Cheltenham Town FC is an English football team from the large spa town of Cheltenham, Gloucester.  Founded in 1887, the team has played at four different grounds, namely Agg-Gardner's Recreation Ground, Carter's Field and now the Abbey Business Stadium, although it is more commonly known as Whaddon Road. The club spent its first three decades in local football.  In the early 1930s Cheltenham turned professional and joined the Birmingham Combination before joining the Southern League in 1935. They won promotion to the Alliance Premier League (now the Conference National) in 1985, but were relegated seven years later. Cheltenham  were promoted back to the Conference in 1997 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 (now League One). They have spent much of their recent history bouncing between the lower two tiers of English football. Cheltenham were however, relegated to the National League at the end of the 2014-15 season.  They secured an immediate return to the league as champions the following season. Cheltenham won its first Football League title in 2021 when they finished top of League Two and secured promotion.
