Try Siberia, it has more going for it.
Yeovil really is one of those places I would never consider going to unless it's to watch football.
Easy 10's views on Yeovil always make me laugh, he hates the place.

I live about half hour away and have always considered it a bit of a dump

One of the worst places in England for an away game. I'd never go so far as hoping for a night out there.
A nightmare to get to: whether by train or road, it takes a ridiculous length of time to get there. I seem to recall it took two of NSC's west country residents a three hour rail trip (with no delays) when they were coming from Bristol, in the same poxy COUNTY. The rest of us took about four or five hours. The main station in Yeovil for those travelling from London isn't even in the town, it's in a crap village outside, and you either have to get a shoddy little bus or a taxi into Yeovil itself, that's once the ONE train per hour has actually got you there.
The pubs seemed an utter disappointment, the only saving grace being the fact that we were able to buy three pints at the bus station Wetherspoons for six quid. The cider on offer was crap (in the bloody WEST COUNTRY, FFS). And the ground is another monumental hike or taxi ride from the centre of town, to a dismal area surrounded by warehouses and dull new build homes. Jeez, I can't actually think of a single thing to recommend about Yeovil.

Yeovil? Liberal Democrat country. It's political correctness gone completely mad. Need to clear Somerset of johnny foreigner before I'd go there again.

I think that Weatherspoons serving crap cider in Yeovil says more about Weatherspoons than Yeovil after all it is Thatchers country, the rest I agree with.
The only reason I go there for football is because we don't have West Country games anymore unless you include BC and I drive up from Plymouth in about 1 hour 15 minutes.

The tumbleweed is rather pretty at Yeovil Junction.

Many years ago, during the final Test against Australia in an Ashes home series, I went to Somerset with my other half. I suggested that we popped into Yeovil. "I thought you weren't going to watch the cricket" was the response....
