Cheltenham Town FC – Club Overview
Cheltenham Town Football Club is a professional football club based in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England. Known as ”The Robins,” the club has seen a remarkable rise through the English football pyramid since 1989. At that time, Cheltenham were playing in the Southern League (sixth tier) but began a steady climb under manager Steve Cotterill, culminating in promotion to the Football League in 1999 for the first time in the club’s history.
Cheltenham quickly established themselves in League football, winning the FA Trophy in 1998 and securing promotion to the third tier (then Division Two) via the playoffs in 2002. Though they experienced relegations in subsequent seasons, the club demonstrated resilience, bouncing back to League One in 2006. After fluctuating between League One and League Two, Cheltenham faced relegation to the National League in 2015.
Under manager Gary Johnson, the Robins responded swiftly, winning the National League title in 2015-16 to return to the EFL at the first attempt. In recent years, the club has continued to punch above its weight. Under Michael Duff’s management, Cheltenham won the League Two title in the 2020-21 season—their first ever EFL title—earning promotion to League One, where they have competed with determination despite limited resources.
Whaddon Road (currently known as the Completely-Suzuki Stadium for sponsorship reasons) has been the club’s home since 1932. Cheltenham Town is known for its strong community ties, well-organised football, and consistent overachievement given its size. The club continues to solidify its position in the Football League, striving for stability and success in England’s competitive lower divisions.
