WHAT IS IT LIKE FOR VISITING SUPPORTERS?
Away fans are mostly situated in the Radio Cabs Stand at one end of the ground. This is an uncovered terrace, so hope for a dry day. Up to 1,500 supporters can be housed in this area. Additionally, around 600 seats are allocated to visiting fans in the Screwfix Community Stand, along one side of the pitch, which is covered.
Normally a visit to Huish Park is enjoyable, and the atmosphere is good, although the open terrace makes it hard for away fans to generate some noise. The atmosphere is boosted by a very vocal crowd on the home terrace as well as the presence of a drummer and trumpeter at that end (on my last visit the trumpeter was even imitating an ambulance siren as the trainer ran on to treat an injured player!). If Yeovil scores then ‘Glad All Over’ by the Dave Clark Five blasts out around the stadium.
Food on offer inside includes Pasties (meat or vegetable £3.20), a range of pies; Chicken Curry, Chicken & Mushroom, Steak & Kidney (all £3.20), Hot Dogs (£3.20) and Sausage Rolls (£2.20).
On my last visit, I was five minutes late getting to the game and missed the kickoff. Unbelievably the turnstiles had already closed at the away end. I and several other away fans had to run around the ground to try and find someone who could get us in. We managed this, and I have to say that the stewards were particularly helpful and friendly. I found the large police presence in and around the ground perturbing. In my mind, it was not a high-profile game, so I was somewhat surprised at the amount of local constabulary there
WHAT IS THE STADIUM LIKE?
Huish Park is a tidy-looking ground located in a pleasant setting, with lots of trees visible behind the stands. Both sides of the ground are similar-looking stands and are of the same height. They are both cantilevered, covered single-tiered stands that are all seated. Each stand has windshields on either side. The only difference between these stands is that the Tamburino Stand has some executive boxes running across the back of it, plus the dugouts and players tunnel, whilst the Screwfix Community Stand has a press box suspended from beneath its roof and a small-looking electric scoreboard. At one end is the medium-sized Thatchers Gold Stand Terrace, which is covered for home supporters and again has windshields to either side. Opposite is the Radio Cabs (Copse Road) Terrace, which is given to away fans. This is smaller and uncovered. Oddly the steelwork is in place at the back of this stand to incorporate more terrace space, but the concrete rows have so far not been added. Perched above the rear of this stand is a large electric scoreboard. The ground is completed with a set of four modern floodlight pylons, one in each corner of the ground.

DIRECTIONS AND CAR PARKING
Huish Park is located on the very outskirts of Yeovil and is signposted from the A303. Leave the A303 at the Cartgate roundabout and take the A3088 towards Yeovil. Follow the road for around four miles until you reach a roundabout on the outskirts of Yeovil with the Westlands Airfield directly in front of you. Turn left at this roundabout and then continue straight on, crossing several roundabouts. As you pass the entrance to an Asda superstore, take the next left for the ground, which can be seen from the road.
There is a fair sized car park at the ground (located behind the away end) which costs £3. However as can be expected, it can take quite some time after the game has ended to exit. Otherwise, there is plenty of street car parking to be had on the roads leading down to the ground. Tim Porter a visiting Torquay United fan informs me; ‘make sure you arrive at the official car park, early in winter as you may end up in the overspilled car park, which is a field which doesn’t drain nearly as well as the pitch!’ Richard Reardon adds; ‘Getting away from the ground was a bit of a nightmare as there is only one road out of the official car park. It took 35 minutes to travel the half mile to the Preston Road roundabout’. There is also the option of renting a private driveway near in the local area via YourParkingSpace.co.uk.

BY TRAIN
Yeovil has two railway stations; Yeovil Junction and Pen Mill Junction. Both of these stations are located quite a distance from Huish Park, with Pen Mill Junction just under three miles away and Yeovil Junction almost five miles away. From both stations, it is advised to get a taxi to the stadium or if you arrive at Yeovil Junction, then you can catch the ‘Hopper’ minibus at the bus station in the town centre. I have been informed that for night games taxis can be scarce at Yeovil Junction, so if you intend to go by taxi to the ground it may be an idea to look up the number of a local taxi firm and pre-book one.
John Midgley a visiting Huddersfield Town fan adds; ‘Bus No.68 runs from both Yeovil Junction & Yeovil Pen Mill stations to the town centre. You can then take the regular First Traveller No.1 service (every 15 minutes), which drops you near the stadium at the Abbey Manor Park Housing Estate. The No.68 connects with the No.1 at the Lloyds TSB Bank, located on the town centre High Street (make sure you catch the No.1 with ‘Abbey Manor Park’ on the front). Just a few yards away from this changing point is the Mermaid pub which I can recommend for excellent food and beer. Anybody coming in by rail can buy a “Plus Bus” ticket with their rail ticket for an additional £2.80 which is valid on both the 68 and 1 services. For bus timetables see the First Group website.
