Re: Derby (A)

Went in the away end at Derby a few weeks ago. The safe standing is about 90% of the stand with only a small wedge of seats at the front for those who want to sit. And the stewards are very hot on checking which section your ticket is for. The pubs around the station are, indeed, fantastic. But they...

Re: Do you agree with todays pitch invasion and match abandonment?

All footage shared is of the out pouring of love and pride toward our club and anger at what is happening. That would still have been shared regardless of the abandonment. I'm not sure about this. The abandonment elevates it well above a mere pitch invasion. It's on the front page of the BBC Sport ...

Re: FA Youth cup 2023/24

Sean Long is at Cheltenham. I think looking back it shows the club has been able to produce a consistent stream of good professional players - even if only a few have played consistently at Championship-level or higher. Is now in his sixth year at Cheltenham. Closing in on 200 appearances, Is club ...

Re: Selles In

Clyde1998 He was on the touch line for Peterborough and Cheltenham (IIRC) and don’t remember him picking up any cards in either game to get a new ban.


I'm pretty sure Selles was booked after the final whistle at Cheltenham.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Cheltenham Town (a)

Despite our overall better results I don't think our defence has improved really. Abbey and Bindon are raw. Dorsett looks ok but not confident in a LB role, Holmes is still iffy. I'd like an experienced CB who's better than Harlee Dean! The problem today was largely in our inability to compete in m...

Glad you liked it St Pauli. It is a special place. Though if you think the beer is expensive, take a look at rents and house prices.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Cheltenham Town (a)

Dorsett... Get him off throw ins. Mbengue stepping a foot over the line taking a throw-in was comically atrocious. I’m just amazed the Lino gave it as a foul throw. Street and Lloyd going off and being replaced by Keena and Butler-Oyedeji really killed Cheltenham’s press at the end. Neither have th...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Cheltenham Town (a)

Will be interesting to see how they set up as they must be thinking the same as us. Must not lose draw would be ok. But being the home team are they going to take the game to us. Almost certainly 5-3-2. That’s the default starting formation. Likely Street and Lloyd up front with Liam Sercombe, one ...

Royal_jimmy Southwood will want to get one over on us as well.


And Sean Long. Spent five years in the Reading academy before being released. He’s been superb under Clarke and been made team captain. Will want to prove a point for sure.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Cheltenham Town (a)

First goal could be really key here as whilst of later they don't score, they don't concede many either. This was definitely true a couple of months ago. Cheltenham were, and still are, a confidence team. But Darrell Clarke is prepared to take risks to score goals. At Blackpool, with Cheltenham 3 d...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Cheltenham Town (a)

Has the makings of a belting game this one. I was at Cheltenham v Shrewsbury today and the Robins were very comfortable. As they were at Carlisle on Saturday. Darrell Clarke has worked an absolute miracle since Wade Elliott was sacked in September. This Cheltenham team is the polar opposite of the o...

If you don't have any luck, away fans are a common sight and generally ok in the Colin Farmer stand (assuming you don't behave like a knobhead, of course).. Book Block 6 and you'll be next to Reading fans

Re: MATCHWATCH : Oxford United (h)

Oxford were awful at Cheltenham a couple of weeks ago. Cheltenham even had a man sent off just before half time and Oxford still couldn't lay a glove in the second half, eventually having Rodrigues sent off themselves late on. The thing that did it was Cheltenham turning it into a fight. They roughe...

Re: Cheltenham (A)

Was gonna go until I saw it was an evening kick-off. Assume zero trains back ? You can actually get back to Didcot or Reading but you have an 8 minute connection at Swindon so is doable but tight. The connecting service at Swindon is usually held if the incoming train is late. I do this journey a l...

Re: Cheltenham (A)

5 miles away from where I live, so no excuse for me not to attend. I've been living over here for 4 months now and I've still not seen a single person wearing a Cheltenham shirt, scarf or anything else in club colours. Not all that surprising for a club with a very small fanbase. A hardcore of 3000...

Re: BFTG - Cheltenham

Cheltenham started where they left off from Bolton on Saturday. A pretty limited side with two or three key players injured making things worse, just couldn't get close. The second half improvement was surprising but, as others have said, absolutely no goal threat whatsoever. Last season Alfie May w...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Cheltenham Town (h)

Was at Cheltenham v Bolton yesterday. Cheltenham got absolutely battered and couldn't get anywhere near the Trotters who look ominously good. Not really surprising as Cheltenham have the lowest budget in the league. Last year Alfie May was our highest earner on something like £120k a year. Curtis Da...

Re: Rival Watch

Could take a lot for Peterborough to recover from that and if Wednesday lose the final after such a comeback, it could be a tough pill too. May impact both next season. Sheffield Wednesday have been absolutely worlds apart from the rest of L1 this season. Similarly to Notts County in the NL, it wou...
