The club was founded in 1892. Cheltenham joined the Southern League in 1935 and won promotion to the Alliance Premier League (now the Conference National) in 1985, but were relegated seven years later. The appointment of Steve Cotterill as manager during the 1996-97 was the start of a revolution at the club. They won promotion to the Conference in his first season as manager and two years later gained promotion to the Football League. After two mid-table finishes in Division Three (now League Two) they won via the playoffs and were promoted to Division Two.

Cotterill then moved to Stoke City and his successor Graham Allner lasted just seven months at the helm before Cheltenham's dismal Division Two form cost him his job. His successor Bobby Gould was unable to stave off relegation and the following season was replaced by John Ward, who guided Cheltenham to glory in the 2005-06 League Two playoffs.

Current Season (2006/07)

Cheltenham v Tranmere, 8th August 2006

Cheltenham won the first two games of their first season back in League One despite being one of the favourites to be relegated. A 2-1 victory away to Swansea City and a 1-0 home victory against Tranmere Rovers. This was despite no new signings after last season's promotion.

Perhaps the biggest game of the season came at home against Nottingham Forest. It was the biggest crowd of the season so far, and despite out-playing the Reds for much of the game, Forest ran out 2-0 winners.
