Huish Athletic Ground, more commonly referred to as Huish, was a football stadium located in Yeovil, Somerset, England. It was the second home ground of Yeovil Town Football Club, after the Pen Mill Athletic Ground which they left in 1920, until the club's departure for Huish Park in 1990.
The ground was most famous for having an 8-foot side to side slope,[1] and was the scene of one of the biggest FA Cup giant killings when Yeovil beat Sunderland in the fourth Round in 1949.[2] The site is now occupied by the car park of a Tesco Extra hypermarket.[3]
