I suppose you could look at it in that way but tbh it’s never been a proper “football town”. When I was younger and in Taunton more I watched them regularly in their very good Western League years. But even then in the pubs I went in it was always Somerset CCC that was talked about, even in winter. So I always thought it was a much bigger cricket town. I think they’ve been getting decent crowds in the NLS and of course a decent cup run helps. UTG! Taunton average just under 1,000 this season and last night's attendance was 2,347, with 300 from Yeovil. Incidentally our former player Michael Meaker is a coach at Taunton. Thanks for that. Which is about 3 times what it was about 4/5 years ago, approx. Not huge but a very good % increase. UTG!

Being a Tivvy follower, of course Taunton are our big rivals, but I wish them well. Yes big rivals esp in the Western League years. It was always Taunton and Tiverton and Martin Rogers was always a great manager at that level. And he’s still there, definitely a go-to man, a real club legend, imo. Still punching above their weight I think. Must be 25 years since I last went to Ladysmead to see one of the T v T matches. Happy memories. 👍 UTG! Indeed. I see Olly Mehew has gone from Yate Town to Tivvy. nonleague.today/news/details.php?news_id=13176
