13 wins and its gone unnoticed ----

My local team Yeovil Town have won 13 on the trot 9 in the National League South and 4 in the FA Cup. Incredible at any level, the standard of the NL even level 6 is pretty good, teams are fitter, well coached, many players have been at EFL clubs some have played in PL U18s / 21S teams. Yeovil are full time, their fans still talk about the Kasper injury time goal for the 1-1 at the KP in 2014 in their one season in the Championship. They beat Brentford in the 2013 Div 1 play off final, hard to believe now but the Glovers are on the way back
 
One of the times we played there was a Monday night.

Saturday I was in the San Siro for AC Milan v Fiorentina.

Sumday I took the train to Genoa for Sampdoria v Palermo at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris.

Monday a mate picked me up from the airport and drove down to Huish Park for our game there.
 
I have seen hundreds of games over the decades, mostly Leicester but I have seen loads of Chesterfield games from when I lived in that area and quite a few at Bristol City when I lived at Weston Super Mare but I must saw the Yeovil fans are the friendliest lot, a real family club, never any of the tribal moronic stuff I have seen so many times everywhere else. The population of the town is below 50,000 and it seems like the town is really behind the team. Love it.
