History of the Bristol City v Cheltenham Town fixture

Bristol City are ready to welcome Cheltenham Town to Ashton Gate on Wednesday evening, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. All the previous meetings between the two have been won by the Robins.

The previous match played between the two at Ashton Gate was more than three years back, in March 2003, with Bristol City running out comfortable 3-1 winners in a League Division Two match.
