Chesterfield Football Club is an English football club based in Chesterfield, Derbyshire. The club currently plays in Football League Two, the fourth tier of English football. Despite being the 4th oldest Football League club in England, they have spent most of their existence in the lower divisions of the English league and have never played in the top flight. The club enjoy a fierce local rivalry with near neighbours Mansfield Town, as well as other rivalries with Notts County, Derby County, Nottingham Forest, Rotherham United, Sheffield Wednesday, Sheffield United, Grimsby Town and Doncaster Rovers. Chesterfield's most notable successes came in the 1990s, when they won the Division Three playoff final at Wembley in 1995 and reached the FA Cup semi-finals two years later. They were the first club from outside the top two divisions to reach this stage of the competition since 1984 (Plymouth Argyle). Wycombe Wanderers repeated the feat in 2001. Chesterfield play their home games at Saltergate. It has a capacity of 8,504, and is one of the oldest football grounds still in use today. However, the club is planning to build a new ground adjacent to the A61 on the outskirts of the town, on a redeveloped site formerly occupied by the Dema Glass factory. It is expected to be a 10,500 all-seater stadium. Formal planning permission has now been confirmed, the club anticipate the ground will be ready during the 2009-10 season. In March 2007, Roy McFarland was dismissed as the club's manager, and replaced by his assistant Lee Richardson.
[edit] OverviewThe fourth oldest club in The Football League (after Notts County F.C, Nottingham Forest and Sheffield Wednesday, although some claim that Stoke City are the second oldest). Although there are claims that Chesterfield was founded in 1866. The first official document was a notice in a local paper placed by members of Chesterfield Cricket Club, which was dated 19 October 1867. They were first admitted to The Football League in 1899, when they were elected to the Second Division. The present Chesterfield FC was formed as Chesterfield Municipal in April 1919 Chesterfield has spent most of their history in the lower divisions, and have never played in the English top flight. The team's most notable achievement of recent years occurred in 1997, when they reached the semi-final of the FA Cup, losing to Middlesbrough in a replay following a 3-3 draw at Old Trafford. The first match should have however been a win for Chesterfield, after referee David Elleray missed the ball crossing the Middlesbrough goal line line in extra time, when TV replays shown it clearly did. The mistake is often remembered as one of the biggest refereeing decisions in the history of the competition. In the summer of 2008 Chesterfield are due to change ownership from their fan run club to a private owner Chris Taylor, a local property tycoon with an estimated value of £6.8 million; this is in coincidence with their new stadium at Whittington Moor due in 2010, for which planning permission was granted in July 2008.[1] [edit] History
