Yeovil host the unbeaten leaders with the best goal difference of the clubs on 28 points

Wednesday 11 November 2026 · By Jon Haverstock

Yeovil Town host unbeaten leaders Boreham Wood on Saturday in the outstanding fixture of the resumed league programme, and they do so with the best goal difference of the three clubs on 28 points. Billy Rowley’s side are fifth, ahead of Worthing and Altrincham on plus 15 to plus 7 and zero. They have scored 35 league goals, the third-most in the division, behind only Boreham Wood’s 44 and Southend United’s 38.

Wood arrive 12 points clear of second-placed Harrogate Town and 15 ahead of third-placed Southend, unbeaten after 16 matches with 14 wins and two draws. A home point, or better, would not close that gap on its own, but it would reinforce Yeovil’s claim on a play-off place in a tight cluster from third to seventh. No league game has been played since 31 October, so Saturday is the first league examination since the cup weekend.

Yeovil themselves went out of the FA Cup on 7 November, beaten 4–3 at Chesterfield, for whom a late winner completed the comeback after Yeovil had made a game of it. That result has no bearing on the table. A club away guide published on 9 November concerned Wells City and is not a National League fixture.

After Wood, Yeovil host Forest Green Rovers at 5.30pm on 21 November, visit Eastleigh at 7.45pm on Tuesday 24 November, and host Hartlepool United on 5 December. Forest Green have played only 14 league matches, the fewest in the division, and will still be without a date for their postponed game at Woking when they make that visit.

The automatic promotion place is already some distance away, but second to seventh will go into the play-offs, and the four-point spread from Southend on 29 to Yeovil, Worthing and Altrincham on 28 underlines how little room there is for error. Carlisle United, two points outside the top seven, will be watching those results as closely as anyone.

The BBC table, last updated at 11:13 on 9 November, still shows Yeovil Town 5th on 28 points from 16 matches, with a record of 8 wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats. They have scored 35 and conceded 20, for a goal difference of plus 15. Those numbers have not changed since 31 October, because no National League fixture has been played in this window. The FA Cup, National League Cup and county cups do not count in the standings. Yeovil Town occupy a play-off place.

The next league round is on Saturday 14 November, not an FA Trophy weekend. The scheduled matches are Carlisle against Boston, Eastleigh against Fylde, Gateshead against Barrow, Harrogate against Altrincham, Hartlepool against Wealdstone, Hornchurch against Tamworth, Kidderminster against Halifax, Scunthorpe against Worthing, Southend against Aldershot, Sutton against Solihull, and Yeovil against Boreham Wood. Woking against Forest Green, originally listed for that afternoon, is still postponed, with no new date announced. Gateshead against Tamworth also remains without a date.

Huish Park

Colour plan of Huish Park (not a surveyed drawing). North is at the top. Goals sit in front of the two end terraces.

Huish Park has been home to Yeovil Town since August 1990, when the Glovers left the old sloped pitch at Huish for a purpose-built ground on the Houndstone side of town. The address is Lufton Way, Yeovil, BA22 8YF. Capacity is 9,565, of which 5,212 are seats. Two covered, cantilevered stands run the length of the pitch; terraces sit behind each goal. For visiting supporters it is a compact, easy-to-read ground, though the away end is open to the weather.

Away fans are usually placed in the north terrace, still widely called the Copse Road or Radio Cabs end. It is smaller than the home terrace opposite and has no roof. A large electronic scoreboard sits behind it. Typical standing allocation is around 1,500. For bigger followings the club often opens blocks towards the north end of the Screwfix Community Stand (east side) as well, which gives you cover. If your club has only a small travelling party you may be seated entirely in that east stand and the terrace closed. Check your ticket before you travel.

The south end is the Thatchers Gold Stand, a covered home terrace with windshields. Opposite the Screwfix Stand is the Main Stand on the west side. That is where you will find the players’ tunnel, dugouts, executive boxes, ticket office and club shop. Snack bars operate in both side stands and at both terraces. Programmes are sold around the ground. Segregation is in force for league matches, so do not assume you can wander between ends.

By car, follow the brown stadium signs. At the Asda roundabout on Western Avenue / Lufton Way, visiting cars and coaches are sent along Lufton Way. On-site parking is commonly around £3; it fills on bigger days and can be slow to leave. The ground is about two miles from the town centre. Yeovil Junction is the mainline station; a taxi is the simplest last hop if you are not driving.

Dress for Somerset weather. The away terrace has no shelter, and the ground sits on the north-western edge of town with little to break the wind. Views from the terrace are unobstructed. A seat in the Screwfix Stand, if you have one, is the better option when rain sets in.

Food inside is standard matchday fare: pies, pasties, burgers and hot drinks. Alcohol arrangements vary. A hospitality marquee near the Main Stand and home terrace is often open to both sets of fans, but derbies can make it home-only. If you want a pint before kick-off, use a pub in town rather than relying on the ground.

The club shop and ticket office sit with the Main Stand. Buy tickets in advance where you can. Disabled supporters should contact the ticket office if an accessible seat is not already in the allocation. Leave extra time after full time if you parked on site. North terrace for standing away fans, east stand for covered away seats, west stand for the tunnel and shop, south terrace for the home support.
