Along with Plymouth Argyle, they are in a minority of English clubs to play in a largely green strip. Even so, for the 2003/2004 season they play mostly in white with green stripes.
They have spent almost all of its history outside of the Football League. The club, founded in 1890 as Yeovil Football Club, shared a ground for many years with the town's rugby club. In 1895 they became Yeovil Casuals and moved to play their home games at the Pen Mill Athletic Ground. The club became Yeovil Town in 1907, and in 1915 an amalgamation of Yeovil Town and Petters United led to a new club called Yeovil and Petters United. The merged club reverted to the name Yeovil Town in 1946.
Yeovil Town earned promotion to the Football League in 2003 by winning the Football Conference.
Their nickname is 'The Glovers', which comes from the town's history of glovemaking, an industry that was at its peak in Yeovil when the football team was formed.
Yeovil is a town in south Somerset, England, on the A30 and A37.
The town is in the Yeovil parliamentary constituency.
The town's main employer is Westland Helicopters, the proposed sale of which to the American Sikorski Fiat group in January 1986 led to a crisis in the then Thatcher government, and the resignation of Michael Heseltine as Defence Secretary.
A further to Yeovil chance came in the tenth minute as the visitors attacked with pace – Gall’s shot from the left side of the penalty area was fired across the face of goal and out for a goal kick.
Yeovil were bossing the game around though, and it came as no surprise that they took the lead in the 23rd minute, although it took a catastrophic defensive blunder by Rovers to gift them the lead.
Another Yeovil attack in the 28th minute fortunately was fired straight at Warrington from the edge of the area as the visitors looked to increase their lead.
