Ian, Dave and Ben are back to preview the Glovers Trip to York City. There’s floodlight chat too..
Greenslade will ‘see what happens’ with future
2026-04-16
Striker Harvey Greenslade is hoping he can finish the season with Yeovil Town well, but has admitted he will have to “see what happens” about his future at Huish Park.
The former Bristol Rovers frontman was the first signing of the summer of 2024 when he joined on a two-year deal following his release from the Memorial Ground and is one of a number of players who is out-of-contract this year.
He has managed just two goals in his 39 appearances this season, the same tally he managed last season, and his last goal came back at the end of August.
Speaking to BBC Somerset’s Josh Perkins ahead of Saturday’s trip to title-chasing York City, he admitted playing under four different managers – Mark Cooper, Richard Dryden, Danny Webb and now Billy Rowley – and not made it easy.
He said: “It’s been a bit hectic, I’ve not really had that before. I’m still young, so maybe I’ve not been as experienced as some of the other lads. With all the managers coming in, you want to play well for them, but they have all been really good to me. I wouldn’t say it has felt unstable, but we’ve all been a little bit in limbo at points, but now the ship’s a little bit steadied (under Rowley) and we want to make some progress and finish as high as we can. For me, I feel like I’ve played well at points and at times I could have been better, but I just want to do the best I can while I’m here for the last two weeks and see what happens going forward.”
The 22-year-old, who celebrated his birthday last week, has been asked to fill a number of different positions including at right wing-back in last weekend’s 0-0 draw at home to FC Halifax Town following a late injury to defender Kyle Ferguson in the pre-match warm-up.
Asked about his role, he said: “Whenever you’re called upon you’ve just got to give your all. Obviously, I’m a striker, but then I’ll be thrown in at right wing-back and you’ve got to do a job. As long as I can help the team out, I’m not going to complain and I think people know that.
“It’s all about learning, I just turned 22 and it’s all about getting more experience and helping the team while I’m here. I am just trying to improve as much as I can, taking on new things from some of the more experienced lads like Brett (McGavin) and Jake (Wannell). It’s just going to be a bit of a learning curve this season, but anything can help me improve then obviously I’ll take it on board.”
Yeovil have just two more fixtures remaining of the National League Premier Division season and travel to title-chasing York City on Saturday knowing their place in the division is already secured. The Minstermen could seal promotion to the Football League after more than two decades away if they win and second-placed Rochdale do not get maximum points at already relegated Braintree Town at the weekend.
Greenslade said: “I think these last two games for us are about expressing ourselves. Obviously, the lads have points to prove going forward, so we can put on a good show for the fans that are going to travel up and hopefully they get to see the net bulge and we can celebrate afterwards. I feel like one thing I’ll always do is give 100%. I think whether it’s to the gaffer, I want to show that I’m a professional player who can always give his all when I’m called upon and I’ll do my best.
“To me, it’s just another game we want to win. We could be playing Brackley and it would be the same kind of mindset. I feel like everyone’s going to be watching this game and looking at it and thinking “Okay, Yeovil drew to Rochdale a couple of months back and they could do the same to York.” Obviously it’ll be a tough test, they’re a top team with some good players. Some people might want it to go down to the last day, but if we can just go there and do our bit, get our three points and make our fans happy, then that’s what’s important to me.“
Rowley: We are looking to rebuild for next season
2026-04-16
Yeovil Town manager Billy Rowley has said the work to build a squad capable of challenging for the National League play-offs next season has already started.
The Glovers travel to title-chasing York City at the weekend for their final away trip of the season before finishing the campaign off at home to Solihull Moors seven days later.
But, the boss told BBC Somerset report Josh Perkins that his work will not stop when the final whistle sounds at Huish Park. He said: “We’re looking at the squad (to) rebuild for next season. We’re going to be in the office now all day looking at more things, not only on York but for the next few weeks and how that pans out. It’s a never-ending journey that we’re on.
“Obviously a lot of these lads will be remaining or some of them will be staying and we’ll be looking to bring in some fresh faces. I feel like the team is in need of a little bit of a rebuild, but we also want to reward the lads that have performed well this season. It’s going to be a mix of the two and we very much look forward to that.
“It’s something that I’ve done before personally; two years ago (at former club Walton & Hersham) I had to rebuild a team with three or four players and that season finished in the play-offs. I’m not going to say that’s going to necessarily happen next year, but that will be the aim and we’re going to aim high and we’re going to try and get some really good players in.“
In their first season back after at Premier Division level last season, the Glovers finished 18th and, even if they pick up maximum points in their final two fixtures, they are unlikely to break in to the top half of the division.
Asked about his play-off ambitions, Rowley added: “I would stand probably alongside another 14 to 15 managers in this division that would say the same. We don’t want to be a team, we don’t want to be a club that just turns up and makes the numbers up. When the league starts in August, we want to be winning every match and we want to be at the top end of the league and this club and this support base deserves that.
“It’s been an incredible learning opportunity for me in these past four months to learn loads about the level and about the players that I’m working with on a day-to-day basis and the support base. There’s nothing more I would like than in this time next year we’re having conversations than to be a team at the top end of the table and not talking about achieving 50 points because that’s not where we want to be.“
The Glovers expect to have on loan Cardiff City midfielder Dakarai Mafico available for the trip to York and Rowley revealed captain Jake Wannell has been testing his injury to see whether he will be fit. Fellow central defender Kyle Ferguson, who limped off after picking up an injury in the pre-match warm-up before last Saturday’s goalless draw at home to FC Halifax Town, has also been in training and will be “touch and go” for York.
The Glovers will be playing in front of a sell-out home crowd on Saturday as their hosts have a chance of clinching the title and a return to the Football League after 22 years away. They sit two points ahead of second-placed Rochdale, who travel to already relegated Braintree Town at the weekend, with the top two due to face each other in what could be a winner-takes-all final fixture.
Rowley said: “We can go to York on Saturday and play with the shackles off and try and be ourselves and cause an upset. With the greatest of respect for what them and Rochdale are trying to achieve, but we’re going there to win the game and play well.
“I think the natural thing to do when you’re towards the bottom end of the table is kick it long and play scared and play for set pieces and waste time and we’ve never done that. We’ve not been brilliant, we’ve not scored enough goals and we probably haven’t created as many chances as we’d like, but we’ve been brave in our build-up. We kept the boys trying to stay on the same patterns as we’ve been working on all season.
“We haven’t thrown those out the window and when it goes well for us, I think of like Tamworth at home, Morecambe at home we looked really good. So that’ll just be the message on Saturday really: keep doing what you’re doing, just do it slightly better.“
Match Officials – York City (A)
2026-04-16
I think it must be a big game this Saturday – we’ve been given a fairly high profile official for the level.
Darren Drysdale is the man in the middle for this crucial National League title impacting clash.
He’s an RAF Sergeant when he’s not whistling in the middle and got in a spot of bother of his own a few years back when he squared up to Ipswich’s Alan Judge.
So, yeah, let’s not mess with this chap.
He’s only refereed three other National League games this season, with his other 25 appointments coming in the EFL and associated competitions.
His season stats read, 28 games, 91 yellows, five reds and six penalties awarded.
He is closing in on 650 matches officiated in his career, but he hasn’t refereed a Yeovil game in quite a while.
We’ve had him 12 times, winning four, drawing three and losing five.
Most recently, an EFL Trophy defeat to Shrewsbury where Tom James and Otis Khan both saw yellow.
He also had a front row seat for ‘that’ 3-3 draw with Exeter, where Reuben Reid scored late in added on time to equalise for the Grecians, despite being 3-0 down on 87 minutes. (sorry for dredging that memory up).
He will be assisted by Martin Parker and Simon Robinson with Jack Churchill on fourth official duties.
SIR! YES, SIR!

York tickets back on sale
2026-04-13
Tickets for this weekend’s trip to title-chasing York City are back on sale for Yeovil Town fans – but there are a couple of caveats.
They will now only be available to Huish Park season ticket holders and supporters who have already purchased a home match ticket during the 2025/26 season which the Glovers have said is “in line with the request of the relevant safety authorities.”
Tickets for the game at the LNER stadium were taken off sale last week after increased demand from home supporters who will be turning up hoping to celebrate a return to the Football League.
The Minstermen are two points clear of second-placed Rochdale, who they face in the final game of the season, and could win the title with victory if Dale do not win at already relegated Braintree Town with both games kicking off at 5.30pm.
Announcing the news on Monday evening, Yeovil said: “Following ongoing communication with York City, tickets were temporarily taken off sale due to increased demand from home supporters. This allowed York’s stakeholders and safety team the opportunity to fully assess the situation and ensure supporter safety remains the top priority.
“As a result, tickets for this fixture will now be restricted. They will only be available to Yeovil Town season ticket holders and supporters who have already purchased a home match ticket during the 2025/26 season. Supporters without a home buying record this season will not be eligible to purchase.”
If you fulfil the criteria you have until midday on Friday to purchase a ticket which you can buy – HERE.

Ellison in Team of the Week
2026-04-13
It’s been a reasonably positive return to Huish Park for Dan Ellison who has come back from his loan spell at Weston-super-Mare and impressed in the back three.
His clean sheet against Halifax on Saturday earns him a spot in the official, team of the week.
Nice work, Dan!

Five Conclusions: Yeovil Town 0 FC Halifax Town 0
2026-04-11
Yeovil Town played out a 0-0 draw against play-off hopefuls FC Halifax Town on Saturday. Green and White Radio’s Tom Bailey was there, here’s what he took from the game…
It wasn’t one for the neutrals: That was a tough watch, if we’re being totally honest. Neither side threatened much in the first half, and while the game kicked into second gear in the second half, it never really felt like either side were truly going to take the game by the scruff of the neck. However…
A good result: While not the most entertaining game, from a result perspective this was a solid showing and a good result for us! Halifax have shown throughout the season that they’re a good footballing side, capable of taking complete control of games. We saw glimpses of that play today, but a steady Yeovil defence did a good job of keeping the likes of Adam Hmami and Will Harris at bay in challenging conditions.

Finn Cousin-Dawson: Now Finn is a player who will always prompt discussion among Yeovil fans (myself included). He’s good in defence, then he isn’t, then he’s rubbish in midfield and then he isn’t, then he gets hot-headed and sent off and then… you get the idea.
Called straight back into the starting XI today, originally as a midfielder before Kyle Ferguson’s injury in the warm-up forced him into the back three, Finn did a good job of helping lead the backline at such short notice. Big thumbs up from me, Finn.
Pic C/O Gary Brown
Clean sheet: The defence has taken on many different forms this season, with yet another new partnership taking shape today with FC-D, Mukena and Ellison starting and finishing the game. Along with the usual heroics from Jed Ward, they very much earned their crust today.
Will Harris has a great scoring record in the league, but he barely had a sniff today, and other threats from deep really didn’t cause much concern for the backline either. They may well be asking more questions for Billy Rowley to answer about their futures at Huish Park, with just the two games to go.
On to York: One more away day, and I’d argue it’s one of my favourites – the opposition have stacks upon stacks of talent, and with the *ahem* history between these two sides in recent years, it’s sure to be an intriguing game. Let’s take the positivity from this game, alongside the return of the likes of Dakarai Mafico and try and cause a stir on the big stage next weekend.
