It started with one supporter inspired by the off-the-field turmoil surrounding the takeover of Yeovil Town to post his feelings about what the club meant to him.
That with the addition of a hashtag – #YTFCMeansToMe – quickly spread across social media with supporters posting what the club meant to them.
Here are a selection of just a few of the posts, starting with the first one from Glovers’ fan Eliott Watts…..
You might wonder why the situation at Yeovil seems to matter so much, why we’re all concerned and banging on about it? I dumped my thousands of thoughts onto a page about why it might mean nothing little more than money to some, yet to many of us, it’s so much more. #ytfc ?? pic.twitter.com/e4bQQ2l3Az

Spending hours in the street outside our house making this banner. It had wire along the top, running between two wooden poles at either end. My dad’s Somerset engineering at its best. #YTFCMeansToMe pic.twitter.com/Nz8e4kgJdD

Too difficult for words to REALLY describe what #YTFCMeansToMe in words but there are a few images that really bring together just a snippet of what it means. #ytfc pic.twitter.com/NZg67Lcmtx

Great words by @ytfcwattsy.#YTFC is about the bond I had with my grandad. It's about the memories and moments with family since 1998. That's why I always want to be under the H in Screwfix stand when I can, because that's where my best memories were made.#YTFCmeanstome https://t.co/4tVlglQrag
