Probably best for all concerned. Could think of many worse places to live and work than Cheltenham.

[j'adore hibs]

And there he was st Easter road for the community foundation event on Wednesday night

Especially around mid March :greengrin

Leaves us a bit short if we do plan on playinf 3 at the back all season

[Jag7]

Sorry to see him go .. always liked him on the pitch .

[worcesterhibby]

What was the fee

[J-C]

Good luck to the lad, gave his all and was unfortunate with injury just as he was getting established in the team with Hanlon, McGregor coming in didn't help his chances of forcing his way back in, I thought he'd get League one level football tbh but they seem to be spending at Cheltenham, so maybe a wee promotion soon.

I recognise that photo !!! Sorry wasn't there last May to enjoy it with you, had somewhere else to be ha ha :flag:

Hopefully see you back in when the season starts

[SChibs]

Beem told he's on more money down there which I was surprised at

Wherabouts? I'll have to pay a visit during the festival!

Why would that surprise you :confused:

[J-C]

Why would that surprise you :confused:


Because they're a League 2 side.

[KWJ]

Still has a lot of potential but needs to be playing games. Good luck to him and happily see him back at ER one day.

Townsend Street, it's called the Adam & Eve, it's straight down the Gloucester road from the train station, 10-15 minute walk

[MWHIBBIES]

Sadly not quite good enough for where we want to go. Good luck to him.

[Since90+2]

I liked Forster. Strong in the air , fairly quick and always gave 100% as well as being young enough to improve.

I probably would have kept him over Fontaine TBH but realise I would be in the minority with that.

[SChibs]

Because they're a League 2 side.

This, I thought we'd be at least matching a league 2 teams offers but maybe he was a lower earner at hibs and one of the higher ones a Cheltenham

[cheltenhamhibee]

Cheltenham don't have a lot of money, I'd also be very surprised if he's on more there, all new signings so far this season have been on frees, pretty much the same as every other season tbh, but if it comes off I will be highly delighted, he'll be seeing 1 Hibs top there every week lol

[GreenOnions]

Best of luck to big Jordon. I think he's a good player and has always done well for us when given the opportunity.

I always thought he was extremely unlucky at Hibs. When he first broke into the side he looked really promising towards the end of that season. He was either injured or suspended at the start of the following season and didn't begin it in possession of the jersey.

The outcome was bad luck in the sense that managers just made poor and fateful choices that were not good for him. In much the same vein as their preference for Ryan McGivern over Lewis Stevenson - Pat Fenlon and Terry Butcher always selected the absolutely awful Michael Nelson ahead of Jordon at centre-back. When Jordon did get a game it was generally at right back. I felt he did okay there but he started getting a bit of stick from fans as he wasn't as good there as in the middle.

Since then he's had a few injuries that have kept him out and, during what was probably the season he had the best chance of fighting for a regular start (up against only Fontaine), he was out on loan.

Once that period was over Paul Hanlon had become a huge player for us, Fontaine had done well too and then we signed McGregor and Ambrose. It was always going to be difficult getting into the side in front of those guys.

Best wishes Jordon!

My thoughts aswell, good luck to him

[Thegreenside]

Good luck to him. Been dealt a harsh hand in terms of injuries.

[green day]

God lad, unlucky with injury, I wish him all the best.

A pretty fair summary bud. Good luck to him down south. Hopefully he'll establish himself as a starter.

[Brightside]

He was on buttons at Hibs.

Cheltenham have a fair bit more money now. I know one of the directors and he is putting in plenty.

[Wilson]

God lad, unlucky with injury, I wish him all the best.

Jesus.

Good luck Jordon.

Obviously haven't seen as much of him as you guys but he always impressed me - quite surprised you didn't try to build around him. He had a strong presence and leadership qualities IMO

I liked Jordan too but would rather have Fonts tbh...more experience and reliable. Good luck to Jordan...was always decent for us when called upon

I liked big foster a big imposing centre half. I think it's a good move for him and his new club. I always hoped he would have made it at Hibs but as said injuries worked against him here.

[easty]

I've been expecting Forster to move on for a while now. The last few years we've been pretty well covered at centre half. He's not as good as Hanlon, McGregor or Fontaine, and now we have Ambrose...it's just not necessary to have Forster.

I wish him all the best down south.

[O'Rourke3]

Good luck Fozzy and all the best.

[maturehibby]

Sorry to see him go as he was a unsung hero injured a few times and caught a bad one from the Morton player that started off "Lennonbrook" also remember his goal wrongly disallowed at Tynie
Good luck son

[SON OF PADDY]

All the best Jordon 👍 thanks for all your efforts mate.👏👏👏

[Glory Lurker]

I was gutted when he got injured at Falkirk at the end of 2014/15. He had been fantastic up to that and I worried that his injury might stop us going up. It maybe did.

Cheltenham have got themselves a really good player.

Good luck, Jordon.

Sensible, reasonable, mature, better-people-than-me, intelligent folk like yourself make me feel quite ashamed of myself :embarrass. Can we no get you banned? :greengrin

[Brooster]

Makes room for the younger ones to come through. Good young ones as well.

[500miles]

Needs to be playing every week. I've no doubt he still has potential to make it at top end SPL if he is nurtured correctly and avoids injury.

[BSEJVT]

I think for his own good he had to go, there aren't many games for a 5th choice centre half to play in.

I think he will do well down there, there is definitely a centre half in there.

Never let us down when called upon

Best of luck Jordon

[heretoday]

Good news. He was not great.

[DTS]

Disappointed he's away really like him and think he's just been very unlucky with injuries and just isn't as good or experienced as the other 4. Can't blame him for not wanting to be a 5th choice considering most teams bottom 6 he'd probably start. Hope he does great down south

[Tomsk]

If his principal position had been elsewhere Hibs might have retained him. But centre back is actually a position where Hibs look quite strong at the moment -- and we've not always been able to say that. :wink:

[J-C]

Good news. He was not great.


Sometimes it's just better and classier to say nothing at all. :lips seal

[JimBHibees]

Unlucky with injury thought he had a few great games for us. Played great in the derby where Farid scored at the end. Hope the move works well.

Never let Hibs down, and loved playing for us

[Billychaotic182]

What a total pleb

[Jonnyboy]

I'm told that Cheltenham declared it as undisclosed, Billy. No doubt there will be posters on their fans messageboard foaming at the mouth at this information not being made known to them :wink:

[Vault Boy]

I hope Jordon can find regular football, he's never let us down. Has all the attributes to be a very good defender. Good luck Foz.

[TelaStella]

Hope it all works out well for him. A good young pro with a lot of potential, gutted it's never really worked out for him here. Stuck by the club through thick and thin as well

Aye ok, that is far from what i have heard from 2 current directors who i have known for many a year
