I did PM asl to double-check, but had it verified elsewhere. It goes without saying that I lived on his history site at times just studying the results over the years. It's a shame they're now gone (hopefully someone will be able to recover them). They are not all gone (though they are from that si...

That referee is a disgrace to the game. Managers need to call out performances as poor as his. Glad ours did so tonight.

TheTownClub

You might not like the current handball law, but by its definition that was a clear handball. This referee is a disgrace. No it isn’t. It has to be either deliberate (it wasn’t) or the arm should have been in an unnatural position (e.g. extended above the shoulder or away from the body (it wasn’t)....

Why exactly was that a Notts free kick leading to that 2nd goal? Nonsense refereeing so far, although they do deserve the lead Benjamin Speedie, who booked seven Cheltenham players when we played Chesterfield earlier this season. That game should have ended his league career. The game 2 years ago w...

That article mentions Stevenage finished "89th" in the league a few years ago, but doesn't mention they actually were bottom of the Football League when the season ended due to Covid, but were reprieved by a points deduction applied to Macclesfield and the fact only one club went down than...

Only one kit change per year please. Polls should not be just for X users ( Twitter has gone). I will not use X and I am not the only one. Agreed. The owner of X is clearly a race war agitator, who's skewed that platform into a far-right misinformation machine. I cannot believe so many organization...

Agree, the worst draw would have been a familiar league two name - just like last year.

No, we haven't.

I am annoyed that the draw is on TNT.It should be on a free to all chanell. It is always good fun to see the live draw. I think it is on 5Live radio so I will listen to that. It's also on TNT's YouTube channel. Not ideal, i know, but free to watch. Personally, i'd go back to radio only coverage of ...

Not my memory, given it was over 90 years ago, but I would have loved to been at the Cheltenham Athletic Ground for the third round tie with Blackpool in January 1934. Blackpool were just relegated from the First Division, but had international level players in their team, and stayed at the Queens H...

Aside from Pele starting for Spurs, and a player with hyphenated first and last names, this game will go down in Cheltenham history: The highest ever squad number the club has issued: Number 51. Previous record, George Lloyd who broke into the first team wearing 50.

TheTownClub

All good fun to speculate, but really, at this stage of the season, you have to concentrate on your own results. Let's get those 12 wins and 12 draws and depending on how many games are left, we can start checking results from other games.

TheTownClub

Did we deserve that? On reflection, probably not. Do I care? NO!

TheTownClub

Staying up will depend on winning home games against the bottom third in the division, and we have seven home games against teams currently in the bottom third to come (i've also thrown Barrow in that number). Pick up a few draws or nick a win or two against teams in in the top two-thirds of the tab...

Professional performance all round. The transformation in a couple of weeks is amazing. Only one man could have done this!

Short answer, yes. And think that was one of the concerns of the Trust based on their public comments about potential owners, that if you don't want to sell your shares they just get diluted. However, It seems Mike Garlick is happy to let the Trust retain their significant interest.

TheTownClub

Each time new shares are created it diminishes the % holding of the Trust. Do we know what proposals the Trust has for this scenario in the future? I'm waiting for the Confirmation Statement to be filed to authoritatively answer that. The Trust has never has had "significant control" in t...

Those Americans you talked about. I make Tomkinson the fifth American to play for the club in modern times. Matt Olson: Appearances 2. Goalkeeper at the tail end of the first spell in the Conference. Came to Europe to try and get enough experience to make the USA94 World Cup squad. Didn't. Now a col...

TheTownClub

Companies House just published a statement of capital following an allotment of shares notice for the club. It looks like Mike Garlick invested an extra £734,100 into new shares in the club, on top of the existing shares he’s bought.

TheTownClub

If Tompkinson appears in the match squad tomorrow he will be the 36th player we've had in 16 games this season.

He has, 42 minutes against Exeter in the FLC. However, that might be the first and last time we see him.

I agree, parts are shabby, grubby, and have been left to degrade. In the grand scheme of things, it shouldn't take much to spruce the place up a bit. We're not talking about huge developments. Some paint and general maintenance would be nice. Even something fairly small like replacing the worn out ...

He’s strolling around as if he’s Franz Beckenbauer…but without the ability to run, pass, tackle, or control the ball.

To be fair, der Kaiser doesn't have those abilities these days.

Poor Pell. Yes he was out of position, but this game can be cruel in letting you know time's up.

I also noticed the "I went for" switch after the "we've made some changes" comments.

With someone who's been around like he has, you're going to have to listen for the subtleties and what he didn't say, over what he did.
