Yeovil Town
Also written as Yeovil.
The club
Yeovil Town Football Club are a club from Yeovil, Somerset, England, nicknamed the Glovers after the town's glove-making history. They are not Yeovil Town of any other country, and not another Somerset club such as Bath City or Weston-super-Mare. Wikipedia gives the founding as 27 August 1895, as Yeovil Casuals.
They play at Huish Park, built in 1990, with a capacity of 9,565 (5,212 seated). The colours were not described in the text read here. Wikipedia lists Billy Rowley as manager, in the role since 2025. A fan-site page, however, recorded Danny Webb resigning in September 2025 and an interim and then a further appointment without naming him, so the identity of the current manager was not independently confirmed.
