History of the Cheltenham Town v Stockport County fixture

Cheltenham T. are ready to welcome Stockport County to Whaddon Road on Tuesday evening, hoping to break their duck against the visitors. Though past meetings have resulted in more draws than losses for Robins.

The previous match played between the two at Whaddon Road was within the last three years, in September 2008, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a League One match.
