It's great news all round. First time round featured a lot of highs, but there was the occasional low point, for example: www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRls...

I spent the summer putting together a dataset of every Cheltenham Town first team game since 1989, because, well, I'm not sure, but it seemed like a good idea. Anyway, thanks to
@robinstrust.bsky.social for the boost. For every like i'll share one random game. #ctfc

@robinstrust.bsky.social what's the Trust position on the club continuing to use a social media platform gamed to promote far-right messages?

Laurence Horton @laurencectfc.bsky.social · Jun 11

What? Maybe I shouldn't get AI to generate posts....

Laurence Horton @laurencectfc.bsky.social · Jun 11

RIP Brian Wilson. A classy right-back with 151 appearances for Cheltenham Town who also composed one of the greatest albums ever made.

My "not in a position to make an assessment of potential investment and investors at this stage" post has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my post. #ctfc

Concerning news that someone from SISU (of Coventry City fame) is sniffing around #ctfc. SISU are vulture capitalists, aggressively wanting a return investment with disregard to the supporters, staff, and community around a football club. Don't be dazzled by talk of investment.

Nit picking corner here. George Blackburn (1932-1934) earned one England cap in 1924. And Ron Lewin came to manage Cheltenham after a stint managing Norway.

That list of bad loans was gruesome (and very enjoyable). Denny Johnstone! 😵‍💫

Short-term impact Steve Booker, season long favourite: Dillon Phillips. Worst? So many. Kane Ferdinand, obviously. Matt Green had a decent career by looked terrible with us.

NFL-isation of the game. Seems every corner or attacking set piece in the final third requires at least five minutes to take.

Gregg Slogget was this week's random Robin i'd forgotten all about (only last year too!)

Things I love about postponements. The amateur groundsmen and meteorologists are out in social media force. #ctfc

22(!) years ago today. Still the finest away performance i’ve seen at Whaddon Road. Dean Ashton on a different level. Two red cards for Town hardly helped, but definitely the end of a #ctfc era. www.11v11.com/matches/chel...

Yes a got a sense of the chaos of football around that time. I know the OCR text for BLN is not great making key word search is very hit and miss so I admire your dedication to page turning! Your pod was fantasic

Lots to say on the history, but also worth mentioning when it comes to defining "foundation" given, its clear at some point the club ceased around 1903/04 and then was re-established along similar lines in 1905.
