Are people aware this is an all ticket game? First I heard was in an article on the ctfc website yesterday...I may have missed some other communication though.
Since then the ticket office has been closed, are you normally able to purchase tickets on the phone to be collected at the away ground? This is the only way I will now be able to get a ticket and don't want to miss it...
FGR Tomorrow - all ticket?

I will not be attending the New Lawn again after the way we were treated there last season. A most inhospitable reception for their biggest gate receipt of the season where 1,000 Cheltenham fans had to share 4 portaloo toilets with no running water, queue for ages to get a drink from the back of a filthy stand with a shabby tarpaulin for cover, no hot water for a hot drink, food that was still frozen in the middle having come out of a deep fat fryer prematurely, nowhere for elderly or disabled fans to sit, herded in and out of a tiny entrance/exit like sheep, stood on a non-League standard terrace with no cover, smokers told they couldn’t come back in if they went for a cigarette at half time, I have never seen anything like it and will make damn sure I don’t see the likes of it ever again by simply staying away from that tin-pot disgrace of a 3rd world club.

So you can’t buy on the gate ? Is this correct ? I was going to make a last min decision but this now makes my mind up if it’s the case
On the ctfc site it says all ticket...I was away last week so missed it being announced at the game on Sat. The first I noticed it in the press was yesterday and ticket office has been shut since. I also tweeted the club twice and have had no reply.
Not very impressed at all.

It was on the website on Tuesday 28th. I remember as I emailed them that day asking about it and they told me they'd put something on the website later that day, which they went and did.

It was this article here. They must have just re-dated it yesterday to bring further up the news feed.

Completely agree I have been to some poor grounds with poor facilities (Accrington,Guiseley etc) but have never had a worse experience as I did at FGR.Lord Elpuz wrote:I will not be attending the New Lawn again after the way we were treated there last season.

The Checkatrade match today is NOT all ticket.
Fans can pay at ticket office for £7 standing or £9 seated.

Maybe that is the case for home fans.The Old TomCat wrote:The Checkatrade match today is NOT all ticket.

But CTFC still advising, this morning, that it is all ticket for away fans:

It may come as a surprise to you OTC, but FGR’s policy towards away fans visiting TNL is quite different to the treatment of away fans.
After the squalid conditions and discriminatory behaviour last season we don’t care if there ate tickets or not.

Perhaps CTFC could check, fairly rapidly to see if that is the case.
Their communication with fans is not that good; I for one was not aware that last Saturday was 'retro shirt'; so missed an opportunity to wear my signed one , including John Finnigans signature!

Normal prices for parking tonight:
£7 for the main onsite car park (very limited though, turn up early if you want a space)
£5 for the School
No Park&Ride
Should be plenty of free parking on the local roads given expected small crowd at TNL.

According to Checkatrade twitter feed we aren’t playing anyway and a Yeovil second team have taken our place:

Fine by me. I'd rather the squad have a midweek off than play in this competition.RegencyCheltenhamSpa wrote:According to Checkatrade twitter feed we aren’t playing anyway and a Yeovil second team have taken our place:

They, Mr ‘Elpuz, are the REAL Cheltenham supporters who attend CTFC matches in good and bad times and are NOT plastic like you, who is big on rhetoric but small in actual support of team.
Even if your pathetic reasons for not supporting Cheltenham at a ground only 20 miles distance from Whaddon Road [or 45 minutes away] were accurate [which they ain’t] it is a disgrace that you felt unable to attend game. Those 236 have shown you up.
