Martin Allen's Fundraising Bike Ride

Martin Allen, manager of League Two Cheltenham Town, completed a 72 mile bike ride on Sunday morning in order to raise funds for the cash-strapped club.

Allen set off at 6.30am from his home in Maidenhead and arrived at the Abbey Business Stadium (Cheltenham's ground), in time to get into the dug-out to watch his side play a friendly against Premiership new-boys, Birmingham City.

Sadly, Martin's day didn't end happily.

His team was thrashed 4-0.

So What About Oldham Athletic to Whom This Blog is Dedicated Too

The 'Real Latics' won their last home game of the season against relegation threatened Cheltenham Town 2-1 at Boundary Park.

Oldham took the lead in the 16th minute through Smalley, Cheltenham equalised in the 50th minute from the penalty spot through Gillespie and Oldham won the game three minutes from time when Alessandra scored.

It will be League One again for The Real Latics next season as their recent poor away form has let them down from appearing in the play-offs for the 2nd successive season.

The Real Latics League home form finished at:

Played: 23

Won: 10

Drew: 7

Lost: 6

Goals Scored: 32

Goals Conceded: 21

The Real Latics season finishes next Saturday at Gresty Road, the home of Crewe Alexandra.
