Hi all. I'm going to have a break from social media. If I'm honest I'm just tired of being drawn into the doomscrolling. I'm off to read more, spend more time outside and be more creative. My email is on my bio if you need me. Have a great summer and see you at Matlock! 🩵

Well done Walsall. They kept us at arms length over both ties. It's a great first season back in the EFL for us, and time now to rebalance the squad to have a good go at it next season. The rendition of Sailing from the travelling fans at the end said it all. 👏 👏👏

An excellent exhibition on football fanzins just opened at Leeds Libraries. Well worth a visit, and nice to see some Chesterfield content in there too. ✌️

The nine home draws have had such a huge impact on the points tally this season. Five games to go, but that's the season done. A good first season back in the EFL, all things considered.

I'm on holiday this week at sunny Flamborough, so I'm missing the match tonight. This one feels as close as you can get to a must win. 🤞

Dave - Legends of the Spire @spirelegends.bsky.social · 05/04/2025

It feels like it will be a really tough match today. Two teams in form and both with plenty to play for. Fingers crossed we can add another point or three to the tally today.

I'm finding football autobiographies from the 1940s really fascinating. Tommy Lawton phoning the local paper from a phone box to find out if he's in the England team, and Frank Swift and his 30cm finger span.

You know that Zidane film where they just follow him on the pitch for 90mins? Well, I'm doing exactly the same with Fleck tonight. What a great player.

It's so frustrating not to win that game, but I thought it was a good battle today, and Harrogate probably deserved a point for their performance. Delighted for Grigg, gutted for Donacien. 10pts from 12, so fairly content.

I think we were all really impressed with Bim at the weekend. Strength, pace, and a great attitude. It seems like he might be out of contract in the summer. Could we tempt him here permanently?

A great battling performance today. Won through sheer grit and determination. The best atmosphere in the ground for while too. Well done everyone.

We've only won 2 games since Christmas and sit 16th in the league, but that's all a bit irrelevant right now. Let's be thankful for how lucky we are as a fanbase today and enjoy the game. #Spireites

The greatest gift you can give in life is putting smiles on the faces of others. Phil and Ashley have done this in abundance, and their legacy will leave a shadow for generations.

Maybe tomorrow's match can act as a bit of a reset for us fans. The players have been through a horrendous week but will be trying to get as many points as they can this last 15 games. Leave any negativity at the turnstile. And sing loud for Ty on 12 mins. #Spireites 💙

Tyrone Williams has today undergone surgery after suffering an injury in yesterday’s game at Swindon Town. Medics will assess the extent of the injury in due course. (1/2)

All the best to Ty. It sounds like a horrible injury. Result unimportant in the circumstances.

Plenty of applause for the club today. Popped down to pick up a signed Tanton match shirt, my lads favourite (great service from Josh throughout). Then met a few of the players in the hub. They are a great bunch.

No doubt a frustrating result yesterday, but I think this work by Martin Creed sums up my thoughts.

Local chums: A man in NE Derbys / S Yorks is known as "Lal" to his pals. Is that likely to be a derivative of a more common forename? (Asking for "Lal" Trueman, our goalkeeper keeper in the early 1890s.)

Any opposition managers watching last night certainly won't be wanting to leave the counter attack option open against us.

Dave - Legends of the Spire @spirelegends.bsky.social · 07/02/2025

It was a very open game wasn't it, which is quite unusual at our ground this season. Good to be able to enjoy the last quarter of the game after the goals had flowed in.

Morning Spireites! ⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️ What a performance last night! Outstanding front to back and great to see the new guys off the mark...plus a first Chesterfield EFL goal for Ollie after 9 short years! 🫡 It must be so fun to play in a Paul Cook team in games like that. 💙

Even before their goal, it felt very midtable mediocrity today.

Dave - Legends of the Spire @spirelegends.bsky.social · 31/01/2025

Well, Olakigbe looks like he has a lot of potential and gives us that option on the right. We've all enjoyed Duffy's debut, so that looks like an astute permanent signing. Grigg back in 3-4 weeks, too. I'm still a bit gutted about McFadz mind. 😭

Dave - Legends of the Spire @spirelegends.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

I was saying exactly the same last night, its like when Evo returned under Cook. Gives us leadership and experience which is crucial.

010 1

Dave - Legends of the Spire @spirelegends.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

Hopefully we can just keep scrapping for points and then have Grigg back for the run in. All to play for.

Dave - Legends of the Spire @spirelegends.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

I really enjoyed that performance last night. Some great partnerships forming (Grimes/Fadz, Sparkes/Duffy) and lovely to see a glimpse of what Fleck can bring. Dobra outstanding again. Hopefully, we can keep adding points to the tally and keep the season exciting.

Dave - Legends of the Spire @spirelegends.bsky.social · 27/01/2025

I don't mind having another option on the left, but it just felt like the right-hand side was a bit more of a pressing concern. I'm sure there are one or two more incoming.

020 2

Dave - Legends of the Spire @spirelegends.bsky.social · 27/01/2025

So, Dylan Duffy signs. I'm a little surprised we've signed a left winger, rather than right, but maybe we will see him on either flank. We certainly needed options on the wing.
