The 2004–05 season was Yeovil Town Football Club's second season in the Football League. It was also the season in which they gained promotion to the third tier of English football for the first time in their history.

Season summary

The 2004–05 season was the club's second season in the Football League and manager Gary Johnson's fourth season in charge. Although they lost their first game of the season away to Bury,^[1] they started the season fairly well and were top of League Two with 10 games played.^[2] Despite going the next 5 league games without a win, a run of 10 league wins out of a possible 11 left them top of the table and 8 points clear of 4th placed Southend United.^[3] Yeovil also had some success in the FA Cup, setting up a 4th round tie away to Charlton Athletic, after defeating Darlington, Histon and Rotherham United in earlier rounds. Town were defeated 3–2 by Charlton in a close contest where Yeovil had a shot cleared off the line in the later stages of the game.^[4] Yeovil picked up 31 points from a possible 60 after this point, but it was enough for them to secure the title, finishing five points above 4th placed Southend United.^[5] The Glovers scored 90 goals, 21 more than any other team whilst Striker Phil Jevons was League Two's top scorer.^[6] At the end of the season, the club released five players including Latvian international Andrejs Štolcers while Polish striker Bartosz Tarachulski rejected the club's offer of a new contract.^{[7] [8]}
