Carlisle drew their last game at home to Stevenage, they will likely also be relegated next weekend so right before playing us which probably isn't good for us. I hadn't realised Stevenage scored a 96th minute equaliser in that game! Last time we played Carlisle in April the result secured our prom...

We have a great youth team

Other than King it seems all the youth team are being released, it's massive step to league one though but if Lloyd is out he will have to be on the bench Monday.

Bookies have Fleetwood as 1/20 to go down after today they are done. Vale are the next favourites.

Solihull would be a decent away day next year, at least we won't have to go up the hill at Nailsworth.

Great win, keeps our chances alive and for the people worried about Port Vale keep in mind Bristol Rovers have been in terrible form lately. Cambridge result was a real body blow for us though.

Just a personal view - it is probably the case that a lot of Championship / League 1 / League 2 Clubs factor in money expected to be cascaded from the Premier League, hence running up some level of debt (not all of the debt, as that would likely constitute serious mismanagement for whatever reason)...

Is this PB backing out of the club? i dont think anybody can criticise PB and his contribution to CTFC. Like everybody else he is getting older and probably wants to relax and enjoy time with his family without the 24-7 stress that no doubt CTFC will give him. That's a weird response he hasn't been...

Not sure I would ever want to see the day the trust own the majority of the club. Being third largest shareholder should be enough we need benefactors like Keswick and Jennings for their financial support because the trust cannot provide that level of help.

This sounds to me like the trust have bought the shares at a discounted rate from Mr Baker, was there no option of a rights issue so the money went into the club?

Interesting read...last accounts, Looks like we took a bank loan out of 500K presumably for the training ground, but don't quote me as I am no Accountant. Top line shows latest accounts. Some share issues presumably to provide funds. Not sure if any loans relate to share issue. Cash at bank was int...

Very little loyalty in football, his work rate this season has been very good but you can't hide the fact he has only scored two goals all season. I would have liked to have kept him to compete for a spot in our front two but will be interested to see who takes a chance on him.

Agree about Sercombe, he's the midfielder who can arrive late in the box, Pett/Bonds/Kinsella are just never doing that so our goal threat reduces a lot without him. We are also missing physicality up top, Nuttal is a long way short of what we need, Goodwin/Street would bully defenders and cause spa...

I feel we are almost non-league in what we offer within this space and whilst I do not know this provider it sounds like it's much needed and overdue to get us to where we need to be.

Yep in Manchester and London prem games I reckon half the stadium is full of tourists just having a day out. They're the only ones prepared to shell out the obscene ticket prices! I went to Anffield a few years ago and it was exactly the same thousands of tourists taking photos with big selfie stic...

Smallest squad in the league and carrying injuries to several key players is our biggest problem right now. That said the clubs with the larger squads will undoubtedly include their U-23 squads which only the bigger clubs will operate at this level. The clear outlier their is Fleetwood who invested ...

Connor Wickham was probably the only tried and tested league one footballer that was out there and given he has gone to Charlton (who tripled Alfie's wages) I doubt he was anywhere near our wage structure. Could we try again for Joe Doodoo though? RCS - I don't believe teams like Shrewsbury or Cambr...

Sorry Si ,but I respectfully question what you say. Finding 21k shouldn't be beyond a National League club let alone a L1 club, so to say we might become insolvent is scaremongering. Whether there's an oven ready option out there who knows, but for heavens sake we need to try. If we max out the cre...

What does plan properly for league two even mean? Are we talking about the on field side of the club or commercial revenue (or lack of)...

Yes - we're only in with a Scooby due to Darrell Clarke. If he goes, then many others go with him - Pett/Sercombe/Taylor/Ferry/Long. Davies/Southwood/Bonds/Lloyd/Harrop are probably worth a punt at this level - maybe Keena needs better/more creative players around him than we have and then he'll ge...

Another two point deduction would be very handy for us.

How many did we have yesterday, I could only think of two both for Taylor one which seemed a certain goal but defender blocked it and the other the free header which the keeper caught easily.

It's almost like we have used up so much energy to catch up we are flatlining. The high press high energy cheltenham have gathered the most points....but at the moment we are a spent force. The emotional and physical miracle the players have performed has caught up. Stick or twist? I like Thomas......

Can you post the complete list please? https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/verein-statistik/zuschauerrangliste/statistik/stat/plus/0?selectedOptionKey=4&wettbewerb=liga Thanks. But don't forget, not all of this number are home fans. Many will be away visiting support. Some are just curious neutrals...

Jordan Thomas?

Joe Low more likely, Liverpool are not signing players from Cheltenham, especially those aged 22.

Smith has looked really poor in his first few appearances Thought he looked bright up at Derby but another who looks like he's struggling to adjust to the level. Felt to me like he was dropped by Clarke after making one too many mistakes so we might not see him again now for a while. I have the sen...

If we're gonna play like this we may as well bring Nuttall on now, at keast the ball might stick up front a bit. Would probably bring on Kinsella and Harrop for Sercs and Bonds, try something different I don't want to sound harsh but he's shown absolutely nothing what I have seen of him. Hopefully ...

After todays results we are no longer favourites for relegation! Bookies now have it with Port Vale (1/1) and Shrewsbury (7/4) to join Fleetwood (1/25) Carlisle (1/100) whilst we are 9/4 and Charlton 3/1.

“Set to report a significant loss for the last financial year, full details on the way in the coming days.” Not the news I wanted to read, thank you. Good gates, Goodwin sold, where did the money go? Unless paying off Elliot was expensive It will be the last financial year so Goodwin sale would not...

That's a fair point, Horteng, the pressure would've been truly intense...and GJ rebuilt the entire squad. I've often thought his incredible achievement was tarnished, in the eyes of many, by what followed. However, that should take nothing away from the bounceback season, which indeed was truly ast...

When it was first mentioned, I thought the hotel idea was some sort of joke. In Whaddon?? Now, a couple of HMO's, sure - I could see that. But it's not really the same thing. What about a development where the car park side is a row of shops and maybe a gym? A franchised food outlet, bookies that d...

What he has done is already amazing, I actually feel we might just stay up this season now after totally writing it off some time back. Assuming we do pull it off it really builds some excitement of just how good we could be next season, our form suggests we could go for our first top half finish wh...
