Cheltenhamshire

Cheltenham Town FC are in the play-offs tomorrow to go back up the league. Typically they’re playing in Cardiff & I’m actually in Cheltenham for Kim’s birthday. 30,000 spectators are expected, but I’ll not be one of them (friends & family are going). I’ve not had much chance to follow them this season to be honest.
I’d like to share one of my favourite Robins chants with you:
We can’t read and we can’t write
But that don’t really matter.
We all come from Cheltenhamshire
And we can drive a tractor.
Ooh arrr, ooh arrr, ooh arrr, ooh arrr, ooh arrr.
Cheltenhamshire la la la,
Cheltenhamshire la la la,
Cheltenhamshire la la la,
Cheltenhamshire la la la.
There are also some random chants that I’ll never understand, like, “celery, celery” when Cheltenham get a corner. Funny fans – usually more entertaining than the football.
