Celebrating a Lifetime Robin – Adrian Bailey’s 80:80 Challenge

Adrian Bailey, a lifelong Cheltenham Town supporter is celebrating his 80th birthday in the most fitting way possible, by swimming 80 lengths of a pool to raise funds for the Cheltenham Town Community Trust, the official charity of Cheltenham Town FC.

Adrian first watched the Robins play in 1958, and more than six decades later, his passion for the club has never wavered. Even after moving away from Cheltenham, he’s continued to make regular trips to Whaddon Road, proudly following the team through every high and low.

Now, through his “80:80 Challenge”, Adrian wants to give something back - celebrating his lifelong connection to the club while supporting our work in building healthier, more active communities across Gloucestershire.

We want to encourage Trust members and Robins fans to get behind Adrian's challenge.

Challenge date: 11 December 2025
