Well done spireites

[Half Bond Jls]

Like others have said, loads of these townies like Barnsley and Chesterfield support us but diehards from these towns hate the Sheffield teams. So bollox to them.

 

[Charlieblade]

Delighted to add my congratulations to a local club doing so well.

I only draw the line at Hull because my first ex wife lives there.

I would not object to a pre-season friendly at the SMH Stadium.

I seem to remember there was a decent real/craft ale pub near the ground. Very small boozer, not sure of name?

Derby Tup perhaps?

Unless it is me cracking up ( wouldn't bet against it !! ) , and the above is complete bollocks !!

The trauma it would cause on here if Silent Blade was proven to have missed one.

It would be like being told Ben Ben was a minute off!

Good to see all records have been removed from the archives so normal service can resume

Well done Chesterfield watched the Boreham Wood game thoroughly deserved but Cooky will need to strengthen considerably for L2.

It wouldn't have been possible for us to play Twente on Friday evening 6th August and then fly back to play Chesterfield in next day!

Always preferred Mansfield.

Spireites fans can rot in shit with their 'chip on their shoulder' mentality for all I care. Hope they crash out of the league again soon. Can't stand em'.

As a place though, I like quite Chesterfield. Many happy memories playing cricket at Queens Park.

I work in 'tarn', and they are a good set of lads, all have a soft spot for the blades, and, like Rotherham, call the wendies-pigs.
That'll do for me

Must have been the January game then !! What I do remember is , it was my first away game ( aged 11 ) and was taken by my next door neighbour and his lad . Because of the unrest around the ground he decided it would be safest to go in the old side stand , where we had prime seats as it kicked off all over the kop . Now , I am a Senior Spireite , playing walking football at the Akademy , Dronfield

 

[Hartley Hare]

Derby Tup perhaps?

Yep, I think that is the place Tyke.



Decent place for a beer before the game, just a short walk from the ground.

Admittedly, it was 2019 when I was last there.

Beer Parlour?

Good try Dav, but Derby Tup is the answer!

Genuine HMS piss the league from them.

Pleased to see them back in the league, no animosity towards them at all, used to enjoy the odd jaunt to Saltergate.

I'd like to see Halifax back in the league too, just as a bit of a boost to the otherwise miserable Yorkshire football scene.

 

[Muttley]

I've lived there for about 47 years. Back in my teens I hated them with a passion. They always seemed to beat us.
These days the hate has died down from both sides athough they still very much disike them Piggies.

 

[Tony Currie]

Have the be the lowest performing club considering their support!

Surely that's Wednesday

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Nice little local derby game for them to look forward to against pigs the season after next.

11k - plus the other 8k that got into the ground under that bit of corrugated iron round the corner!
