I'm liking the new voice and the new and, dare I say, fresh replies. The team and performance progress from away at Exeter to where we are now is obvious - and well done too those fans that have seen every game... It's so much better to go to a game optimistic! That's how I'm feeling just now. Real ...

plymrob

I agree - it's all laughable and much more immedaite and painful the lower you go... Here's a moment in Ilkeston's history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilkeston_Town_F.C._(1945) I'm trying to think back and am unsure if they have had one or maybe even two re-incarnations since. A previous director...

Avoiding emojies... A very creditable reply! But I'm suprised Nesty was not there first!
There's a kind of hush now....

plymrob

I'm thinking of putting my faith in Herman's Hermits moving forward.

plymrob

Clearly not football but, given the option, it's clear - I'll have to take my chance on a stabbing. Great news...?

plymrob

Not sure how we missed out.. but Matt Smith continues to do pretty well across the leagues...?

plymrob

Very happily (I had best add for me), there apears to be some FA Cup notalagia buried here within this thread. But, having been mostly corrected, that is now wiped and I am just looking forward.

plymrob

I'm thinking it takes a brain dead person to close a thread. So I have intervened.
Recent on here...WHAT?! Newport County...?
I'm flagging (but quite obviously not staff).

plymrob

From my memory - playert fitness is often cited at a managerial change.
BTW - a great repect (and hello) to the guy from Winchester who travels up to games...and to him (no to all...) please forgive my too often ramblings.

plymrob

I think a really fit CEO should do the trick. I've seen us at Exeter. I'm seen us at home to Derby.
SO - apologies to all that I may have scoffed at but, to me now, a CEO and a mission statement is so obviously the only answer.
I'm so pleased to see the light.

"And the last time I cycled to Whaddon Rd was in 1978".
Thanks Fuller, and that cycle is still serving me well... not using it tomorrow though.

plymrob

Reading here back overtime, RCS knows there are goals.... so one of Goodwin, Street and Keena being that 20-goal a year stricker? Lots of posts, in the meantime, though. Of course, his positivity is good. Going from front to back, many years back, I quite liked Troy Brown... who went to Exeter (as a...

plymrob

Dare I say... A club's heritage should (and does) matter to some of us. I'm also thinking that's why the 'Nest' began? Take the p#ss if you like. Ups and downs... certainly hard to take, but it happens. I'm equally sorry if you missed the the last fifty years but it would seem you have loads of othe...

As we know JP is on the hot line to the arguably too often much maligned board. "JP saying Scott Brown is now favourite." "JP just tweeted he understands that Scott Brown is NOT in the running for the job." So it would seem all's well... I tend to read here that we do like JP's l...

I'd be surprised if anyone comes/goes to Cheltenham for "fun"? Sixty plus years in and I could not even afford to live in my home town. I'm therefore thinking "nice" in other people's heads? I'm also thinking it's like anywhere, but, currently, with a football team that desparate...

Hoped to find the Brighton FA Cup programme (1970 - lost 4-0) - but it's in the loft (and my son has borrowed the ladder!). I have one full Robin's mixed (home & away) match programme binder folder to hand... And, because it caught my eye, I was going to scan and submit Leek-v-Chelt (29 Nov 1997...

plymrob

My apologies. I was just cheering myself up! I'd be very happy to stay in League One (or, dare I say it, Two) over an FA Cup run... But it is surely quite hard to be too optimistic for this season just now? "Happier days"? I'm still thinking not a totally invalid throw away line on the bac...

"I've got Scott Brown just above Joey Barton on the list of people I wouldn't want to see manage my club". Surely - It's not who you (we) like, it's can they turn this disaster of a season's start around? Bristol Rovers going well... (and the 'blanked' manager of Stevenage doing very well)...

plymrob

TRUST: I just tried to re-sign-up and I'm told I already belong? I did so for a quite a few years (plus my son) - mainly for progression in the FA Cup ticket priority game...BUT inspite of the internet feedback, I'm not so sure I am still signed-up...? Prompted by this thread.... but - let's face it...

plymrob

Quoting Garby - "Gotta love the bashing of managers before there even appointed. 'The Cheltenham Way'."
Scrolling back... I reckon that's three possibles on here maligned already...

Where we are at... I think we need to take the next appointment on the chin.

Met Ben's Mum in Plymouth soon after he moved to Wrexham. Al;armingly, she connected me to him on her 'phone with me still feeling bitter...! I then (logically) had to agree he had made the right call - and it's proved so.

This, with my condolencies to Ben and family.

plymrob

I too was thinking about maybe blaming the Tories... But, on reflection, it might just be we are not very good at the moment...? We surely need someone here to work on the Labour/Tory in Government stats, vis a vie , Cheltenham's progress down the years..? It would surely be great to politicise our ...

plymrob

That said, maybe a year or more too soon for Goodwin though - and all those other 'promised' goals?

"He's had his hands tied for much of his time in charge, yet he achieved our second highest ever position and was a penalty shoot-out away from giving us a day out at Wembley. He got a lot of s#!t last season, much of it warranted, but not to the extent he was getting it, but at no point did he...

Neil Warnock coming home to Cornwall.., He does not need the money... but the challenge might just tempt....? A season long commitment - and with staying up delivering a decent bonus... (League One premiums on the line - or League Two for Chelt more likely)...? I'm thinking Huddersfield - plus many ...

Swans have beeen known to take off...

Some interesting discussions. Especially as to why community ownership is the panacea. For now, on this thread, I just want to know why or how we are talking about (2.5p) - a sixpenth worth? It's surely 1/2d or 1d (one penny's worth) - and even with inflation, a sixpence (a silver one) is what you y...

"Little he could do about either of those. Losing with 10 men is hardly a fair reflection".

Absolutely. The season's going great so far. Just this one blip.

plymrob

Yes please. Let's be in the recent past. That would be great!

plymrob

We are already basement. Where's the positivity coming from...? We cannot go much lower.

plymrob

There is no traction for a CEO )amybe from a few here trying to position themselves (please NO!), clearly it's a few on here, that says we definately need a CEO. AND suddenly the morons on twitter count. We have no money. It would be a board appointment. So how is the CEO going to change things...? ...

"If it were me, JP's access would be very severely curtailed" He's doing a good job and probably sees more games than most. He's the best since Derek G... So, let's not blame the messenger. I was there last Saturday. We were boardering shocking. Most of the game... but last ten mins summed...

Let's spend laods of money we not have on the non footballing side. Great idea. More top-end management please.

plymrob

It that the dog shi# paper along with all the other dog shi# papers? Maybe there is one that is gospel? Excusing the religious twist... do please put as all on the straight and narrow moving forward.

Read, learn, ignore....? Just made that up, but some people can digest and make reasoned choices.
