It comes with sadness that yesterday I was notified that Bryan Jacob has recently passed away. Bryan was a keen follower of Cheltenham Town FC being a season ticket holder in the in2print stand. Bryan was a regular visitor to the training ground during John Ward's reign as manager and was also a regular poster on the robins nest during this time.

Bryan was influential in the set up of the Robins Trust taking up the role of secretary during our formation and the early years of the trust. Without Bryan’s efforts and enthusiasm towards the Robins Trust in the early years I am sure we would not be as successful and a have such a strong membership as we currently do.

I have wrote a few word on Bryan which will be posted on the trust website over the weekend.

Everyone involved in the Trust would like to offer their condolences to Brian's family and friends at this difficult time.

It is with great sadness that I have to report the death of Bryan Jacob.

Bryan was a keen supporter of Cheltenham Town FC and often spent time at the club’s training ground along with being a season ticket holder in the in2print stand.

Bryan was influential in the set-up of the Robins Trust, taking a significant role in the formation of the Trust and taking on the role of secretary.

It was a role Bryan took very seriously. He was always keen to ensure that his duties were completed on time and that the trust was represented in a professional manner.

Without Bryan’s efforts and enthusiasm towards the Robins Trust in the early years I am sure we would not be as successful and a have such a strong membership as we currently do.

Away from football Bryan enjoyed to travel and I remember him telling stories of trips to Australia during his time on the trust board.

Everyone involved in the Trust would like to offer their condolences to Brian's family and friends at this difficult time.

Clive Gowing - Trust Chairman.
