Yeovil news


Yeovil Town boss Darren Way pleased with improvement ahead of visit of Pilgrims

Preparing for the visit of Plymouth Argyle this weekend, Yeovil Town manager Darren Way has revealed his joy at the improvement his side has made since his appointment.

Way replaced former Plymouth Argyle boss Paul Sturrock at the Huish Park helm in December after a poor start to the season. But since then they have managed to move up to 21st place, four points clear of the relegation zone.

They have taken seven points from a possible nine in their last three games notching up 2-1 and 3-2 wins over Crawley and AFC Wimbledon respectively and drawing 1-1 with Luton.

"For where the team was before to where it is now I think everyone can see the difference," Way told BBC Somerset.

"I didn't expect it to happen so soon. It's been six weeks now and I think the effort that the players have put in over a short period of time has been phenomenal.

"That's not just come from me, that's come from opposition managers, supporters, so things are looking good.

"It's important we don't become complacent and everyone keeps working towards that objective, and that's to keep that momentum going

VOLUNTEERS POTENTIALLY NEEDED TO HELP COVER PITCH

PUBLISHED

17:00 4th February 2016

With more rain forecast for the next couple of days Town groundsman Richard Allsworth has appealed for fans help.

If the forecast remains the same and there is a need to cover the pitch, Richard would like fans to help ahead of Saturday's fixture with York City. (I think they mean Argyle)

Fans are asked to potentially help on Friday afternoon. If you can help please email your contact details to [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and Richard will contact you.

Thank you in advance.

Looks ominous. Yellow weather warning for heavy rain on Saturday. Might make their pitch as bad as HP.

Never mind Saturday, looks as if Sunday into Monday is yet another howler of a storm. When will it ever stop ?

I've got weeks of outdoor work to do when it finally stops raining, getting beyond a joke now.

The met office have said that the UK may get a cold spell this month that could last for a longer duration.

I wouldn't hold your breath.

If there was some sort of trading standards equivalent for meteorologists, the Met Office would be shut down. Their forecasting accuracy, particularly time wise, is laughably poor.

We will get a long dry spell soon just because weather tends to average out over time, will need to be dry until September to average this lot out mind you. '76 anybody?

Yeovil Town are asking for fans to volunteer and help to remove covers ahead of the match against Plymouth Argyle.

With heavy rain forecast over night the club have covered the pitch to protect the playing surface from the elements.

Anyone able to help are asked to report to the Huish Park to reception at 10am.

Pasoti is the Noolmiesters Train set, though his independent mods all approve of his latest antics naturally.

Lots of westcountry matches being postponed.
And yet Yeovil bravely struggle on to get the covers off the pitch.
I have an uneasy feeling about this.....

Exeter, Rovers and Newport matches OFF.

If it's called off lots of people will be pissed off it wasn't called off sooner.
If it goes ahead...there's always the chance of it being abandoned, or if Argyle lose and the Green Army are soaked there'll be a lot of cries of 'it should never have been played'.
We await with baited breath.
At Home.
In the warm and dry.

POSTPONED!

GAME OFF

Shambles......however I can make the rearranged game so not all bad news

Off now to see Billy Connolly's last date at the Hammersmith Apollo, geddon.
