So other than pay us to come and watch Torquay, which judging by the fare they offered so far this season might not be such a bad idea the club is going to have to come up with some very clever marketing or else tuesdays 750 will become the norm.
So in the future at a very fair price of 9-50 I can watch the match in comfort and warmth, have a takeaway delivered plus beer at less than the £34 I paid for our tickets and thats not including half a tank I fuel I use with every visit, it is a no brainer.

Where did you see about the £20 for a month? The only options I can see when I log in are £9.50 for Boxing Day.

The monthly pass is only available to overseas subscribers.

Would we be able to access the overseas options using a VPN even if in the UK?

Bristows Bench sold out, 56 tickets left in the family stand, could we be on for a bigger crowd than Derby?

It looks like it. The Bench is sold out and just a handful of tickets available in the family stand. Anyone know how many Yeovil are bringing? I would assume at least 700 so should be around 5,000 today.

On the pitch I know this has been said a lot this season but this really is a must win. 4 points out of this double header and we give ourselves a chance of getting out of this mess. There can be no excuses today.

I’m going for a 3-2 win (ellis, Goodwin and Jarvis). Att 4980.

Yeovil don’t concede many, but we seem to be scoring a few. 2-1 win

4780 (560 away)

Interestingly, Yeovil haven’t conceded more than 1 goal in their last 8, make of that what you will! Oldham have to play Notts twice, and Maidstone are at Dagenham, so the incentive is there to go out and get a result today. Up the gulls

Sounds like an organised defence we have to break down. We need to start fast, win the battles. We need effort, passion and commitment from all
from the very 1st whistle. Sincerely hope each and everyone are on there game......We need to be.
COYY....This is MASSIVE

Win the midfield battle, win the game. Sadly my main area of concern for me.

I will accept what we have in defence and attack, enough to stay in the league, but sadly we are second to everything through the middle. This needs urgently addressing.

Yeovil have scored 17 goals all season in the League.

A tight battle but I am going 2 1 to the Gulls.

James Durkin as ref in for a long afternoon

Aren't we all.

Crap kit, crap opponents. Still can't complain one nil up.

Two very poor sides in a match devoid of any quality. We're going down on that evidence.

Completely deflated by that performance today. First half we were pretty decent and could have been more than 1 up at half time. Yeovil offered very little and we had a few good chances.

Second half however was a complete shambles. Their 2 subs and change of formation completely destroyed us as we gave away chance after chance. We were lucky to get a point. The most frustrating thing was there was no reaction from the management to Yeovil’s changes. The goal we conceded was so inept from a defensive point of view. The players and GJ moaned at the ref at the end and whilst the ref wasn’t great it wasn’t him that cost us the points.

I see no way out of this mess. I have to say also the subs that came on offered nothing. Corrie Andrews is clearly overweight and doesn’t look fit enough.
