In the 1999/2000 season, Yeovil faced high-spending perennial favourites Rushden and Diamonds at Huish Park. The fixture promised a bumper crowd but clashed with the England v Scotland Euro 2000 playoff. Rushden manager Brian Talbot refused to move the kickoff, resulting in a disappointing crowd of 2,180. His plan backfired as Terry Skiverton scored in the first minute and the Glovers ran out comfortable 5-1 winners.
