Re: Dan Crowley departs

I agree with the comments about Crowley, he has undoubted ability on the ball but tried to do to much himself when he could of passed the ball earlier,to open up the oppositions defence, this would of made him look a much player than he showed us. Their must be something wrong with his thinking and ...

Hi I have watched the robins for well over 60 years and never thought we would be an established league club as we are now. I always hoped we would one day. Traveling to the likes of Kings Lynn, Barry, Worcester and Bath to watch the team play, sometimes winning but many times not so good. After hav...

Re: Questions for Andy Wilcox

What is the situation with Eliot Bonds. Being out for the rest of the season is a big blow to himself and the club he was beginning to show signs of being a good player for us. Do we still have to pay his wages as he signed for the season, and will we be in the market to replace him when possible.

I was at the last game against Swindon which proved to be a good advert for league 2 football . As we keep hearing the phrase WE ARE CHELTENHAM, would not a more appropriate bit of music by Gustov Holst just before the players came out be better, after all he was born in Cheltenham.

Re: Are we ready for new season

In answer to my own question, we are far from ready. Goalkeeper gives me little confidence. Defence turned easily, midfield went missing second half, forwards were unable to hold ball up front. Some players didn't look fit enough. A very poor Cheltenham showing.
