The Imps should neither underestimate or take for granted the charisma and energy of the Cowley siblings, which has been the catalyst for their very recent success. Should that success translate into a major assault on Football League 2 during the course of the current season, the Cowley Brothers wi...

It does of course imply that one, and all, may in future have to discount everything RegencyCheltenhamSpa states. Has he therefore rendered all his future epistles meaningless? Has he engineered a credibility malfunction of his own design?

Unlikely to have joined us when we don't even look like we are

The only fellow who managed to get all his work done by Friday was Robinson Crusoe.

One hopes Mr Johnson surpasses him this week, otherwise we could end up stranded on our own little island of lost hope.

Fingers crossed the rabbits are plentiful.

Lord Elpuz

One is perplexed about possible morale and confidence issues in the side going in to the opening League games of the season, because of a very poor pre-season. One has not seen sufficiently reliable or experienced prowess either in situ or rumoured to be joining thus far, particularly in front of go...

Lord Elpuz

All great publicity for young Mr Vince one might add, with FGR being his secondary plaything. The vegan connotation is something of a misnomer, particularly when one recalls again the classic photograph of the FGR Players all huddled together outside Greggs following a training session, devouring ba...

One believes the vests are branded "Ladybird" and are unsold stock from FW Woolworths circa 1971. And a little moth-bitten.

If they could speak, one suspects they would be saying, "HELLLLLLLLLLLLLP"

Lord Elpuz

I'm not concerned which two players may be departing from whaddon road if I'm honest, in fact to presume who they are from such a long list would be long odds. I'm more concerned that the manager has only just realized with only days to go before our trip to Morcambe that we have players who simply...

Lord Elpuz

I didn't go but was told Flatt was at fault for their first goal, Bristol didn't play their first team but we did well first half before collapsing in the second. No surprise reading comments about Cranston being weak. First half, Cheltenham competed well and created several reasonable chances, so ...

Lord Elpuz

seems like we can't afford "next to nothing". It is somewhat perplexing. One was lead to believe Mr Johnson had been handed a better than expected budget this summer? Are we about to see the quality/experienced signings that were hinted at, being added to the full-back and striker departm...

Lord Elpuz

One has to side with The Old Tomcat's p.o.v. in that these are only friendly games, a chance for a manager to experiment tactically, get 90 minutes game-time into each player, try different combinations and look at trialists against emerging youth players, balanced against possible loanees or potent...

Lord Elpuz

For what it is worth, I have watched the young fellow. He's a natural defender, excellent concentration, sound positional play, immediately aware of his outlet when in possession of the ball, a strong tackler, appears fully fit, slotted straight in to the team comfortably, has an excellent first tou...

Lord Elpuz

I have written off this season. More concern to me is 2019/20 season. The Board and Manager decisions between now and 2019 look like they are going to bankrupt and relegate our club. A real shame. Prithee how so, may one ask? Some insight into the Board and Manager decisions planned from now intil ...

Lord Elpuz

One imagines it has not escaped our Forum members recent memories of the Play Off Finals in May this year? The Blackpool Supporters Trust have boycotted Blackpool games because of the way the club has been run. Just over 5000 fans turned up for the 2017 Play Off Final against Exeter. That's even les...

Lord Elpuz

I would imagine the fitness levels wont be ready until we start playing the league clubs like Peterborough and Bristol City that will be the true test not playing part time teams like Cleeve. The team is starting to take shape but the strike force atm looks the most unpredictable area of the pitch....

Lord Elpuz

This young fellow played very well indeed. I was unaware of who he was or his past struggles, but he impressed me because he did not put a foot wrong. Very good concentration, never got caught out of position, a natural defender who was confident in possession and was not beaten by his opponent.

Lord Elpuz

I think a lot of people were upset when Cranston replaced the very popular McLennan and it stuck with them. The most telling point about this is the fact the decision was made by Mr Johnson to replace young McLennan. One has to ask "why?". Could the answer be that Mr Johnson had concerns ...

Lord Elpuz

The left back position has been something of a problem for CTFC for a number of years now. I recall adverse comments aimed at Ridley, Andrew, Jones (superb left foot, but injuries had caught up with him), CBB etc. Young Cranston is the latest incarnation and amongst a small set of fans, seems to be ...

Lord Elpuz

Anybody else think these 'Big Brother' GPS vests violate human rights and freedoms. With a degree of jocularity, one is reminded of our quaint little vegetarian hill fort neighbours, Forest Gump Rovers. If Master Vince had equipped his 2015/16 squad wth the GPS vests, he would have been far better ...

Lord Elpuz

And the travellers will have to negotiate the Oxford evening traffic ... too bad. One really must applaud the sympathy for minority groups looking for somewhere to stay. And one can appreciably understand why the Kassam would be an attractive proposition being a three sided stadium, as access to th...

Lord Elpuz

One would expect a degree of reticence by young Master Dillon regarding a willingness to return to Whaddon Road, simply because his former house compatriots have now left the club. He would know that the camaraderie he enjoyed with his pals during those halcyon days of non-League soccer, is now over...

Lord Elpuz

Toppo news. Jolly well done to all concerned. One would very much like to see some of hEaLeR's splendid montages on the new screen, in addition to some of the revenue raising initiatives. The technology in situ will clearly benefit from football related media, because too much "Pearl and Dean&q...

Lord Elpuz

What I don't get is that WW must have been content for the player to open discussions for terms to have been agreed. So, either they're now reneging on the 'deal' or we didn't understand what it is they wanted, or we're now trying to exert pressure on WW to lower their demands. It would be a real s...

Lord Elpuz

Praiseworthy indeed, a fine interview. I hold the young fellow-me-lad Murry in the very highest esteem. Along with young master Clive, his predecessor, the Fan Elected Directors have absolutely done the Club proud and demonstrate how important the Trust is to the success of Cheltenham Town Football ...

Lord Elpuz

Not sure about that I'd imagine the New Lawn will be the smallest ground in league two but I suspect their gates will be comparable with Accrington and Morecambe i.e. around the 2000 mark due to higher number of away fans. The very point there being the higher number of Away fans which will make TN...

Lord Elpuz

Prithee correct me if I am much mistaken, but young master Waters scored 8 goals away from home last season. Given the relatively small number of FGR fans, each Home game will feel like an Away game to him should he join our neighbours from the quaint village hill fort, and that may well curtail his...

Well on this sneek peek he looks a decent player https://youtu.be/cC_yQZ66__g" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ...but did have a surface that didn't look like W S M :lol: The video is poetry in motion. Be not surprised if this young Frenchman becomes the signing of the summe...

Lord Elpuz

He may take our personnel, but he will never take our souls. The nail's worth nothing when his wooden stadium becomes a coffin.

Lord Elpuz

Gary mentions he has agreed three signings and 1-2 more are close. Given we have announced only two players either it's a mistake or we will announce another at the start of next week. Our mole is no more Be he just a mere freckle? Darkening our door But departed as the heckles Grew louder Now conf...

Lord Elpuz

Mr Johnson has just signed his 2 year contract, which is excellent news, and one would certainly describe that as a marquee signing.

Lord Elpuz

With 5 days to go, or the possibility of an extended early bird discount, now would be an ideal time for the Club to announce a marquee signing to get the punters licking their lips and rushing to renew.

It's a first rate opportunity to educate the hoi polloi with some fine opera or even a ballet.

Lord Elpuz

You're spot on about the positivity coming out of the club at present. It's great to hear and I hope the plans come to fruition. Regarding terrace v seats, I think so long as any developments are built with future proofing in mind then we could always build a terrace that could convert to seating s...

Lord Elpuz

£50,000 plus add ons would be handy. As the young fellow Waters is now devoid of his contractual obligation to Cheltenham Town Football Club, the following article contains appropriate information should the compensation package be a cause for any disagreement by relevant parties http://fullcontact...
