Sorry to bring this one up again, but in the interest of fairness and consistency, we have to.
Harvey Greenslade has been given the nod as your Man of the Match following his goal scoring contribution off the bench in the FA Cup defeat to Hemel Hemsptead.
Byron Pendleton makes his first appearance on the table and as has become customary, Jed Ward is on there too.

Tickets are prices as follows, please note that despite Under 12s being FREE (hat-tip to Scunny), a ticket must still be ‘purchased’.
Tickets for other areas of the stadium do go up £2 on match days, but we can find no reference of that for the away end, but please don’t be shocked if you’re asked for £22 rather than £20 on the day.

Jamie O’Connor is the lucky little so and so that gets to referee Yeovil Town’s trip to Rochdale this coming Saturday.
We’ve only had the pleasure of his company once in his career, a rather disastrous 1-1 draw against Halifax in 2022/23.
Both Lawson D’ath and Edwin Agbaje suffered season ending injuries, Matt Worthington picked up a suspension-confirming yellow card and only a scrappy Malachi Linton goal gave the Glovers anything to shout about.
He did book Halifax defender Jamie Stott for … “encouraging” Agbaje over the advertising hoardings.
He’s a very experienced referee and has been used far more in the EFL than the National League this season,
In 10 games this season, he’s dished out 27 yellows and two red cards.
He will be assisted by Zharir Mustafa and Martin Parker, Ben Robinson is the fourth official.

The magic of the FA Cup takes us to Hemel Hempstead this afternoon, a place we’ve been before!
We welcome Will Beesley, the stadium announcer for Hemel to the pod to chat about their excellent start to the season.
“The FA Cup is is beneficial to the lower leagues. Everybody in the qualifying now wants to get through to the first round, not just for the the glory of it, but it’s financially good as well. So Hemel have the same ideas about us, wanting to get through. So it’s a tough place to go. You know, we’ve watched a lot of clips on them, they’re well organized. Very athletic. So you know, we’ve done our due diligence like we do with every game. So we’re going to get set up for them.”

Sorry to bring up that 3-0 home loss again, but despite the defeat there was at least one stand out performance.
Jed Ward claims your Man of the Match vote with a huge margin of support.
A little over 70% of you gave the Bristol Rovers loanee your backing with Harvey’s Greenslade’s second half cameo enough to grab second ahead of Kyle Ferguson in third.

It’s FA Cup week at Yeovil and it’s a fairly tricky looking tie for the Glovers away at Hemel Hempstead Town.
But, because it’s cup week, we’ve decided now is the time for not one, but two debuts on the Gloverscast.
Ben welcomes voice note regulars Michael Stone and Andrew Foot to the pod to chat about the goings on at Huish Park!
It’s cup time, everyone!
Yeovil Town will take on some old National League South adversaries in the form of those plastic pitchers, Hemel Hempstead Town on Saturday and the man in charge definitely knows his way to the ground.
Richie Watkins is the man in the middle, he’s taken charge of seven Hemel games in his career – no side has seen him more!
He’s also been looking after games involving Yeovil twice in the past – both times saw the Glovers lose.
He took charge of a 1-0 home defeat to Bromley in 2022/23 and a 2-0 away defeat to Maidenhead United.
Below you can see him dealing with a minor skirmish in the Glovers’ penalty area – Grant Smith is about to get that Yellow card he’s holding.
This season, he’s been a little on the stricter side, four National League games have seen 25 yellow cards, and he got two of his three ones out in a tasty little game between Altrincham and Carlisle.
He will be assisted by Amarjit Sarao and Alex Rolfe with Dan England on fourth official duties.

An afternoon to forget for the Glovers, so here’s a lovely array of images of the day for you to remember it by! Sorry about that!
