YEOVIL Town FC has found itself the butt of the joke online after misspelling two words on the packaging of its merchandise.

Eagle-eyed punters spotted an unfortunate mistake on the package of the Glovers' scarf, reading "Yeovl Town", without the "i". 

The word merchandise was also spelt wrong, missing the "r". The scarf itself, which reads 'The Glovers', doesn't appear to have any spelling errors.

Facebook users disagreed over who was to blame, with one person commenting: "Responsibility lies with the printers, hardly the club's fault."

Another said: "If I owned a printing business and realised that there were two obvious mistakes, (as well as the old badge), I would have contacted the club, or the individual who placed the order, to confirm that they wanted something clearly incorrect."

One disagreed, writing: "This is why it's important to proofread multiple times. Someone's getting a telling off."

The club told BBC Radio Somerset: "Human error is natural; we're not robots."

One Yeovil Town fan suggested the item could become a "collector's item", and urged supporters to "buy one now".

Another commented: "In a few years these will be worth a fortune, so hang on to it if you’ve got one."
