It’s been four weeks since we last issued a the YeoGov survey – here’s a reminder of the results of that one. Since then the club held the fans’ forum at Huish Park, lost 4-0 to Rochdale, earned a draw at Dagenham & Redbridge and lost to 2-1 Wealdstone at the weekend.
We’ve got our usual questions around performance around the club and match experience (that one’s optional for you Exiles) but we’ve tacked one on the end about ‘the land’. At the fan forum a last month there was lots of discussion around the future of the land that surrounds Huish Park. With a deadline of May 2026 to make the most of the exclusive buy-back, the clock is ticking to purchase the land back from Somerset Council for more than £3m. Our own Ben sent a message in to BBC Radio Somerset’s breakfast show, asking Council Leader Bill Revans about the council’s view on the land.
Speaking at the fan forum, Martin Hellier said: “Whatever happens that land is going to get developed on. When you talk about the rent, I probably pay £100,000 a year to watch people walk their dogs on that land, so it is not my interests. We are well aware of the timeline, we have until May 2026 to buy back the land, we hold exclusive buy-back rights on the land, so no-one can come in and take that away from us.”
