Yeovil ROLL CALL

[Giraffe]

I'm taking the family away for a few days after Christmas, staying in Frome, just a short car drive from Yeovil. So we will all be there.

Three of us coming - but I did say I was going to Swindon

Yeovil ground is about 1 mile or so away from the A303 very easy to find but if you use that road beware there are loads of speed cameras.

I like going to YEOVIL

To be fair, the M5 is probably as close to Yeovil as the M23 is to Brighton.

I just hope I don't get ATTACKED by a giant man-eating MOTH like last time.

with a bit of luck i can pick up my chrissy pressie from you at the game

Thinking of going, depending how bored I get over xmas

Whats parking like around huish park? I note the ground is miles away from the train station.

Very easy to park there and also a Beefeater pub within walking distance for some grub and they will let you park there about 10 mins walk.

Sweet

See my thread in away travel, I'm either gonna be offering a lift or wanting a seat!

 

[Hiney]

but at least the m23 runs straight into the a23

last time we went to yeovil, it was a single lane road for the majority of the journey - get stuck behind a tractor and it can turn into a DISASTER

You went the WRONG way then.

The A303 is the way forward.

 

[Statto]

going by car

Ditto. Two car loads of us going.

 

[Hiney]

We went via a day in Bournemouth last time, so you're right, we were heading totally the wrong way. Sounds like the A303 is the way to go this time though. Also sounds like it might have more than one lane!

Yes, it has!!

We left at 3.30 from Southampton last time for a 7.45 kick-off, thinking we would hit traffic.

We walked into the pub at just after 5

Happy days

Sorry to be so lazy here, but what time would you/anyone suggest leaving Brighton? I looked online, and it told me it would take 3.5 hours, which I just cannot believe. SURELY it's a shorter journey than that?

Depends what way its sending you.

Im going to Lyme regis on Boxing day and that said 3hrs and its pretty much due south from Yeovil.

 

[Zesh Rehman]

ill be there one way or another, hopefully

That doesn't seem right at all, we drove reasonably near to Yeovil on the way to Torquay, and I think it was only about halfway through our 4hr drive...

 

[BensGrandad]

Last time I went there in my old Sherpa Campervan , top speed 60mph, and it took me 2 hours after I dropped one of my grandsons off in Guildford. Most of the A303 is dual carriageway, there is some single but mostly dual.

If going via A303 turn off at overnight stopping /picnic area just north of Yeovil and turn left towards the town and it is signposted on the roundabouts.

 

[dougdeep]

I'd allow 3 at the most, it's well signposted.

I just hope I don't get ATTACKED by a giant man-eating MOTH like last time.

I remember that Hiney....what the f**k was that thing? I saw it again on my way out and I managed to get a snapshot of it:
