Re: Cheltenham Town v Yeovil Town
We were not ‘fortunate’ that in two vital games both of our opponents were reduced to ten men. If you wind your players up to the extent that they are going to flaunt the laws of the game then that’s a chance you take. I cannot comment on the Macclesfield game but having had a look at the pictures ...

Re: Cheltenham Town v Yeovil Town
Re Clements "mouthful of gob" did he spit near or at a Yeovil player? If it was near, then no crime was committed. Agreed in part. Clements spat in the direction of a nearby Yeovil player who was approaching him only just missing him. No crime committed but an unpleasant action that is fr...

No different to going to the cinema. If it’s sold out you are expected to sit in your allocated seats, if it isn’t then you can sit where you like. I expect H&S policies have a lot to do with it. No other clubs that brings a big away following struggle to make any noise The recent ElGlosico mat...

Re: Cheltenham Town v Yeovil Town
The above posts and MD’s post match interview are fairly accurate of game. Cheltenham did not play well but won and now have an almost insurmountable advantage to avoid any threat of relegation. The team have been fortunate in two matches against fellow relegation candidates to have them both lose a...

Re: Deadline day
Okay, I'm calling it a day on this thread. It seems you guys just like an argument despite me answering what's been asked. DV is confident of the future of both Ecotricity and FGR and both companies are in the black. So yes I am enjoying the ride: FGR are 4th in table and SkyBet are predicting them ...

I don't know how it's done -whether it signing on fees or some other method They attracted a crowd of ...
