Hmmmmm appointee Carl Fletcher as their new head coach.

His previous job managing Plymouth doesn’t fill me with confidence here, seems an odd appointment, hope I'm wrong.

When they bought Edinburgh in I was genuinely excited what he would do, still such a massive shame we won’t get to see that potential fulfilled.

Well looks like I wasn’t wrong in my apprehension there!

Like Steve Davis, who was their first head coach appointment, I felt he was just a poor choice and didn’t show anything in his coaching career thus far to warrant the appointment.

Strangely having initially struggled as Interim Head Coach, Ross Embleton went on a stonking run prior to Fletcher’s appointment, his last match being a 4-0 win,

Embleton back in interim charge now, although he doesn’t seem keen on it permanently and sometimes it just doesn’t work when a number 2 who then does well as care taker gets it permanently.

Will again be interesting to see what they do.

Apologies to resident O's, I'm just on the train back from watching Scunny get a great 2-0 result against you.

I'll say this though... Despite the oddness of having a block of flats in each corner, it was great fun being back in a proper football ground, like the ones I grew up going to. And only a fiver to get in!

Yeah I really like their ground.

Think it’s the west stand I’ve usually sat in, theres just a good feel about it.

That's really good value.
My local team, Haywards Heath Town, play in some really shit league, with shit ground with one tiny stand and they currently charge £9!
I could've gone to see Spurs Women playing Arsenal for less than that.
Then they wonder why no one is going to the games?!
If they charged a fiver and say, a quid a child, I'd be taking my kids down there for every home game but out of principal, I'm not paying that much for such a low level of football.

Wouldn't surprise me in the least.

Cooper is a right objectionable git. And their chairman Dale Vince is the worst kind of egotistical self-promoting twat.

On top of that their knuckle dragging supporters seem to think it's cool to come into Cheltenham and cause trouble when they play here.

Scummy club from top to bottom.

I hope this gets the media coverage it deserves.
England captain supporting a smaller club, helping charities and praising key workers.
Top work H.

Is he the first player to sponsor a shirt?

Durham and Goughie were blown away by it on drivetime.
