Yeovil Town – Huish Park

huish-park

Huish Park has a capacity of 9,665, with seating for 5,212. It is the home ground of Yeovil Town FC.

The stadium is in the suburbs of Yeovil and was built as a replacement for the former non-league club’s previous ground, The Huish, in 1990.

The ground has two seated stands (the Cowlin Stand and the Agusta Westland Community Stand) and two separate standing areas (the Blackthorn Stand and Copse Road Terrace, the latter being the away stand). The away end is uncovered, so be prepared to get very wet if it rains!

There is a decent-sized car park at the ground. Otherwise, there is plenty of street parking available on the roads near the ground. Early arrival is advised in the winter, as the overspill car park is a field which does not drain terribly well!

The Arrow is a spacious pub that is frequented predominantly by home supporters, though away supporters report a friendly welcome. From the Huish Park car park, walk back past the ground and turn right at the end of Lufton Way. At the end of this road, turn left onto the main road and take the first right. Go straight down this road through the residential area. After about 10 minutes, there is a clearing on your right with shops beyond and the Arrow pub in the middle.

The Bell, on Preston Road, towards the town centre, is a very large pub which offers a friendly welcome and serves excellent food. There is plenty of seating outside, which is very pleasant in good weather.

The open Copse Road terrace is reported as “appalling” in bad weather, with visiting fans recommending the limited seats available in the covered AgustaWestland Community Stand.
