Shez doing his best is not enough for us. I won't step foot in Boundary Park until the owners have gone. Infact it's not even mediocrity it's abject rubbish.

I heard stories a few years back about the Lemsagams swanning around The Lowry Hotel with their clients enjoying the facilities and some people that work their thinking they were a right couple of arrogant chancers.

They seem to run a payment list. If you are luck you can get moved to the priority list. In the first couple of AL years the excuses were we are waiting for money from the owner to be deposited. In the past 2 years it has been, we are waiting for a deposit from the EFL or TV or some other source. There was definitely a change in the excuses which suggested to me the club had become self sustaining in the main. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For NLS we went non segregated for all games except Kent derbies where the police restricted numbers to 300. Nobody knows How far along the black netting will be next season. Some of you will remember the ground from when you knocked us out of the FA Cup a few years back. Hello Marco Yes I remember our day out at Maidstone very well, a decent pub up near the prison and your catering team were great even going as far to supply gravy for the pies (Northern Boys Love Gravy!!). We were so well treated by your fans, the staff, the stewards even the odd policeman/woman that when I got home I remember sending the club an e-mail complementing them on the club, it's staff and organisation in general. Something we are well short of here!!! Good luck next season - but remember we need to be back in the football league so be gentle on us!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Sadly the Swan pub is no more, but plenty of other options in the town when you next visit. Based on observations of similar clubs who come down, I predict lower mid table in your first season, before becoming a play off regular (assuming you sort the problems that brought you here). As others have mentioned, it’s a tough old graveyard of a league to escape from, with more big clubs than our last time. We don’t have a new stand to pay for this time and are generally well run, so quite hopeful of survival. And yes, we’ll be insufferable if we take a big scalp. I last visited Oldham when you were Premier League, so quite the change. Best of luck for next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They take your card details when you check in, so I don't see how he's got away with it, but, then again, I don't know how it actually works. Pity I didn't see him on one of my visits. Then again, perhaps for the best. I wouldn't like to be barred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably for mere mortals like us and not for the likes of big Abs and Mourinho etc. Anyway he says it wasn't him who stayed there for a few months and he didn't sign anything so the £70k+ debt isn't his .

The club was sold to Chesterfield FC Community Trust by the previous owner, Dave Allen in August 2020. The implication is that the Trust owns the stadium but I can find no authentic confirmation of this. The initial cost to build the stadium in 2010 was £13m.

From The Derbyshire Times: ”The Chesterfield FC Community Trust, which is a charity, has bought the club from Dave Allen after acquiring loans of £500,000 from Chesterfield Borough Council and Derbyshire County Council. The deal is subject to National League approval, but we are told it is a formality. The £1m loan from the councils has been used to buy the club and run it going forward.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
