Jubilant scenes as Cheltenham Town secure League One promotion
Watch Cheltenham Town players and manager celebrate League One promotion
Cheltenham Town have been promoted to League One.
The Robins sealed an automatic promotion to England’s third tier following a 1-1 draw against Carlisle United.
It is the first time in the club’s 134-year history that they have secured an automatic promotion.
Despite fans not being permitted inside the Jonny-Rocks Stadium Road, a number gathered outside the ground as manager Michael Duff and the players celebrated.
Speaking to ITV News West Country, the manager said: “It’s a bit strange with no supporters here, you’ve got to sort of make the atmosphere.
“But I’m immensely proud of what we’ve achieved. It’s two, two-and-a-half years coming together this.
Their promotion means Cheltenham Town will be playing in League One for the first time since 2008-09.
Elsewhere in League Two, Exeter City maintained their play-off hopes beating - and relegating - Grimsby Town 3-2, while Forest Green lost 2-0 at home to Barrow.
