Never too high, never too low. Nothing to celebrate yet. Yeovil are going up. We aren't going anywhere unless we win the play offs. Require third place as a minimum.

I do agree, however there are always moments in life where it's valuable to enjoy the little things and this is certainly one of them! Also, unrelated but if I'm not mistaken, wasn't Mark Cooper once Arran Racines manager when at Forrest Green in 2016? π master defeated by apprentice.

And I think the manager of Dartford used to be his manager at FG as well. That would have been Aarranβs first game in charge and he really fancied that one. Not going to repeat what he said about Pennick playing style.

Regarding Yeovil's "equaliser", it was an excellent decision by the assistant referee. I managed to freeze the highlights at the point that the ball is played forward, and Murphy (no. 39) is clearly in an offside position, goal-side of Joel. The assistant put his flag up immediately Murphy touched the ball. Click on attachment to enlarge. Attachments:

Great work Paul π Stick that in yer pipe and smoke it Mark Cooper π€« The same freeze frame can't be done for their goal that was given because the angle is too great, it happened in the six yard box. But I swear their scorer is ahead our defenders when he jumps π€

Unfortunately not, as attendances were only regularly reported from about 30 years ago. Needless to say, it would not have been a home match (the highest home attendance being 3690 v Wimbledon in 1936). The highest reported crowd I have found is 6000, for the 1921-22 Senior Cup final v Eastbourne at the Dripping Pan, although that sounds like an estimate. 6000 was also the reported crowd for our FA Cup match at the Goldstone v Brighton in 1932, but the Albion's website shows this as 5952. For comparison, there were 5430 at the Manor Ground when we played Oxford United in the FA Cup in 1982. I suspect that the highest crowd might have come in the late 1940s/early 1950s in the Corinthian League, or possibly in the Athenian League Premier Division in the mid-1960s. Some of our opponents in those leagues had particularly large grounds, especially those in the greater London area (e.g. Southall, Dagenham, Walton & Hersham). Failing that, it could be at somewhere like the Pilot Field in the 1920s, as Hastings were well-supported, and there seems to have been a boom in crowd numbers in the post-WW1 period. Firstly, the crowd yesterday of 6034 the largest to watch a Worthing match in over 50 years (and therefore the largest attendance I've been in to watch us play). A far cry from 8 years ago, to the day, when 152 saw us win 1-0 at South Park! Secondly, the Yeovil programme mentioned our FA Cup tie at the old, slopy, Huish ground in 1936-37. In 1982-83, when we next reached the FA Cup first round, the Worthing Herald printed an extract from its 1936 report, which said that the crowd was "almost 5000"; but yesterday's programme said it was "over 7000". Initially I thought that the latter figure might have grown with the retelling, as did our attendance in the FA Amateur Cup quarter-final in 1908 (which was reported as "over 3100" at the time, but which had increased to 5000 by the 1980s). But it is usually significant moments in a club's history that get exaggerated and, to be brutally honest, Yeovil beating us in 1936 was no big deal for them. That 1936 Herald report stated that the Yeovil ground was "cramped", so I dug out an article about the Huish ground to see what sort of crowds they were getting at that time, and two seasons previously there had been 11180 at the Huish to watch Yeovil lose to Liverpool in the FA Cup; so I can't see that 5000 (or 7000) would have been cramped. I realise that none of this answers the original question, but thought I'd give another excuse for not knowing the answer! A final note: that article about the Huish states that the record attendance was when they knocked Sunderland out of the FA Cup in 1949, and it was either 16318 or 17501, depending on what source you use...

152 at South Park, (I was there), 143 Rebels travelled all the way to Yeovil, what a difference a decade makes!

Whenever I go on these away trips I'm always on the look-out for unusual place-names, and the West Country seems full of them. I spotted a particularly exotic-sounding one on the A37 just south of Yeovil - somewhere called Ryme Intrinseca.

Our road northeast out of Yeovil back up to the A303 on Sunday took us through Queen Camel (just to the east of the more mundane West Camel)
