Just had a proper "wait, what?!" moment. Apparently Jermaine McGlashan has won the first promotion of his managerial career, taking Croydon up via the play-offs. As surprising as it is that McGlashan has gone into management, (to me, he didn't seem like the type of player that usually beco...

Got to be bent. They literally had the same thing down the other end for a Real goal that was ruled out 10 minutes earlier which went to VAR. Not only on this occasion does the lino put his flag up too soon but the ref acknowledges it and blows his whistle... I've seen a lino mistakenly put his flag...

I see membership has somewhat surged in the 8 days since this statement was made, proving that the Trust showing some intent and challenging the board is what the core fanbase wants. I think I saw that it was just under 270, and had climbed to 351 the day before last.

Shade

Time for a new thread to emerge

Shade

I believe the clubs themselves voted to keep the blackout. I seem to remember Paul Godfrey explaining why it's beneficial for Cheltenham for it to remain.

Shade

Just had a look through last season's fixtures and, although it's not easy to remember which games were originally scheduled for Tuesday's and which were Saturday postponements, I think we had 12 games throughout the season that were scheduled not to be on a Saturday at 3pm. That includes the Christ...

It is insane that 13 months ago we drew with them and now they're Premier League bound and we got relegated. Football is bonkers. Much like at the start of this season when Birmingham came and beat us 3-0 in the Carabao Cup first round, and but for one or two decisions different throughout the seaso...

Was thinking the same. Must be because we've been with them for so long, I'd have thought.

Shade

Tozer was a key player for us and although I'm not advocating he return to us he would be a like for like replacement for Curtis Davies. Interesting to compare the 200k we held out for when Wrexham signed him as a 31 year old with and the 250-300k we are getting for Alfie. Both of similar age and a...

Known best for Glos CCC commentary, has sadly passed away at 70.

Shade

Lifetime ban and a hefty jail sentence coming hopefully.

Shade

Thanks. Don't know why but I don't get emails, even though I'm on the system and get ticket confirmations, etc!

Shade

Is that all confirmed? The only one I've seen about from an official channel so far is the new retail partner.

Shade

Agreed. You don't just speak to one firm if others are available.

Shade

It wouldn't be the off season without Bowman's name being mentioned in some capacity.

It's the whole reason he had such a s#!t season

Seriously though, I still don't understand it

why wasn't Bondsy holding a Guyana flag, or any English player holding a St George's cross

Shade

Unless I'm mistaken, we're due a new home strip for the start of next season. I can remember the fanfare and promo vids last year and the year before for the last new away and home kits, but seem to remember they were both announced relatively deep into the summer? Anyone know why? I seem to remembe...

Shade

Just seen that the legendary Danny Wright, who got 22 goals and 10 assists on the way to the National League title, has announced his retirement at 39. He made more appearances and scored more goals for us than any of his other clubs and, of course, we made his dream of playing in the Football Leagu...

Shade

......That's a lot of recruitment to be done, especially as of that 13, at least 2 will probably hardly get a kick (King and Harris). At least most of those contracted are first team and more than capable for L2 (I hope). Just 2 WBs and 1 GK and we'll be well on our way. Think we will need another ...

Matt Smith is available on a free but we already have 4 CF but how many can score

Do we assume that DC is staying then
And what about the DofF

No, I initially missed Freestone out. Have added him now.

Shade

One and done for Pardington then. Shame. Can't exactly say I'm shocked about any of the released players, but I would have thought one or two would do a job in League 2. We already know Southwood is off, the rumours about Lloyd going, and we all seem to expect that Ferry will find a L1 club. So, if...

I was surprised that the pitch looked so good overall at the Lincoln game given how much rain there's been and it had been looking a bit worse for wear in previous games. A great effort as always by the ground staff.

Shade

I didn't mean I thought it would happen, just that I think it would be more likely than Moore coming back/us having him back. If we do have a DoF, I would expect it to be Russ, unless the board think he isn't performing and move him on/into a different role. But I'm here to be constantly surprised b...

So, another season done and dusted. Luckily, the two-tiered Predicta League idea never caught on, so there is no relegation here... It was confirmed a few matches ago, but Johnsons Red Army is the 2023/24 Champion , running away with things thanks to several perfect scores (largely helped by the tea...

If he comes back that would be one of the weirdest move in football considering what happened then and since. He contributed largely to us being relegated by leaving and taking half the backroom staff with him which had a big hand in the manager at the time eventually losing his job. Can't see it ha...

Shade

DC doesn't necessarily want a big budget. He said as much. What he wants is a plan of how the club is going to move forward, mostly with Seasons so that he can work better with his players. I think that's where he initially wants the shareholders he wanted to meet with to put their money, as it's ow...

Shade

Good news on those two. If we can get them to sign quickly along with Pett seemingly staying on, that would give us a pretty solid nucleus of a squad to tackle League 2 next season. Also interesting that DC is still very much leading this process so perhaps talk of him walking away are a little pre...

Shade

Haven't seen it back again but their second deflected off someone and past Pardington. Possibly Long. Not an OG though as the shot was on target.

Shade

As you say, he was a bit quick to give soft fouls but overall far from the worst ref we have had. Can't argue with the penalty. I'd have been screaming for it (doubt we would have been given it, though...)

Shade

Sack the "fans". The level of ignorance by a lot of these people is beyond belief. They have zero knowledge of the club, it seems, and yet they go around shouting things like sack the board, Bloxham is clueless and needs to go, the board needs to put their hand in their pockets, etc, with ...

God damn hope. We were down weeks ago but at least we have gone out with some pride. Here's to the 2024/25 season. I'll take survival right now, but hopefully we can keep DC and have a go at the play-offs, or better. Think we’ll have a few years of consolidation in League Two, a bit like after rele...
