I had discounted Cambridge so thanks for including…it’s possible we could actually be above them before the final game in the best case scenario.

Seats not selling very well, maybe the board were right. Last home game on a sat this season and plenty left,shame. It takes more than one game for word to spread and people to start realising tickets are available. I personally think you have to wait half a season of those blocks being open before...

Absolutely fantastic news. I couldn’t stomach him being in the dugout sending us down.

RegencyCheltenhamSpa

Thomas and King provide an energetic and unknown threat to the opposition.

Lincoln know a defeat will end their season. Get at them early on with some young enthusiasm and they could collapse.

RegencyCheltenhamSpa

No RCS - this is the most remarkable story in football history, up there with Leicester winning the Premiership. It's still in our hands. Imagine that (and we don't need to imagine - I asked the question when DC came in and the overwhelming response was 'this would trump ANY achievement the club ha...

Reading can do the f*ck they want if they turn Burton over on Saturday. Never would goals from a financially doped strike force be more welcome.

RegencyCheltenhamSpa

Still in our hands, fck the haters this is the most remarkable football story of all time. Coyr Still fighting. That’s all we can ask. We should have been safe weeks ago, but that’s in the past now and we can’t change it. Those games are history, the next game’s a mystery. The second half yesterday...

Please, while we rightly indulge in all this back slapping. Can we perhaps spare a few moments and maybe have a vegan meal tonight, just as a mark of respect. 😀😂 CTFC still the best team in (administrative, not historic) Gloucestershire and the only football league side! Always have been and always...

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.

RegencyCheltenhamSpa

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 ...

RegencyCheltenhamSpa

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.

RegencyCheltenhamSpa

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...

RegencyCheltenhamSpa

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...

RegencyCheltenhamSpa

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...

RegencyCheltenhamSpa

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...

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...

RegencyCheltenhamSpa

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...
