You're not the only one who is still scarred by that experience. It brought back horrible memories of a 0 - 6 drubbing by Argyle and I've not recovered from that either, even after half a century or so.

Wasn't at Yeovil but agree about Boxing Day 1969 remember that all too well. We had one shot , a Mickey Cave effort that landed on the roof of the net. That bloody milkman scored 4. Can even remember what they played on the tannoy while walking out in a daze - Sugar Sugar by The Archies - hated that record ever since !

I'm happy enough to consider the investment of the stream costs as a donation to your club. Sure the service wasn't great but they did everything they could so I hope plenty of others feel the same and leave you with at least some funds after the game.

Best of luck for the rest of the season.

I was happy to pay £8 for the Chesham stream on Saturday.

It never crossed my mind to seek a refund as Chesham did their level best but as I always say technology is great a until it fails to work!

It is like Electricity we take it for granted until we get a power cut on Christmas Day.

I notice Boreham Wood v Yeovil Town F A Trophy match tonight has been postponed I guess due to a Waterlogged pitch but it could be something else.

2 Yeovil players have suspected Covid 19 hence tonight's postponement.

Boxing Day match for TUFC against Yeovil must be in doubt.
