An unhappy Billy Rowley

Yeovil Town are back at Huish Park on Saturday afternoon as they take on fellow strugglers Morecambe in the league.

FORM…

YEOVIL TOWN

The Glovers haven’t been at their best over the last month or so with performances dropping off. Those bad performances have resulted in losses and a slip down the table. In their last games against Woking it was more of the same for Yeovil as they lost 1-0.

The game was marred on the Glovers behalf at least by striker Aaron Jarvis receiving his 10th yellow card of the season meaning a suspension. With Jarvis out and Tahvon Campbell on loan, Billy Rowley now only has new recruit Millar Matthews-Lewis to rely on up top.

Speaking of Rowley, his damming post match interview, where he questioned his players mentality and pleaded for “some more passion” will hopefully get a spark out of his squad.

MORECAMBE

If this was a month or so go it would be a different story. A team that was minutes away from being extinct, languishing near the bottom of the table with poor result after poor result. However, they have since parted ways with Ashvir Johal and brought in Jim Bentley, who has done a good job in getting a more consistent tune out of the side.

Over the last five games, the Shrimps have won twice, drawn twice and lost once (to York). It was a 1-1 draw for the Seasiders last time out as they faced Braintree at home, but it has been the scoring prowess of the Lancashire side that has been impressive. In the last five games they have scored 15 goals, a cause for concern for the Glovers defence.

KEY PLAYERS…

YEOVIL TOWN – MILLAR MATTHEWS-LEWIS

I feel bad for putting him in the position of key player when he has only played a handful of minutes on Tuesday night. But it shows the level of desperation we are now at that we have to rely on a very new loanee to get us going. As mentioned with Aaron Jarvis now suspended. Matthews-Lewis will need to step up in a big way on Saturday.

Millar Matthews-Lewis.

A big problem for the Glovers all season has been goals, so the hope of bringing the 21-year-old in is that he can hit the ground running. In his 24 appearance in the National League South this season the Burton Albion youngster has bagged 12 goals, something he can hopefully transfer in the step up.

MORECAMBE – JACK NOLAN

There was only one man that I could pick for this after doing some research and that is Jack Nolan. The 24-year-old is a midfielder that every manager dreams of. Technically very good, can set up a goal and even finishes them himself. In fact so far this season the midfield master has found the net 15 times, yep you read that correct.

Although performing at a good level before the arrival of Jim Bentley, Nolan has stepped it up a gear for his new boss with 10 goals in that time, six of which have come in his last three games. And what is perhaps even more impressive for you geeks out there is that he hit a match rating of 10 (on Sofascore) when Morecambe beat Sutton 5-0 two games ago.

It could be a long day for Yeovil if they don’t set up well against the tricky winger.

THE GAFFER…

As I have mentioned a couple of time already the Shrimps now have Jim Bentley in charge after dismissing Ashvir Johal. The 49-year-old is no stranger to Morecambe though serving as their manager from 2012-2019, before leaving for AFC Fylde. After three years at the Mill Farm, the Scouser was dismissed. He then went on to manage Rochdale and Southport.

Bentley also played professionally only playing for two clubs, Telford and Morecambe. It was with the Shrimps that he was most associated with playing over 300 games for the club.

As a manager Bentley has faced Yeovil nine times, winning five, drawing two and losing two.

LAST TIME WE MET…

When the two sides last locked horns the game was dull to say the least. With the match finishing 0-0. When they last faced off at Huish Park, back in 2019, however it was a much more exciting fixture, with the Glovers winning 3-2.
Yeovil went 1-0 down early on thanks to a Richie Bennett goal. They did get themselves back into the game after halftime, as a quick fire double from Tristan Abrahams put them on top. The Shrimps then equalised in the 83rd minute as Steve Old looked to have secured a share of the points, before Yeovil boy, Ryan Seager put the game to bed four minutes later.
A collector’s item. Tristan Abrahams scoring one of his two goals in a home win over Morecambe during his loan spell in 2019-20.

DON’T I KNOW YOU…

There are no former Glovers to look out for on Saturday.

THE MAN IN THE MIDDLE…

Aaron Farmer will be the man with the whistle on Saturday afternoon. For more on him and his team read Ben’s article here.

Another game, another Jed Ward man of the match vote.

… can you ‘Splatt’ into somewhere? Or was that just a terrible effort to weave our new midfielder’s name into a headline pun? Not sure, anyway, I digress

Yeovil Town have announced the loan signing of Delano McCoy-Splatt from Wimbledon for the rest of the season.

Formerly of Fulham, the midfielder has been capped at full international level by Jamaica and head to Huish Park for the remainder of the campaign.

Two of the Glovers’ loanees; Dak Mafico and Josh Tobin have injuries which may take them out for some (or in the case of Tobin, possibly all) of the season and Splatt joins to bolster the ranks.

He’s represented Wimbledon a handful of times this season, including against Gateshead in the FA Cup.

Welcome to Somerset, Delano!

Huish Park

The latest development – or lack thereof – in the saga of Huish Park hasn’t provided any explicit clarity but if we read between the lines I think we can make some strong assumptions.

The club told me that they are continuing to “work constructively with the Council to identify a mutually agreeable position regarding the potential purchase of Huish Park. Discussions intensified earlier this year and an offer has been submitted, on which the Council has provided feedback. We are now working from that position to see where a point of agreement can be reached.” Somerset Council deny that a formal offer has been placed.

Clearly, one side thinks this is a negotiation and the other doesn’t. Somerset Council will see the terms of the buy back – closer to £3.5m and increasing, than the original £2.8m – as locked. That’s the price the owners will have to pay to reunite the land and stadium with the football club operations, a pledge made early on following their takeover.

Yeovil Town owner Prabhu Srinivasan interviewed during a visit to Huish Park.

The owners will have known that through the due diligence, but are they right to try and budge the council? At the time when the deal was announced SSDC (the council prior to the merger of all councils) said the deal would “help with the club’s survival, generate a new rental income, while protecting our ratepayers from loss or excessive risk.”

Four years on, the deal is certainly weighted in one direction, as many predicted at the time. Despite the initial claims that the deal ‘saved the club’, we’ve seen no hard evidence of what that money contributed to the club. It cleared CV Leisure’s debt with MSP capital, and I’ve been told the club saw very little of what was left after, if anything. Due diligence wasn’t done on the individual stripping the club of its assets and Somerset Council has an even higher rental income from the original deal.

“The damage done by this deal was entirely foreseeable”

We all know councils are cash-strapped, it’s a fact across the country and this month our Council tax bills are landing on the doormat with the maximum 4.99% increase. In my opinion, it’s disingenuous – still – to have ever positioned this as a deal integral to the ‘survival’ of the club. It’s not unheard of for councils to charge nominal rents to football clubs. Luton Borough Council have owned Kenilworth Road since 1989, having bought it from the club for £3.25m for a seven-year lease on a ‘peppercorn rent’ which has been extended multiple times and runs until 2028. Other examples you see are of smaller rents where the council covers the costs of running the venue. What we have is the worst of both worlds, high rent and the responsibility to maintain and operate Huish Park.

If the club was truly at the heart of this deal, the rent should not have increased, the buy back price should not increase. As it is, we’re up to nearly £230,000 a year (imagine what that would do to the playing budget) and facing an ever-increasing buyback price that any investor would want to ensure has a worthwhile return.

The damage done by this deal was entirely foreseeable. We’re on our second owner since it was completed and you need deep, deep pockets to buy it back to then develop it in the first place. Alongside operating a loss-making National League club with his expectations and high expenditure.

Of course, at the root of this there is still the fact that the deal is the deal, but I genuinely feel we have owners with good intentions and aspirations for Huish Park as a community facility, a bi-product of which would benefit the ratepayers and the people in Yeovil. The contradictory statements suggest to me that the relationship with Somerset Council isn’t quite as rosy as it could be, but in the history of Yeovil Town FC, has it ever been?

It’s a big one at Huish Park when Morecambe come to town this Saturday and the man in the middle for the game is Mr Aaron Farmer.

Mr Farmer has taken charge of just eight National League games this season, dishing out 33 yellows in those fixtures, but that low number is because he has been fairly well spread out across the EFL and cup competitions.

In total, in 29 games, he has flashed the yellow 107 times, and found the red one on eight occasions – the same number of times he’s pointed to a penalty spot.

His only previous visit to Huish Park as a central referee came almost exactly one year ago, a 1-0 loss to York City in March 2025.

He awarded the high flyers a spot kick, in the end, the Ollie Pearce 12-yard tap in was the only difference.

He also took charge of the 2-0 away win at Woking in the same season, sending off Jack Stretton early on in that one.

Mark Senior and Joe Wright are his assistants with John Duffy looking after the dugouts.

  • YTFC confirm an offer has been submitted to purchase Huish Park following ‘intensified’ discussions, Somerset Council claims no ‘formal’ offer made
  • Owners have engaged Headland Hospitality to draw up plans including a hotel and the club is “working positively to progress with the ultimate aim is to reunite the club with land and stadium.”

Somerset Council says no formal offer has been made to buy back Huish Park and the land surrounding it, despite the club providing confirmation to Gloverscast that an offer was submitted to Council Leader Bill Revans, CEO Duncan Sharkey and the relevant officers on December 31st 2025.

We understand the owners have engaged Headland Hospitality  – a company which provides strategic hotel consulting for owners, investors and developers – to draw up plans for the Huish Park site.

We emailed club owner Prabhu Srinivasan and Chief Operating Officer, Nicholas Brayne these questions:

  1. When do you expect to have plans and will you share them with supporters?
  2. How are the conversations with Somerset Council with regards to buying back Huish Park and the land? In November you said you hoped to purchase by the end of the season. Is that still on course?

In a statement, they said: “We continue to work constructively with the Council to identify a mutually agreeable position regarding the potential purchase of Huish Park. Discussions intensified earlier this year and an offer has been submitted, on which the Council has provided feedback. We are now working from that position to see where a point of agreement can be reached.

“We absolutely respect the Council’s role in the process and appreciate the way in which they have engaged in dialogue with us. As you would expect with any matter involving a local authority and a significant asset such as Huish Park, these discussions can take time, particularly given the pressures councils are currently operating under.”

Contradicting the statement from the club, a spokesperson for Somerset Council said: “Whilst we continue to meet with the club and know that they have stated their intention is to buy the land back, no formal offer has been received to date.”

In November, Prabhu Srinivasan told the BBC the club hoped to purchase Huish Park and the surrounding land back from Somerset Council by the end of the season. Two months before that the club announced a two-year extension to the exclusive buy-back clause, with the Council revealing the yearly rent on the club’s home sitting at £229,130, up from the £195,000 per year former chairman ‘He Who Must Not Be Named’ saddled the club with. The buy back price is index linked and is likely to be significantly higher than £2.8m. Our maths – not a Gloverscast strong point – suggests it’s likely to be closer £3.5m. This figure will increase over time.

“Both parties have been careful to keep discussions appropriately discreet”

The club statement added: “Our focus throughout has been to ensure that any arrangement reached is firmly in the long-term interests of the football club and allows the site to be used in a way that supports the club’s sustainability and its role as a community hub.

“At this stage it is difficult to go into much more detail. Both parties have been careful to keep discussions appropriately discreet while conversations are ongoing, and we feel it is important to respect that process.

“What we can say is that an offer has been put forward and we are continuing to work positively behind the scenes to progress matters, with the aim of ultimately reuniting the club and stadium.”

We have spoken to the club following the council’s initial response and they have provided confirmation that an offer was made. We have followed up with Somerset Council to ask if they considered the club’s offer ‘formal’. They have responded to say ‘there’s nothing we can add to our statement’.

That clears that up then.

Dakarai Mafico looks set to miss the games against Gateshead and Southend due to his international duty with Wales Under 21s.

The midfielder, on loan from Cardiff has been called up for their U21 Euro Qualifiers against Belarus and Denmark.

Mafico will be involved on Friday 27th March (the day before Gateshead Away) and Tuesday 31st March – the same day as the Glovers head to Southend.

Prior to the game against Woking, Billy Rowley had suggested that – the currently injured – Mafico had turned down the chance to join up with the Wales U21s squad, but when the squad was announced at 2pm on Wednesday, his name was still on the Welsh FA’s list!

He said: “Dak has got tendonitis in his Achilles. Sadly for us, we heard a few days ago that he was going to be missing for three games due to a Wales (Under-21s) call-up which is great for him, sad for us. Injury has kept him out of that international call-up, so he has gone back to Cardiff for the next week and, as much as it would have been great for him to go on an international camp, he was going to miss three games for us. It might mean now if we can help him with this Achilles problem, he might only miss two games for us.“

Congratulations on the call up either way, Dakarai!

The Football Association have confirmed to the Gloverscast that Aaron Jarvis will serve a two-match suspension after picking up his 10th yellow card of the season against Woking.

The game was the Glovers’ 37th league game, which does represent the cut off point for a 10-yellow card ban, meaning had he gone unscathed last night, he would have had to get to 15 bookings before a spell on the sidelines kicked in.

Jarvis has already served a suspension this season following his red card vs Rochdale in February and will now miss the games against Morecambe and Wealdstone before being available for the trip to Gateshead on March, 28th.
