Capital Glovers off to Wales!
Date added: 14/07/2008
The first away game of the new season is nearly upon us!
And what a game it is too, with the fixture planning God's pairing us with our long-lost enemies from non-league days of yore, Hereford. This will be our first league and therefore 'serious' encounter for a number of seasons (…we are of course discounting last season's shocking Mickey Mouse Cup defeat at Edgar Street!) so a number of Capital Glovers will be making the trip, scheduled for Saturday, August 16th.
The best and cheapest routes we have found via the Rail Network are on First Western Trains departing from London Paddington, with a change in Newport, Gwent. That's ACTUAL Wales, unlike the running gag citing Hereford itself across the border. Anyway, we will be travelling on a service leaving at 08.18am and returning at 18.11pm. We plan to take in a couple of the town's finer drinking establishments (if any exist) pre-match and will be reuniting with other exiles and fans based closer to home en route.
Feel free to join us but book your train travel now whilst advance fares are still available!

Into the Valley!
Date added: 13/07/2008
With Yeovil Town drawn away at Charlton Athletic in the first round of this coming season’s League Cup, the tie to be played on Tuesday, 12th August the Capital Glovers have planned a pre-match pub crawl. All are welcome to join us either from the start, or at any point along the way before we hopefully form a large contingent and enter the Valley’s away end once joined by those who are unable to leave work early.
Information and timings provided by our resident Real Ale AND local resident, Steve Whale:
2.30pm: Ashburnham Arms - close to Greenwich BR and DLR Station.
3.20pm: Richard I.
4.10pm: Greenwich Union
5.00pm: Cutty Sark Tavern.
5.50: Plume of Feathers - close to Maze Hill BR Station.
From this last pick-up point we will make the short journey from Maze Hill BR to Charlton BR Station and hopefully witness another legendary performance from a Yeovil Team side in cup competition at the Valley. We all remember the FA Cup fixture during the 2004/05 season that we so narrowly lost; will this be revenge for the Glovers? Match tickets are priced at a mere £10.
Need any more information on the Pub Crawl or meeting us en route, please get in touch.

Bilbao Revisited
Date added: 12/07/2008
News has reached us that Basque Primera Liga (sleeping?) giants Athletic Bilbao are planning to tour the UK as part of their pre-season preparations for what will be a record 90th consecutive year in Spain’s top flight – something only matched by Real Madrid and Barcelona.
You may remember that the Capital Glovers adopted Bilbao as our favourite overseas team and indeed, nine of us formed a visiting party on our first European trip which took in a Primera Liga fixture against Real Madrid in December 2007 .
Athletic will be playing two fixtures in the region, firstly at the Valley against their Charlton counterparts on Saturday, August 2nd and secondly, as the opposition in Colchester United’s second curtain raiser at their new Weston Homes Community Stadium (groan!) on Monday, August 4th.
With tickets set at a very reasonable £10, the game at Charlton will see a few of us take up the opportunity to reacquaint ourselves with the Valley, and current Charlton squad ahead of Yeovil’s own forthcoming League Cup Clash.
A second trip may take in Athletic’s game against Colchester but with this clashing with Somerset’s day/night game at Lord’s on the same day; we might leave that decision until we’ve seen the weather forecast!
Interested in either game? Let us know.

Anyone for Cricket?
Date added: 11/07/2008
After our previous two successful trips to watch Somerset’s county cricketers we thought we’d have another look at the fixture list for the current summer season and we’ve come up with two enticing looking day’s out.
The first falls on Sunday, 20th July at the picturesque Arundel ground, used by Sussex once or twice a season. The match is part of the one-day Pro40 tournament which last season saw Somerset gain promotion to Division 1. Come join us to see whether Langer and Capital Glover cult favourite, Pete 'the Pirate’ Trego can continue this good form.
With the match starting at 13.00pm it gives us ample time to make the 1.5hr journey down from London Victoria station and walk up through the historic town centre to the ground. Who knows, we may even take in a couple of drinks breaks along the way! Resident Capital Glover Real-Ale expert Steve Whale recommends The Kings Arms as a suitable point to break up the walk. Feel free to join us there, or maybe at the ground itself. Directions for which can be found here.
We will look to leave London Victoria on the 10.04am service, with an arrival time of 11.32am. Please email us at the address below to arrange discount group tickets etc.
The second match we will be attending is much closer to home and takes place at the Home of Cricket, Lords on Monday, 4th August. This tie sees Somerset take on Middlesex in a day/night Pro40 match starting at 16.30pm. If you can knock-off early we may well plan an earlier meeting, otherwise the official Capital Glover meeting point will be St John’s Wood Underground Station at 16.00pm. Again email us for more details:

Potters Bar Town - Pre-Season Starts Here!
Date added: 10/07/2008
Yeovil Town are back in action with a bang (well, a warm-pop at least!) playing their first pre-season friendly away to Potters Bar Town on Thursday, 17th July. Despite promising the non-league club this friendly on the back of securing the services of young Left-Back, and star player in-waiting, Nathan Smith, Yeovil have moved the date of this fixture date 3 times.
Hopefully this is the last change though, and with Potters Bar being but a small stone's throw away from Central London this is an ideal opportunity to have an early peek at how the squad is developing, along with some first-hand experience of viewing the various trialists that will be turning out in the green n' white. Helpfully, the Potter's Bar Town ground is a simple 10 minutes walk from the station.
Regular overground rail services head to Potters Bar direct from both London King's Cross and Moorgate BR stations. The preferable options run from Kings Cross with a journey time varying from a mere 15 minutes to a leisurely 21 minutes, with trains leaving twice an hour. Further services depart from Moorgate but have a slightly longer journey time of approximately 30-35 minutes.
The Capital Glovers will be looking to pull off a few half-day finishes in order to fully prepare for this encounter - we need our pre-season training too you know! We plan to meet at the Wenlok Arms, in the Old Street Area from 2.30pm before moving on to pubs around the major stations. Link to pub below:
Wenlock Arms
Feel free to join up with us at some point en route, or at the ground itself if you can’t ensure the afternoon off work! If you require any further information, please email

Whyteleafe -v- Tooting & Mitcham 8th March
Date added: 03/03/2008
On Saturday 8th March a group of Capital Glovers will be attending the match between Whyteleafe and Tooting at Church Road, Whyteleafe k.o 3.00pm.
At one of the first Capital Glovers meetings it was decided that we would follow a team in Green and White, from 'junior' football - that team being Whyteleafe. This will be our first trip to see 'the leafe' and we would welcome any Yeovil supporters to join us.
We will be meeting at 12.30 in the Market Porter, departing at about 1.30 from London Bridge Station. The journey is approx 40 minutes by train (cost about £6 return), followed by a short walk. Whyteleafe have a tidy stadium with social club bar attached. They also have a section of seating brought from the Huish and number Alan Pardew amongst their former players.
Please feel free to contact via email link below, so that we can guage interest. We may be able to reduce train cost through a group ticket.

Southend on Saturday
Date added: 10/01/2008
Those intending to travel to Southend this Saturday should check out the train situation before setting out. See the match travel page for details.
The Capital Glovers football team are playing a 7-a-side match against the 'All At Sea' Southend fanzine team at 10:30am, so two alternate train for you to join us on are suggested.
2nd 5-a-side team to launch in February
Date added: 10/01/2008
Due to the immense popularity of the Capital Glovers 5-a-side we are launching a second team to satisify the demand. Both teams will play on Wednesday nights at the Liverpool Street Powerleague venue.
We also have some further 11-a-side games arranged following the success (if you exclude the score!) of our first match against a Dagenham team before the Leyton Orient match in December.
The Capital Glovers team are also planning to embark on a Spanish 'pre-season tour' in August.
If you'd like to join any of our sides email us at info@capitalglovers.com. You'll be very welcome.
Three things of Orient are...
Date added: 18/12/2007
1. 11-a-side versus Dagenham and Redbridge Supporters Team
2. Pre-match gathering
3. Post-match gathering
Orient day - part 1
The final match before Christmas brings Yeovil back to London for the away match against Leyton Orient. The first event of the day is the Capital Glovers' inaugural 11-a-side fixture, against a supporters team from Dagenham and Redbridge.
The match takes place on grass pitch at Redbridge Sport Centre, which is located adjacent to Fairlop tube station on the Central line (www.rslonline.co.uk/location.html). Kick off is at 10am. We'd love it if some of you can turn up to cheers us on - you'll get an invite to the post-match BBQ too! If you're interested in playing either 5-a-side or 11-a-side football for the Capital Glovers in 2008 drop us an email at info@capitalglovers.com - all are welcome and we're a very friendly bunch.
Orient day - part 2
Following the supporters' match the Capital Glovers team and fans will be heading to Leyton for a Christmas BBQ at a secret house in the shadows of the ground for a Christmas BBQ.
The more leisurely Capital Glovers will be heading to the alternatve pre-match venue of the Birkbeck Tavern, as endorsed by Ciderspace, at around 12pm. Here's the Ciderspace description of this real ale emporium:
"It's about ten minutes from the ground, and especially convenient if you've come by tube, this is one of the best pubs in the area; and if you want any decent cider is the place to make for. As you exit Leyton tube turn left away from the ground. Follow the path for 20 yards and there is a gap in the railings with steps leading down to the road below. At the bottom of the steps turn left and follow Station Road as it straightens up parallel with the tube line (behind a row of houses), and at the end of the road follow it to the right as it joins up with Langthorne Road. You should have a high brick wall on the left hand side, behind which is a graveyard. The Birkbeck is on the left 200 yards down Langthorne Roaod and can be seen from a distance. Stocks three or more guest ales on handpull, plus Thatcher's cider, and the usual selection of lagers and bottles as well as an excellent selection of whisky. Two of the ales on tap when we were there in the 2004-05 season were sublime. Food is confined to rolls and sandwiches.
Birkbeck Tavern, 45 Langthorne Road, Leyton, London, E11 4HL. Tel: 020 8539 2584."
Orient day - part 3
After the big match we'll all be heading over the Birbeck Tavern for a post match drink and chat. As always, all are welcome - the more the merrier!
Contact info@capitalglovers.com for further details on any of Orient day.
PS Look out at Brisbane Road for the new Basque 'Capital Glovers' flag, fresh from the San Mamés, home of Athletic Bilbao, and soon to appear on South Korean TV!

New stats section for 5-a-side
Date added: 09/11/2007
We have launched a new stats section, called "BissZone", within the 5-a-side area of this website. BissZone contains details of all matches played by the team, match reports and summaries, appearances, goal scorers and much more.
Whilst the team is all about having fun and ability isn't important, this is a new way of assessing ourselves for friendly banter ("My goals per game average is 0.01 better than yours!") and our end of season awards.
This area will be expanded to contain player profiles, pictures and other fascinating but untimately useless stats in the near future.
To delve into BissZone, click here.
Despite having a healthy squad of 20, we're always on the look out for new players of all abilities. Contact us at info@capitalglovers.com if you'd like to join us.

Capital Glovers Pre-Season News
Date added: 17/07/2007
Well at last football is back. A lot has gone on since we trudged out of a wet Wembley in despair, but in Russell we very much trust and who knows we might be alot happier come the end of this season.
As last season steamrolled to a rather hectic conclusion, the results of the last meeting we had to discuss the role of the Capital Glovers got rather sidetracked. That's not to say the Capital Glovers disappeared, a large contingent enjoying (result aside) an overnight stay in Bristol, well attended meet-ups in the pub for the 2 Forest games, a ever increasing 5-a-side squad playing every Wednesday and not to mention the block booking of 50 tickets for Wembley. With a bit more time till the season starts proper, we'll endeavor to clarify the points raised in that meeting and get back on track and hopefully push on after a great 'debut' season.
One important point raised in the meeting was to raise the profile of the Capital Glovers with the club. I've been in touch with Dave Linney and he has offered sponsorship of Lloyd Owusu's Away kit. This costs £150 + VAT so works out £176.25, it means we get an mention in every home programme and at the end of the season we are given Lloyds shirt signed. At the moment we've got 7 Capital Glovers willing to chip in towards it and wondered if anyone else would like to help out - obviously the more people we get the cheaper it will be. If you are interested could you get in touch with us ASAP it would be much appreciated.
Out of interest, 5 of us are getting the train to Huddersfield for the first game of the season leaving Kings Cross at 8:10 returning from Huddersfield at 17:58 if anyone cares to join us. Travel to games as a group is something we can hopefully improve on this season.
For those that have got too much spare time at work and into 'Social networking' on the internet, the Capital Glovers have pages on Myspace (www.myspace.com/capitalglovers) and Facebook (www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2411803816)
The new issue of On To Victory will be out at the Port Vale game on August 18th, the deadline for submissions is the 10th August as ever any contributions on pretty much anything are much appreciated.
Enjoy the rest of the pre-season and hopefully see you all at some point soon.
Prematch fun on Sunday
Date added: 25/05/2007
We've got 2 options for those who want to meet up for a drink pre-match on Sunday:
1. A few Capital Glovers are heading straight to the Green Man in Wembley for 11am. It's opening at 10am with a BBQ at 11 in the large beer garden.
Link: Beer In The Evening Website: Green Man
2. For those who prefer a quieter/more central start, we've persuaded the Bok Bar near Baker Street to open at 11am for us. A few drinks will be had here before heading over to the Green Man to meet the others.
Link: Beer In The Evening Website: Bok Bar
See you all in a sea of green on Sunday.

Watch the play-offs in London
Date added: 03/05/2007
With the home leg of the play-offs now set for an unhelpful Friday night, we've once again booked the mezzanine floor in the Cos Bar for a communal viewing of the match in London.
With a good 40 or so making the televised fixture with Huddersfield back in January there's bound to be a decent crowd for this latest installment of the Glovers on Sky.
The Cos Bar can be found at 148 Queen Victoria St, London, London, EC4V 4BY. The closest tube is Blackfriars. For more details click here.
We'll be there from 7 onwards - come and join us!
Meeting this Thursday (18th January)
Date added: 15/01/2007
We have an important Capital Glovers meeting on Thursday 18th January. The venue is Royal Oak, Tabard Street, SE1 - further details are available from the link at the end of the article. We have booked the meeting room which so we'll have a real chance to sit and discuss the findings of the questionnaire.
It would be great if as many people as possible could make it as it's a real chance to sit and discuss the findings of the questionnaire that many of you filled in. We'll be getting there for 7-7:30 with a view to start the discussion just after 8.
We look forward to seeing many of you there on Thursday.

A busy January - 2 meetings and more
Date added: 02/01/2007
Happy New Year to you all.
Overall 8 points over the Xmas period can't be sniffed at even if we did do it the 'wrong' way round.
Capital Glovers have no time to relax after the busy holiday period with Yeovil playing against Huddersfield on Sky. As mentioned before we have got a room complete with large screen booked in 'The Cos Bar' which is on 148 Queen Victoria St, London, London, EC4V 4BY. Further details of the nearest tubes and all that are here www.fancyapint.com/main_site/thepubs/pub411.html. I imagine a few of us will be there from 7 onwards and it would be great to see as many Glovers as possible to help cheer the lads on.
Another date for the diary is Thursday 18th January, for the 2nd and meeting. The venue is Royal Oak, Tabard Street, SE1 - further details are available here www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/28/2814/Royal_Oak/Borough. We have booked the meeting room which so we'll have a real chance to sit and discuss the findings of the questionnaire. So you've still got a little more time to fill it in if you still haven't got round to doing so here. It's an ideal opportunity to have a say in the future of the Capital Glovers. As we have a room booked it would be much appreciated if you could let me know whether you can or cannot attend so we can firm up numbers with the landlord.
I will be bringing some badges with me to the Cos Bar and for the meeting so let us know if you want one reserved.
We've got our 2nd 5-a-side game of the season tomorrow and as ever we are on the lookout for new players particularly if you've got a good pair of shooting boots. We are actively pursuing joining another league and will look at arranging some friendlies as well so please get in touch at the usual address info@capitalglovers.com - what better way to lose those excess Xmas pounds!
Just a heads up for anyone thinking of going to the Nottingham Forest game, very cheap train tickets are available from www.thetrainline.com. Myself and Dan are going up for £12 each (the 9:55 train up, 7:30 train back should you wish to join us), and with Cohen and Jones both suspended the less money we spend watching us lose the better!
Hope to see some of you on Friday and if not then on the 19th.
Capital Glovers v The Shrimpers
Date added: 07/12/2006
The Capital Glovers 5-a-side team will be taking on a select Southend Utd fans team on December 16th. After a great season of 5-a-side at the City Powerleague this is a perfect opportunity to have a pre-Christmas run out to keep fitness levels at peak levels before the start of the new season.

November meeting - Leyton Orient and Walthamstow
Date added: 06/11/2006
With the Leyton Orient game being on Saturday November 18th we thought that we'd kill 2 birds with one stone and have our 'meeting/get-together' on that day.
For the pre-match drinks we'll be heading to the Ciderspace endorsed Birkbeck Tavern at around 12pm. Here's the Ciderspace descrition of this fine hostelry:
"It's about ten minutes from the ground, and especially convenient if you've come by tube, this is one of the best pubs in the area; and if you want any decent cider is the place to make for. As you exit Leyton tube turn left away from the ground. Follow the path for 20 yards and there is a gap in the railings with steps leading down to the road below.

Birkbeck Tavern, 45 Langthorne Road, Leyton, London, E11 4HL. Tel: 020 8539 2584."
After the game we'll be heading over to the Greyhound Stadium in Walthamstow. All are welcome, whether resident South East Glovers or just visiting for the weekend.
With a little bit of luck we may well have the Capital Glovers badges on sale at the Leyton Orient game, all for the bargain price of £2. Email us at info@capitalglovers.com if you want one and we'll reserve one for you.
With regards to the December meeting we are looking for somewhere where hopefully we can get an ex-player in - more on that as soon as we know.
We shall be at the FA Cup game at Rushden on Saturday, selling the OTV fanzine and keeping our fingers crossed that THE GIANTKILLERS aren't 'giantkilled'! There might be a seat or two in a car,(there's 2 in Dan's car I know off so email dan.britton@lineone.net) and this is a good chance for people to try and share lifts. We'll look at doing some form of noticeboard on the website for the future.

Successful first meeting
Date added: 20/10/2006
A big thanks goes out to everyone who turned up for the first Capital Glovers meeting last night at the Freemasons Arms in Covent Garden.
Just over 20 fans made the event, travelling from Kent, Surrey, Hertfordshire and Greater London. A thoroughly good time seemed to be enjoyed by all.
We now have more of an idea of where the group will be heading with some great ideas emerging from those present.
Next week there will be a questionnaire on this website to canvas further opinion on what Capital Glovers should provide, and how and when it should be done.
Details of the next Capital Glovers meet-up will be available shortly.
Capital Glovers Meeting - Thursday 19th October 2006

The first meeting of the Capital Glovers will be held at 7:30 on Thursday 19th October at The Freemasons Arms in Covent Garden. The pub is very easy to find as its at 81-82 Long Acre and a minutes walk from Covent Garden tube station. It is an ideal setting as it was where the FA was set up in 1863 (for more information click here).
Hopefully our organisation will be more proactive and less cumbersome than the FA, and that we will have more inspiring members than Graham Kelly and Bert Millichip!
It will be a good opportunity for all of us to meet up, chat about all things Yeovil and also to discuss very much 'informally' what people would like the Capital Glovers to be and to do.
There should be 'Capital Glovers' badges and quite possibly some t-shirts for sale, I'll have more details on that in the near future. That and other news will be posted on our website www.capitalglovers.com, which should be up and running very soon.
If you want to come email us at info@capitalglovers.com.
