I thought I would post a picture, but all their forums seem to have died over the last 10 years

Cannot see anyone wanting to buy them now, and if no one does I can see them struggling again and maybe going down again.
I think that if Notts County go down a certain DC maybe tempted. good stadium; training ground, what else does he need?

Just goes to show. It's a job. Only the fans have any passion

Who's arse do you think the kid in the glasses is staring at? Looks impressed, either way...

TBF. They still have a life outside of football. It does not seem that they were running riot like some of the Premier League prima donnas do. It really gets in my craw that fans will boast about seeing such and such a player in a pub/bar and having a chinwag. Yet, sometimes those same fans will scream blue murder if the results are not good. Alfie Biggs was a fixture in the Eastville Club and even though he would advise younger players to get an early night, he would be hitting the night spots available in Bristol during his time. It never did him any harm and it was considered that he could run most of his team mates into the ground at training sessions. Yeovil had already been relegated. It would not matter one jot if the staff concerned got legless on Saturday night. Nothing would change their fate. Leaving the baron and the 1950's out of it for a minute (come on, you must know that players were seriously unfit compared to today...) there are 365 days in a year and these idiots chose the day the club they played for was relegated for the third time in 5 seasons, to go out on the town, before some fans would have even got home from the match. If that's the sort of players you want then wave goodbye to any success at a small club like ours because baring a multi millionaire owner spending money (& spending wisely) a small club still has to rely on the characters of players rather than just their talent. Some of them were loanees, which has been one of Yeovil's great successes and greater failures at a club that is clearly rotten to the core. There were allegations of similar behaviour a week previous. The interim mgr is due to be Director of Football under the new owner (IF that goes ahead) and there are clearly vested interests at stake there. Rotten. Absolutely rotten. The poor attitude of players and staff, including Darren Way's head in the sand stance when he was manager were clear long before relegation. My opinion is that the night out is irrelevant, you feel it matters. We will have to agree to differ.

Think your talking nonsense TBH, as if your not upset by the team you play for getting relegated out of the EFL then makes you wonder why you bother playing football and not just get a 9 to 5 job.

So because my opinion differs to yours, it is nonsense? Where is the relevance to a 9-5 job, btw? Being a professional footballer is a job.

Yeovil were relegated way before their night out in Taunton. It had no relevance to their final position, Darren Way should have gone long ago and the writing has been on the wall for their final demise for the last few years. They went for a Saturday night out after a football match which for footballers is hardly stunning news. I think it was pretty thoughtless of the players to go on social media with pictures of themselves looking as if they’re having a good time in the circumstances but they are footballers who aren’t known for their tact, intelligence or consideration of what the implications might be. Hardly unusual behaviour for a group of footballers. But it had no relevance to Yeovil’s season and the fans reaction, understandable though it is, is more about frustration and I’m sure most Rovers fans can understand that. I think MMs point about loanees is relevant because they will go back to their clubs and go elsewhere next season and as we’ve seen this season when you’re fighting relegation you need strong characters who will roll their sleeves up and battle. I’m sure I read or heard that the average age of the Yeovil team on Saturday was 22, the lowest in the EFL. Perhaps had they been more experienced it wouldn’t have happened. But whatever, it had little bearing on their ultimate fate. UTG!

I know a couple of Yeovil fans and as much as the football was terrible they had a degree of empathy for DW as he had next to no budget, his best players were sold from underneath him and he got nothing of the transfer fee and he had to rely on kids on loan to get a squad together.
Yeovil as a club have reaped what they have sown. You have to wonder where all the money went from their rise to the championship and from their season in it. They have been awful ever since.
