If home fans have all of 1 to 8 in the CF could the 1887 Red Army get enough singers to have a unit at each end?

To help spread an atmosphere through the length of the ground and to help counter the away fans’ noise.

Anything to give even a 1% boost to the players in the last two games.

Checked just now with dummy bookings. Blocks 6 and 7 both on sale to home fans against Lincoln on Saturday and Peterborough on Tuesday. Some people have got their wish. Now let’s see if the fickle fans of Cheltenham turn out in the required numbers. Whether they turn up or not at least it means we ...

1-5 of the CF pretty much sold out for Lincoln on Saturday. Block 6 half full. Block 7 also on sale. If the good people of Cheltenham don’t turn out for their football club this weekend, they never will. Get the word out. It will take a good half a season for people to get used to tickets being ava...

Announce it now: NO Peterborough in the CF.

Darrell says the players need - and deserve - all the support possible: friends, drum and even guinea pigs.

That’s as clear a message as possible to the Board.

Still fighting, still fighting! Too little too late? It’s the hope which kills you…

11 wins down. Not enough games to get four more but three will do it.

Ten of our signings involved an intermediary - or agent - who commanded fees.

The signings are listed here, although the fees aren’t:

Look at league 2. The highest spending is soon to be relegated . It doesn’t necessarily correlate that the more you spend, the better your outcome . A bit like me missing Carlisle before, you have missed Wrexham. The highest spending is already promoted, but yes you’re right that money is no guaran...

To play our aggressive pressing game we really need to use four fullbacks and four running strikers a match. This is something we haven’t been able to do since January, maybe even longer ago. We have run out of available fit players who can do it. When the likes of Lloyd and Ferry are playing throug...

Should we go down, which looks increasingly likely by the week. Given the atmosphere that is created does not travel well and with the understanding that very few clubs would bring more than 700 away fans in League 2, is it finally time to give home fans both ends and incorporate the away support i...

All for not feathering the nests of agents. But appreciate being prudent has consequences. As an aside, why on earth does this happen anyway? Why don’t players pay the agents fees? It’s surely a bit like me buying a house and paying the sellers estate agent fees. Market forces. Say the arrangement ...

Well said re jeering and targeting of individual players from fans and the need to support the team in the relegation battle rather than undermine it.

RegencyCheltenhamSpa

For me, all this began with the disastrous five minutes at home to Reading. If you're going back to that, why not 10 or so days earlier when we lost a 1-0 lead in the 89th minute and lost 2-1 to Orient. I wasn’t at that game so didn’t get any vibes from it. Did we destroy Orient as much as we were ...

Embarrassing how many jeers and sarcastic cheers you could hear on ifollow. They all performed badly yesterday but singling one man out for abuse is just idiotic Yeh, e specially when he had actually won some headers and had held it up and shown some footwork but had no one near him in support. Not...

A very pleasing result. Posh are looking unbeatable at the moment. Have they got any of the other relegation strugglers that they can take easy points off……….? As it stands they’ll overtake Derby if they win their two games in hand and improve their GD by six, and then get automatics if they beat B...

Posh 1 Vale 0 HT It's the hope that kills you Peterborough 77% possession, 9 shots to Vale’s 1. Expect a 1-1 draw. 2 0.... That second goal drops Vale back down below Burton on goal difference. Amazingly, it’s perfectly possible that this time next week we can be out of the bottom four.

RegencyCheltenhamSpa

Whilst on the subject of strikers I thought the abuse nuttall received last night was well out of line. Our club refused to reinvest the goodwin fee properly and ended up loaning a conference striker,have a go at the board not the player. Embarrassing how many jeers and sarcastic cheers you could h...

Rovers ticket page says they have sold out.

RegencyCheltenhamSpa

why the big reaction to the ‘change’ at the start of the game then? It was still a new system. His complaints seemed more to be about the implementation of the system itself - players not making the right passes or runs. I.e. perhaps in training the players practiced a move where the winger cuts in...

Been a regular for approx 20 years . I’d say, that was up there with one of the most powder puff performances for such a critical game . Against the lowest side in the league, already relegated . Where to start . Manager doesn’t know his best starting 11. Maybe because players are so inconsistent ....

RegencyCheltenhamSpa

“keep it simple” by changing to a new formation with a day on the training pitch prior to the game. Why not just use the same system that pushed Exeter in the 2nd half? I also don’t understand why he continued a whole half when it was quite obvious it wasn’t working after ten minutes? The system we...

My point is clearly we cannot wait, recruitment needed to start weeks ago otherwise next season will be a disaster no matter which league we are in. It will be happening behind the scenes, surely? I imagine some of the January decisions were made with the summer in mind. It can take two or three wi...

The problem we face is that if we lose players like Freestone, Bonds and Lloyd then financially we will struggle. They came up with us from League Two and will still be on wages closer to the League Two level. But to replace them with proven League One equivalents will mean players who want wages cl...

Question 8, I think the labelling should be different as it doesn't really make sense for some of the responses.

I don’t often hear a manager big up a game like this.

Why am I not entitled to my opinion. What is the point of the spare keeper. Contributed nothing all season. Could have had Olayinka on the bench or even King today. It is getting to the point where we have to take a gamble. You really are a bit of a miserable so and so, dissing any ideas or comment...

RegencyCheltenhamSpa

Apologies for saying this again, but the time has finally come to ditch the Goalie on the bench and put a player who can provide an extra attacking option on the bench. Olayinka or even Tom King. Pardington isn't going to make or score a goal so no point having him there. Got to take a risk now. Ha...

There are still four games left after Bristol Rovers. It’s not a crunch game in the sense that anything will be decided. Peterborough very well could be. I’ve advocated before on here for always keeping the CF for home fans wherever possible. If we were confident of selling out seats to home fans f...

Do we have an underling? DC and Ian and AV all seem to be present match day so they won't be scouting the next team on a saturday.

I think ST holders missing as when I looked it showed basically full.

Also I wonder if some migrate down to B1 to join the 1887.
