Cheltenham Town (H) - League 2 - Sat 31st August, 3:00pm

I don’t want to steal anybody’s thunder (@simon ?) but for anyone doing a preview of Tuesday’s game, it’s live commentary on national radio, TalkSport2.

Another opportunity to raise the clubs profile so surely a good thing, I’d say. :+1:

I do but not in a competition with fake teams in it. Mark my words, eventually, the U21 over 65 teams or whatever the hell they are WILL arrive in the Football League which will mark the death knell of football as we know it. And anyone going, supporting this “competition” have contributed to it.

43 loyal souls not attending will not prevent the inevitable.

No they won’t.

If the powers that be want it to happen it will happen, regardless of if Walsall take 50 or 500 to Blues.

It’s not for me or anyone else to say what games to go to, but if it bothers people that much, fight the fight you want to fight. What is it anyone is doing to stop such a thing from happening? Is anyone doing anything at all other than saying they are boycotting a cup?

People are happy enough to subscribe to Sky and watch Walsall on TV, that is doing damage to the game right now from a fan’s point of view. It’s just accepted, and if the U21 teams do eventually get into the football league it will because no one did anything.

I’m going on Tuesday. I wouldn’t have bothered to be fair as I have been to Blues loads of times but the kids haven’t and they might not get another chance.

Very well said. :clap:

Only Morecambe, of the teams we have played are absolute dross in my view.

On Sky tomorrow against Salford, good chance to see what both teams are like before we play both in the next few weeks.

Our pressing is a lot better as well so far this season we arent leaving huge gaps like we did last season when teams would just play through us easily at times.

Can confirm a handshake took place (5:17). Might need to load in youtube as may not load in UTS with an adblocker.

About time we caught up with this matchday footage. Good stuff.

Agreed, although I’m worried for Saturday, injuries/international call ups. Might just be one or two too many out.

He was always going to replace Flynn and Flynn probably knew it as well.

Why do we suffer so many muscle injuries? I can understand knocks like Liam Gordon’s knee, but both McEntee and Josh G went off with what looked like hamstring injuries!

Vlog from the Cheltenham end. Thank god we have finally changed that music after we score! Minor, but even the tiniest of remnants from the last rotten decade (and longer) need to be removed

Sorry if it has been asked already, but what sort of reaction did Flynn get from us?

Pretty neutral I thought, Owen Evans on the other hand…

I was going to ask about the reception Evans got… presume it was quite bad?
