Previous Highlights
There have been very few matches between the two clubs. Our first three meetings were in the FA Cup. The first, in 1965 saw us win 2-1, whilst seven years later we lost 1-2.
However we met again in 1990 and goals from Gary Blissett, Dean Holdsworth (2), Eddie May and Keith Jones gave us an emphatic 5-0 win in the First Round.
Ground
Huish Park was built in 1990 and enable Yeovil to move from Huish and the famous sloping pitch which had claimed some memorable Cup scalps (including us in 1972!). It has a current capacity of just under 10,000.
Attendances
Their average League attendance last season was 4,423 with a high of 6,580 against Leeds United in August, and a low of 3,275 against Scunthorpe in January.
Mileage
Yeovil, 121 miles from Brentford, is the eleventh longest journey for Bees fans this season almost equidistant with Norwich. We travel to Yeovil on Saturday 26th September and play host to them on Saturday 24th April.
The Supporters Association will be running coaches to every Brentford League away game this season. Reservations can be made at home matches or by calling 020 8941 0425.
BET365 Odds to win League One
At 80/1, Yeovil, together with Stockport County are rated as the rank outsiders for League One success this coming season.
