Ahead of the Spireites’ return to the Football League and League Two, we are going to take a look at all 23 other teams that make up the division.
We are continuing with Cheltenham Town:
FACT FILE
Team Name: Cheltenham Town Football Club
Nickname: The Robins
Year Founded: 1887
Stadium: EV Charger Points Stadium
Capacity: 7,066
2024/25 Finish: 15th in Sky Bet League Two
HEAD COACH
Michael Flynn joined Cheltenham Town in May 2024 after having left Swindon Town in January of the same year. His first year at the EV Charger Points Stadium was tough with his side finishing in the lower half of the table. Flynn will be hoping for improvement in the league table this time around.
Record with Cheltenham Town:
P 55 W 22 D 12 L 21 GF 75 GA 83
KEY PLAYER
Cheltenham had a number of wide players who thoroughly enjoyed their first season in Gloucestershire last term, perhaps none more than Ethon Archer. After making the move from Torquay United last summer, the versatile midfielder adapted to the EFL with flying colours.
Last season in numbers:
Appearances – 53
Goals – 8
Assists – 6
Yellow Cards – 3
Red Cards – 0
Minutes Played – 4,347
PLAYED FOR BOTH
Jamie Grimes spent just one season with Cheltenham, joining on a free transfer from then-National League side Dover Athletic. The defender would captain the side on a few occasions throughout the year. He made 49 appearances and also scored three goals for the club.
After leaving Hereford in 2021, Grimes made the move to North Derbyshire. He quickly established himself as an important part of the squad and has captained the side over the last few years. The 34-year-old’s guidance helped Chesterfield to the National League title in 2024.

Chesterfield have struggled in recent games against Cheltenham Town, winning once, drawing twice and also losing twice. However, the Spireites’ overall record against the Robins looks a lot better.
