In our latest set of interviews, we interview Yeovil Town fan Patrick Van Hejden. In the interview, Patrick talks about the cup upsets, the football league so far and the potential to hold their own in the championship.

NAME

Patrick Van Hejden

AGE

21

SUPPORTED YEOVIL TOWN FOR

12 years

BEST THING ABOUT BEING A YEOVIL FAN?

There are very few downs being a Yeovil fan these days. We've been played so well over the last few years and hopefully, with Gary Johnson at the helm, we'll do even better in League 1 (prosuming we make it off course)

WORST THING ABOUT BEING A YEOVIL FAN?

All the expectation around the town these days means that we're set for disappointment most of the time if things don't go the way we hope.

BEST AND WORST MEMORIES OF BEING A YEOVIL FAN

Obviously the FA upsets come top of the list of best memories. Since we came into the league, that first game away at Rochdale in 2003/4 was so memorable and the best day out I've had in ages. The worst was being at yours at the end of the last season when we failed to make the playoffs despite winning.

I HAVE BEEN VERY EXCITED BY THE LINCOLN VS YEOVIL GAMES, HOW HAVE YOU SEEN THE GAMES BETWEEN THE TWO CLUBS?

They have all been good games and you are certainly one of the better teams in the division, I believe, correct me if I'm wrong, that we were only one of two teams to do the double over you last season and that was no mean feat. That game at Sincil Bank last season was arguably the best and worst game since we came into the football league.

WHERE DO YOU RECKON YEOVIL'S REALISTIC LIMITS ARE (I/E, HOW FAR IN THE LEAGUE STRUCTURE CAN THEY GET WITHOUT STRUGGLING)?

I believe we could survive in the championship, obviously not setting it on fire but I believe we could more than hold our own.  If Gary Johnson leaves I would see us being a similar team to Bristol City and hanging around the League 1 playoffs.

WHO ARE YOU BEST PLAYERS?

Way, Weale, Gall, Jevons

WHO DO YOU RATE AS CITY'S BEST PLAYERS

Gary Taylor-Fletcher and Alan Marriott

FINALLY, WHO DO YOU RECKON WILL GO UP?

Up : Yeovil, Scunny, Southend, Swansea
