The pre-reason promise, optimism and excitement has come to a head and we’re ready and raring to go for Saturday’s 5:20pm kick off at Scunthorpe United.

This is Yeovil Town FC, of course, so hours before our big season preview the news broke that we’d sold our best player (#DFILWF) 48 hours before the season opener. Needless to say, we had plenty to say, and so did our National League expert/former Yeovil Town defender, Adam Virgo!

Joe Edwards has revealed he knew that Yeovil Town would book their place in the League One play-off final from the minute he ran out for the warm in the semi-final second leg against Sheffield United in 2013.

The former Glovers’ midfielder and captain has spoken about the 2-0 win over the Blades on the latest edition of the GloversPast.

Speaking ahead of his first return to Huish Park with Plymouth Argyle in this weekend’s pre-season friendly, he said: “Coming out before the game you could just feel the atmosphere, I had never felt anything like that.

Even though it was a smaller stadium than I had played in before or after, that was my favourite warm up ever.

It was packed as soon as we came out, I knew we were going to win from that moment, it just had that feeling and we replicated that with the way we started.

You can listen to Joe talk about his time at Huish Park including that magical season in the latest edition of the GloversPast below.

 

On today’s episode of the Gloverscast, Ian and Ben are joined by YTFC’s Strength and Conditioning coach Scott Wickens!

Scott takes us through what pre-season looks like at Huish Park, how his role has developed and gives us a fascinating insight into the level of detail that the club are going into with the squad’s preparation for the season ahead.

Plus, we talk Dorchester, Sam Pearson, Weston-super-Mare and take your GCQs.

Former Yeovil Town defender Nathan Smith has told the Gloverscast about his favourite ever goal in green and white – but it’s probably not the one you are thinking of.

The former Jamaican international scored a goal of the season contender in a 4-2 home defeat against Stockport County during his first spell at the club in December 2008.

Talking to us for the latest edition of the GloversPast, he revealed that goal was no fluke: “Andre McCollin can attest to it. The day before we were in training doing shooting and I think it was Jonesey (Nathan Jones) who said to me ‘keep working on your striking, put the ball down and strike through it.’

That’s all I was doing and when I scored it I felt a relief knowing a bit of practice and seeing that ball fly like it did fly, it felt sweet.

But the one that means more to me than the rest of them was against Plymouth in the cup because at the time my Mum was close to losing her life and no-one knew about that.

So when I show a few of my goals, people always look at that screamer against Stockport as my favourite, but because of everything that was going on behind the scenes, it made that moment a lot more special.

The goal against Plymouth Argyle came in a 2-1 home win in a League Two match at the end of January 2017, you can see it on a video shot from the Thatcher’s End – here. The Stockport goal is better though, see below.

Listen to Nathan talk to Ian and Ben about how becoming a professional player was “like going from a spoon to eating with a knife and fork” – here.

On this week’s podcast, we are joined by England and Team GB international Goalkeeper Giles Moore, he tells about his time growing up in Somerset, supporting the Glovers and how he turned his disability into an international football career that has seen him win 62 caps for England and go to Rio for the 2016 Paralympics… an incredible story.

Then, Ben and Dave chat Charlie Wakefield staying, Ollie Hulbert joining and take some GCQs as well.
