And the rearranged game at Yeovil after today was postponed.
If Charlie Cooper plays those games they are down. If not they should win 3 at least.

I'd love for them to go down, however Grimsby and Barnet must be big favourites for the drop.

at this stage of the season form counts for nothing. A LOT of 'coupon busters' happen in the last month of the season.

If all of their games left were against top teams, then I might agree with you, but only Luton fits that description out of their games left.
And the teams near the bottom are there for a reason, i.e. they are not that good, therefore I'd be very surprised if FGR go down at this stage.

No games against top teams but games against relegation rivals. The teams battling with FGR will approach their game with FGR as one they can win, targeting a game against a rival as a route to survival.Johnsons Red Army wrote:If all of their games left were against top teams, then I might agree with you, but only Luton fits that description out of their games left.

All depends on Cooper. If he does what everyone can see is obvious they will win 3 and 4. If he he picks a side to prove try and prove the fans wrong and to make himself look good they will go down.
Mark Cooper is an absolutely vile disgrace and an insult to the FGR fans and the game more widely. I don’t care if we beat FGR. I care that we beat Cooper. The type of shitty snake we Cheltenham will never employ.

I’ve looked at their fixtures... I think they are in real bother. Luton and Cheltenham, Barnet, chesterfield and Grimsby. A cup final each week
I think they’ll go down. I don’t want them to (I won’t evet go there again due to treatment of away fans) as it does add to the experience having a local rival. But they are such a shower from top to bottom I think they’ll self-combust. Cooper is hated throughout and Vince is clearly a ‘case’. I don’t know the odds but lump on
Since the January transfer window FGR have gained similar points total to Cheltenham, around mid-table for both teams. However FGR have won six of their last seven home matches and still have to play two teams below us in table [Grimsby & Chesterfield] which perhaps should be 6 points plus Colchester who have similar current form to FGR – perhaps one point.
Currently FGR have 40 points and another seven points would have been enough to have avoided relegation last season – Hartlepool relegated with 46 points.
Plus FGR have four away games – Luton away could be a loss with Luton in middle of promotion hunt, Yeovil have plenty of games to play before end of season and FGR could take advantage of their exhaustion and win, Barnet will be fighting for their league status but FGR should win against basement club, and then there is Cheltenham away. The ElGlosico matches have a habit of ending in drawn games despite which team is the more dominant. Therefore a possible/probable 7 away points = 54 points for season which last season would have put them in 18th in table.
Now compare FGR’s fixtures to those of Cheltenham and it is possible that FGR could end season with equal points to Cheltenham.
Cheltenham home: Coventry [loss] – Coventry are in promotion hunt and will be determine to win fixture, FGR [draw], Morecambe [win] = 4 home points.
Cheltenham away: Cambridge [draw], Crewe [draw], Exeter [loss] = 2 points and season total of 54 points but with better GD than FGR.
Only at 5pm on Saturday 5th May will either of us know who is more right.

I sincerely hope so. FGR's average away attendance numbers are already greater than Cheltenham: 4429 FGR & 4047 Cheltenham.Sprout Picker wrote: At least playing Luton away will push up your average attendance.
A massive crowd is fantastic, the atmosphere is great.
That is why I'm looking forward to the ElGlosico match at Whaddon Road where the stadium will be packed to the rafters.
And of course it will increase the FGR average away support numbers.

The discussion on attendances was opened by Sprout Picker - not me.
And thanks to Poll organised by Ralph I have officially over 70% support in posting on Robin's Nest, which I choose to use.
Simple solution to your dilemma Red&White is for you to skip reading all posts on this thread.

Sprout mentioned the attendences as a joke about your misuse and misunderstanding of other teams’ attendance figures. After which you responded with more nonsense meaningless attendance numbers.

Now there you have it, official confirmation from RCS that Cheltenham supporter started conversation concerning attendances.

And whether he initiated conversation as a joke matters not - Sprout started conversation.
As an aside it seems that those on Robin's Nest are totally obsessed with attendance figures as posts on this thread readily show.

Not at all.

I never mentioned home attendances. Check it out – it was away support.

I will offer you same advice as for RCS and that is to read my original post. Nothing attacking CTFC poster or posting crazy comments. I offered an alternate opinion on FGR’s forecasted results till end of season and compared them to those of Cheltenham simply because this is the Cheltenham forum.
You’ll not find any attack on CTFC poster, except yourself of course who I replied in kind.
Plus RCS, who deserves what I’ve written.
It seems you are the ‘crazy’ one to post what you have done.

Oh and remember I have more right to offer my opinion on this forum that yourself. I manage to get to Whaddon Road to occassionally watch Cheltenham and am not solely a mere keyboard warrior living in America that you be.
Anyway these series of post are great fun and even though I’m winning them hands down I’ll let you post your reply, as you undoubtedly will, and say no more until ElGlosico.

I did not (and never have) typed the above section of text you have attributed to me.
Interesting to see that you mention in your latest post how your 'heart was with Arsenal'. Any other sides you've supported over the years you might want to mention?!

Holy f#!$ you still don’t understand. Look, the numbers you gave have NOTHING to do with CTFC or FGR away attendances. They are averages of OTHER TEAMS’ home support. Get it??
