In this episode of The Glovers Past, we dive deep into one of the most memorable and turbulent periods in Yeovil Town’s history. Joined by Mike West from the YTFC Heritage Society and former player and manager Steve Rutter, we reflect on the late 1980s and early 1990s when the club faced immense challenges, nearly folded, and experienced dramatic highs and lows.

Dave, Mike and Steve cover:

• The Brian Hall Era & The Long Road to Yeovil: Steve Rutter shares his journey moving 147 miles from Northampton to join Yeovil Town in 1987, detailing what it was like playing under Brian Hall and adapting to a historic non-league powerhouse.
• The Magic of Huish & The Sloping Pitch: A nostalgic look back at the iconic Huish ground, exploring what made its famous sloping pitch unique and the unmatched atmosphere generated by loyal crowds of over 3,000 fans.
• Financial Struggles and Management Realities: Steve offers a candid, behind-the-scenes look at the extreme financial pressures, the stresses of football management, and the highs and lows of guiding the club through unforgettable FA Cup runs and title challenges.

In this episode of Glovers Past, we sit down with Charlie Lee, calling in all the way from the Gold Coast of Australia, to reflect on his deeply eventful spell at Huish Park.

Arriving in the summer of 2019 after Yeovil Town’s relegation to the National League, Charlie was a key part of Darren Sarll’s sweeping squad rebuild. He takes us inside a dressing room packed with massive characters—including Carl Dickinson, Luke Wilkinson, and Lee Collins—and breaks down the momentum that saw the team rack up six consecutive wins before the world ground to a halt.

Charlie speaks candidly about the highest of highs and the lowest of lows during his time in Somerset, moving from his playing days into his first taste of management when he stepped up as interim boss.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The 2019 Rebuild: Dropping into the National League, answering Darren Sarll's call, and assembling a squad of seasoned leaders.
• The Covid-19 Playoffs: The bizarre reality of preparing for the biggest games of the season during a national lockdown, and the surreal experience of playing the playoffs behind closed doors.
• Stepping into the Dugout: Transitioning from player to interim manager after Sarll's departure, navigating the pressure, and lifting the Somerset Premier Cup.
• Remembering Lee Collins: A heartfelt and candid reflection on the devastating passing of the club captain, the profound impact it had on the squad, and the incredible difficulty of returning to the pitch in the aftermath.
• Life Down Under: His transition to coaching at Magic United in Queensland and experiencing football in a completely different climate.

Whether you're looking for dressing room anecdotes or honest reflections on one of the most turbulent periods in the club's recent history, Charlie delivers incredible insight into what it truly meant to wear the green and white during this era.

Welcome back to another Mini Matchday Edition of The Gloverscast! With a grueling lunchtime kickoff looming this Saturday, we’re getting the inside track on our upcoming opponents, Gateshead FC, straight from the foot in the opposition camp.

To help us make sense of the Heed's incredibly chaotic summer, we are joined by Dave from the Heed Army Podcast. From boardroom drama to massive squad turnover, Dave walks us through a rollercoaster offseason and breaks down exactly what Yeovil Town can expect to see on the pitch.

• A Summer of Upheaval: Dave details the off-pitch turbulence at Gateshead, including delayed takeovers, severe budget constraints, and the managerial carousel that left fans reeling.
• The Mass Exodus: A candid look at the departure of key players and backroom staff, plus the lingering frustrations of missing out on major summer transfer targets.
• Fresh Faces: An introduction to the new, young talent brought in to patch the squad, featuring names like Jack Robinson, Kyle Ferguson, and loanee Tom Lavery.
• Tactical Breakdown: Despite the chaos, find out why Gateshead is still committed to a regimented, possession-heavy shape and a squad willing to run through brick walls.
• Match Expectations: Dave gives a realistic, if slightly pessimistic, prediction of how the Heed might fare against the Glovers after a brutal 700-mile round trip.

Whether you're braving the early start or following along from home, this episode gives you everything you need to know about the opposition before the referee blows the whistle.

Welcome to another edition of the Gloverscast's mini matchday episode, Foot in the Opposition Camp! This week, we are looking ahead to Yeovil Town's first match of the season at Huish Park against title favorites, Carlisle United.

To get the inside scoop on our upcoming opponents, we are joined by Lee from the Carlisle United podcast, the Brunton Bugle.

In This Episode, We Discuss:

• Opening Weekend Woes: A breakdown of Carlisle's 3-2 loss on the opening weekend, highlighting their wastefulness in front of goal during the first half and a confusing second-half drop-off following substitutions.
• Preseason Struggles & Injuries: How a stuttering preseason with only four full matches played has left the squad looking fatigued. We also discuss a growing injury list impacting key players like Feeney and Armstrong.
• Managerial Shifts: Thoughts on the managerial transition from Mark Hughes to Rob Elliot, including how the team is adapting to the new style of play he brought over from Gateshead.
• Tactical Tweaks & Player Highlights: An analysis of Elliot's tactical decisions, such as utilising left-back Cameron Harper in the midfield. A spotlight is also placed on the impressive attacking work rate, yet notable defensive vulnerabilities, of Archie Davies down the right side.
• Title Expectations: A candid conversation on whether Carlisle United can truly live up to their status as title favorites, amidst real concerns about their squad depth, defensive solidity, and the pressure to perform.

So we recorded this one early. It was out of date before I'd even cobbled it together. So, as you'll hear, we don't speak about the news that broke yesterday evening but we will, of course.

We did talk about the first match of the season at Huish Park though. Bring on Carlisle!

& Happy Birthday Dave!

• The Managerial Dynamic: Billy and Darren pull back the curtain on their day-to-day partnership, detailing how they divide training sessions, handle tough player conversations and if they ever disagree with one another...

• Summer Recruitment Strategy: With 15 new faces in the squad, the management team discusses the deliberate strategy behind the overhaul.
• Pre-Season Reflections: An honest assessment of the pre-season campaign. Billy and Darren discuss the physical demands, the challenge of embedding new tactical ideas, and the process of building team chemistry.
• Building Character: Why assembling a squad of players with high ambition, character, and a genuine desire to climb the leagues is just as important as technical ability on the pitch.

In this episode of The Glovers Past, Ben and Ollie sit down with a towering Huish Park fan favorite: former Yeovil Town centre-back Paul Huntington. Joining the club in 2010 after a frustrating, injury-hit spell at Leeds United, Paul reflects on how his two-year stint in Somerset revitalised his love for the game and got his career back on track.

From the initial culture shock of Huish Park's training facilities to earning the captain's armband in his early twenties, "Hunts" takes us on a nostalgic journey through a highly memorable League One era for the Green and Whites.
