Cheltenham Town tear Accrington Stanley apart
Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 3‑0 against Accrington Stanley, and it could have been more.
Player ratings17 Aug 2026
Josh Andrews scores twice — 8.31
Two goals and a mark of 8.31 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Andreas Weimann, 35, rolls back the years — 8.19
There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.19 at 35, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Too dear: Cheltenham Town walk away from Benoný Breki Andrésson
$1.4M was the most the club would pay and Stockport County were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.
Boardroom17 Aug 2026
Cheltenham Town go back to the board over Róbert Boženík
The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $8.3M — a club that wants Róbert Boženík enough to be asked twice.
Transfer targets17 Aug 2026
Kaine Kesler Hayden will not be coming to Cheltenham Town
Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Coventry City is saying, and nobody at Cheltenham Town is enjoying the guessing.

4 academy players handed senior numbers at Cheltenham Town
The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Door shut on Brian Madjo
Cheltenham Town asked and Aston Villa said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.
The terraces17 Aug 2026
The crowd has taken to Romeo Akachukwu
At 20 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.
