South stand: standing, and the epicentre of where the atmosphere is created by fans. Usually LOTS of  loud, enthusiastic chanting and singing (I advise you to learn the words to the song that begins "The club on top of the hill, the little village team" and to research the correct answer to the question "What do you think of Cheltenham?"). Usually one or two drummers, too.  Moderately crowded. Catering facilities merely adequate (and uncovered, and usually no alcohol is available there) - best bet is go in the Green Man before the game.  If we win the toss, FGR usually choose to attack this end in the second half, so the most vocal fans are right there when we score. Sightlines of the rest of the pitch are OK rather than excellent, I advise getting there early (say 40 or 50 minutes before kick off), so you can get to the highest level of the terrace. Standing to one side can be as good or better as being more central. Towards the west side you might encounter typically coarse but good-natured banter between home and visiting fans in the adjacent stand  It's all Immensely good fun, and pretty much an old school traditional English footballing experience, and a world away from the sanitised Premier League corporate experience. Personally, unless I really needed to sit down or was with someone who did, I'd not go anywhere else.

North stand: similar in structure to the south stand, but with a very different crowd. More families with children (although these are found in East and South too). Typically probably the quietest of the home stands. How crowded it is probably varies more widely than the other stands too (on "kids go free" days it will be close to full).  Catering arrangements similar, more or less, to those of the South Stand but more clearly within view of the pitch.
