Martin Hellier: Yeovil Town owner plans to sell club after ‘abuse’

The relationship between Hellier and the fans has been uneasy for some time.

A number of supporters, including unofficial podcast Gloverscast, have been banned from Huish Park for comments made on social media.

One fan, who was banned for two years by the club last week, published the letter he received from the club online.

The banning orders led to a backlash from supporters on social media directed at Hellier, who responded with abusive posts of his own.

Under Hellier’s leadership, the Glovers cruised to the National League South title last season, although recently published accounts show the club made a loss of almost £2.8m in the process.

“My investment provided the club with the funds needed to get through and provided you with football and promotion to the NL (National League) but has given me nothing but abuse and minus £4m personal deficit,” Hellier added.

“So yes, I do not intend to be at YTFC next season. Your abuse has succeeded. Now leave me alone until the end of the season.”

BBC Radio Somerset have approached Hellier for comment.
