Ah, thanks.

Re: New stand development

They are beginning to compete with us for fans from Gloucester. All the more reason we need our new stand sooner rather than later to ensure we keep the better facilities.

Re: New stand development

On a point of order, the talk about replacing the PRE with a seated stand is slightly disrespectful to the very many Cheltenham fans who choose to stand at football. Forcing people to sit down is, thankfully, now a discredited approach. Any redevelopment needs to incorporate standing accommodation ...

Re: New stand development

The two ends of the ground either side of the main side are a proper eyesore and look to be a complete waste of space.

Early on in the 1997-98 season, a two one win at Aggborough. Superdale Watkins got them both, the second from a very tight angle (or so it seemed from the away end).
