Yeovil Town

Huish Park opened in 1990 as a replacement for Yeovil Town’s previous home, Huish Athletic Ground. In fact, negotiations over the sale of their former stadium began as early as 1985, with said negotiations dragging on for years as both parties involved tried to get the best possible deal for themselves. In the end the deal went through and the club moved to their new stadium in Houndstone in time for a friendly against Newcastle United on the 4th of August 1990. As well as Yeovil Town games, Huish Park has also been used to host Yeovil Town’s Women’s team’s matches. On numerous occasions it has also hosted international games for both England’s men’s and women’s teams. England Under-18s, Under16s and Schools teams have all played at the Huish Park site since 1991. The record attendance at the ground was 9,527, achieved when Leeds United turned up in Yeovil for a League One game in 2008.
