Cheltenham Town are based at Whaddon Road and are one of Gloucestershire’s main Football League clubs. The Robins rose from non-league to the EFL, won the National League, reached League One and built a reputation for resilience. Their rivalry with Forest Green Rovers is a key fixture in the local football calendar.
Cheltenham Town’s home is still best known to many supporters as Whaddon Road, although it currently carries the sponsored name EV Charger Points Stadium. It is a traditional lower-league ground just to the north-east of Cheltenham town centre, with a mixture of seating and terracing and a layout that has developed gradually over many years.
The Colin Farmer Stand is the main modern seated stand and provides the best side-on views. Opposite is the HGV Drivers UK Stand, while behind the goals are the home and away end areas. The ground is compact rather than imposing, but it has a strong sense of place and feels connected to the surrounding streets.
Whaddon Road is a good example of a characterful League Two stadium: not overbuilt, not generic, and easy to understand once inside. The atmosphere can be sharp when the home terrace is busy, and the away end is close enough to the pitch for travelling supporters to make themselves heard.
Away supporters are usually housed in the Hazlewoods Stand / away end behind one of the goals. This is the part of the stadium traditionally allocated to visiting fans, with access from the Whaddon Road side of the ground. Away turnstiles are located between residential property on Whaddon Road and the nearby bowls club, so the entrance can feel a little tucked away if it is your first visit.
The away allocation can vary depending on the fixture and expected travelling support. For some matches, seating or additional sections may be made available, but visiting supporters should follow their club’s allocation details rather than assuming the whole end or any side seating will be open.
The view from the away end is close and generally good for a small stadium, but facilities are more lower-league practical than luxurious. The surrounding streets are tight, so allow time to find the correct entrance and follow the stewards’ directions, especially if segregation is in place for a larger fixture.

Whaddon Road is close enough to Cheltenham town centre for many supporters to make a day of it, but parking near the ground is limited. The club advises that stadium parking is extremely limited and, where available, should be pre-booked rather than relied upon on the day.
If arriving by train, Cheltenham Spa station is some distance from the stadium, so most supporters will either use a bus, taxi or a longer walk via the town centre. For drivers, the roads immediately around the ground are residential and can be slow before and after the match.
For neutral supporters, the Colin Farmer Stand is usually the best choice for comfort and view. The home atmosphere is strongest around the traditional home end, while away fans are normally behind the goal in the designated away section. The Robins Nest and local pubs may admit away supporters in small numbers depending on the fixture, but it is sensible to check matchday guidance first.
Cheltenham Town tickets are sold through the club’s official ticketing channels, with online purchase the best option for home supporters. Prices and availability vary by competition and match category, and supporters should check whether a fixture is all-ticket before travelling.
Away tickets are normally distributed by the visiting club from Cheltenham’s allocation. Visiting supporters should buy through their own club where possible and check whether tickets are available on the day. For higher-profile fixtures, away tickets may be advance-only.
Neutral supporters wanting the best view should look at side-on seating, especially the Colin Farmer Stand. Supporters wanting a louder home-end experience should choose the appropriate home section, while those bringing children or wanting a quieter matchday may prefer to avoid the most vocal areas behind the goal.
Standard football ground regulations apply at the EV Charger Points Stadium. Supporters should expect searches and normal restrictions on alcohol, pyrotechnics, offensive behaviour, discriminatory language and entering the field of play.
The stadium sits among residential streets, so supporters should be considerate when arriving and leaving. Parking should only be in permitted areas, and fans should follow steward instructions around the away turnstiles and any segregation barriers.
Cheltenham Town provide accessibility information through the club, and disabled supporters should contact the ticket office before attending. Because the stadium is compact and developed in stages, arrangements such as wheelchair spaces, companion tickets, step-free entry and accessible toilets should be checked before matchday.
Parking at the stadium is extremely limited, including for supporters with access needs, so advance contact is strongly recommended. Away disabled supporters should usually organise tickets and access through their own club in the first instance, with Cheltenham confirming the final matchday arrangements.
There does not appear to be a regular public stadium tour programme at Whaddon Road / the EV Charger Points Stadium. Cheltenham Town may occasionally provide special access through community, hospitality or club events, but supporters should not expect standard stadium tours unless the club specifically advertises them.
