money saw 167 responses offer a five, six or seven. When specific to food, that dropped slightly to 142.

Most (118) people gave the quality of food served on match days a score of four out of seven, 162 scored higher, just 61 scored lower.

Similar story with regards to the quality of drink, 111 people scored four, 179 scored higher, just 51 scored beverage quality lower than a 4/7.

THE MANAGERS

This one might take a while!

We asked you if you were happy with the appointment of Billy Rowley – remember this was before a single player was signed and before a single pre-season ball was kicked.

Yes, was the answer – over 70% of those who responded offered the appointment of Billy Rowley and his team a six or seven out of seven. 17 votes scored the appointment below average.

We also asked you about the performance of Billy Rowley, Mark Cooper and Richard Dryden during the season as a whole, you can see below the difference between the two fully permanent managers. with most people offering a score of three for Dryden, the feeling is he probably comes out of a bonkers season on the right side of history given the tough circumstances, but that it was right to move on.

Prabhu Srinivasan and his family, who now own Yeovil Town also formed part of the questioning, the vast majority (75%) recorded an above average score when asked if they thought the new Chairman was ‘a competent owner with the club at heart’.

Whilst there are far more of you who consider yourself optimistic about the future of the club than don’t.

The graph skews slightly to the left when asked to consider if the club ‘has a clear plan’, and how the club communicated throughout the season. Suggesting there is a fair amount of trust, and belief that the ownership is helping the club in the right direction, but a little more clarity and communication wouldn’t go amiss.

Media & Broadcast Consumption

The survey shows that the majority of those who responded visited the Gloverscast website daily (44.5%) whilst almost two thirds consider the Gloverscast a main source for Yeovil Town news and content (61.6%) – (We’re blushing here a bit, thank you….)

A huge majority (62.%) watched a grand total of 0 Yeovil Town games via the DAZN streaming platform last season, but plenty of you did take advantage of local radio output.

Only 20% of those who responded listened to 0 Yeovil Town games on the radio, almost a third of people listened to 11 or more fixtures via local radio. Proving that the support of local BBC continues to provide a vital resource for Glovers fans.

For those who did watch some of the DAZN output, the feeling of the quality was, at best, neutral, whilst the local Radio Coverage scored far more positively.
