The 2018-19 campaign was a season of turbulent but ultimately successful transition for Cheltenham Town as The Robins secured a safe 16th-place finish in League Two, following the crucial mid-season appointment of manager Michael Duff. Leading the charge was the veteran striker Luke Varney, whose career-revitalising haul of 14 league goals in 39 appearances proved decisive and earned him the coveted Supporters' Player of the Year award. It was a pivotal year that saw the club overcome a difficult start, steady their position in the fourth tier, and lay a solid foundation under Duff's leadership.
