Thousands of fans to attend FA Cup match - Cheltenham v Spurs

Fifty-four coachloads containing more than 5,000 Cheltenham Town fans are travelling to London.

They are attending one of the biggest matches in the League Two club's history when the side takes on Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane.

The FA Cup third round tie will be the largest crowd Cheltenham Town has ever played in front of as the match is sold out with more than 35,000 tickets sold.

One fan Sandra Roberts, said: "We're going to have a brilliant day."

The 67-year-old, who has been a fan for 20 years, added: "The whole atmosphere will be wonderful. It will be an excellent day out, I'm looking forward to it.

"The perfect result would obviously be a win but a draw would be nice so we can have Tottenham back at the club."

Former Cheltenham Town chairman, Arthur Hayward, who spent 30 years on the club's board until standing down in May 2011 also said he was hoping for a draw.
