History of the Cheltenham Town v Tranmere Rovers fixture

Cheltenham T. prepare to entertain Tranmere Rovers at Whaddon Road on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The Robins have drawn both of the previous games against their opponents, however.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Whaddon Road was just last season, in August 2006, the Robins carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a League One match.
