Re: tinker man and next season

I am of the opinion that this is all academic. There seemed to be a gulf between the manager and the chairman during the forum. To the extent that I don't believe he will choose to remain. I am sure there will be other options available to him next season

Re: TONIGHT: 2023/24 Club Annual Shareholders Meeting and Fans’ Forum

I would question how you could build a Business plan that is to a certain extent based on your ability to develop and sell players. It is a laudable goal to have, but surely it is partly based on luck? I am struggling to understand how you can depend on spotting an unearthed talent, persuade them t...

Re: Cheltenham Town v Lincoln City

Another goal given away. We had something like seven defenders standing there watching their player hit the ball in the net, not one of them went to block the shot. Such poor defending. Sercombe stoodright beside nim watched the ball come down then watched him put it in the net without doing anythi...

Re: Peterborough - home tickets

I’m shocked to be honest. The seats have been consistently selling out across the CF stand and the main stand has been packed throughout the season. Not sure what’s happening and why people aren’t turning up when it actually matters. Our League 1 status will be decided over these next two games!! I...

Re: Peterborough - home tickets

Block 6 almost sold out. Plenty of seats in the main stand. Block 7 completely empty. Block 8 now not even on sale. This is, frankly, a pathetic response by the people of Cheltenham. Their club needs them, and they've responded with apathy. I’m shocked to be honest. The seats have been consistently...

Re: TONIGHT: 2023/24 Club Annual Shareholders Meeting and Fans’ Forum

I'm a bit confused with the backlash against selling players to breakeven or make a profit. Its not luck to sell a player but a clear part of the club's business plan. We develop and improve players, give them experience with the aim to make a profit on them. At L1 level, with average attendances a...

Lincoln will be our hardest game by far, as far as I'm concerned.

Lloyd's value to the team is his energy, chasing, tenacity, winning the ball, and setting up goalscoring chances. I agree, it would be great if he also scored a few goals as well, though I suspect if he did, we would struggle to hold on to him! Therein lies the frustration of supporting a club like...

Darrell Clarke is the reason we weren't relegated weeks ago. We have the smallest budget in L1 and, I believe, the smallest squad. To compound this, we have walking wounded and simply don't have the cover and strength in depth enjoyed by other clubs in this league. DC has taken his share of any bla...
