Yeovil away

for those going by train just found this online

By Train
Yeovil has two railway stations; Yeovil Junction and Pen Mill Junction. Both of these stations are located quite a distance from the ground, with Pen Mill Junction just under three miles away and Yeovil Junction almost five miles away. From both stations it is advised to get a taxi to the stadium or alternatively if you arrive at Yeovil Junction, then you can catch the ‘Hopper’ minibus to the bus station in the town centre. I have been informed that for night games taxis can be scarce at Yeovil Junction, so if you intend going by taxi to the ground it may be an idea to look up the number of a local taxi firm and pre-book one.
John Midgley a visiting Huddersfield Town fan adds; 'Bus No.68 runs from both Yeovil Junction & Yeovil Pen Mill stations to the town centre. You can then take the regular First Traveller No.1 service (every 15 minutes), which drops you near the stadium at the Abbey Manor Park Housing Estate. The No.68 connects with the No.1 at the Lloyds TSB Bank, located on the town centre High Street (make sure you catch the No.1 with 'Abbey Manor Park' on the front). Just a few yards away from this changing point is the Mermaid pub which I can recommend for excellent food and beer. Anybody coming in by rail can buy a "Plus Bus" ticket with their rail ticket for an additional £2.80 which is valid on both the 68 and 1 services'. For bus timetables see the First Traveller website.

Lived in Yeovil for a couple of years when I was based at RNAS Yeovilton about 10yr ago I lived right by where there old ground was located in the center of town,the old ground is now Tesco and my Local called the Westminster is right by it, its pretty decent sold rough cider on the bar aswell as sparkling ie Thatchers Gold etc pretty friendly.Im pretty sure the ARROW On the Abby Manor estate(very nice estate) is the closest pub to the ground or the BELL on the Preston rd which is a Hungry Horse pub so pretty **** but large has good parking child friendly too,In town its self there's a Chicago rock cafe and a Spoons,pizza Express,ASK couple of decent free houses the MERMAID,the ARMOURY,the GREYHOUND an Irish bar by pizza express but I cant for the life of me remember its name oh and the Manor House/Hotel? which is a bit more up market infact I think it is actually a hotel Yeovils alright but if you wanna make a weekend of it i'd go to Weymouth far better night out!!

I was in the arrow watching the QPR Bolton game. Nice pub and pretty cheap but it was packed full of Yeovil fans before their game with Derby.

Remember it well, one of ours got bottled or glassed and came wandering in during the second half with staples down his face, a right proper mess

Aint there any QPR coaches going there ? (and dont say Jordon ! )

[Harps 55]

going with the LSA

[dsqpr]

got my ticket Tuesday, one per ST holder, friend phoned today and was informed it was sold out. Why don't they update the ticket information on the Official web-site. Might be me being cynical but nothing to do with the premium rate to give them a buzz is it?

Thanks for the "heads up" on the sell-out lyme.
