@LiamNorcliffe Expanding coverage of free tickets schools and other organisations beyond our current reach eg to Dronfield, Alfreton etc could pay dividends and sending players into schools in those areas.

Ambitious #Spireites chiefs want to increase home attendances even more and these are some of the ideas they are looking at: derbyshiretimes.co.uk/sport/football…

@TinaJennerPhoto @PhilTooley @ChesterfieldFC Look forward to it - I’ve really enjoyed your pictures over the years Tina you do a smashing job keep up the good work 👍

Today, April 7, marks the start of my 25th year as Club Photographer at @chesterfieldfc. In the lead-up to next year’s 25th anniversary, I’ll be sharing a collection of images from my archives throughout the year — plenty of memories to come. #CFCPhotoTJ25 #ChesterfieldFC

@LiamNorcliffe Excellent idea

Chesterfield are going to rename a stand after much-loved Phil Kirk. Work will start this summer: derbyshiretimes.co.uk/sport/football… #Spireites

Growth in Home Attendances in League Two Since The 2018/19 Season 📈

@Dave_Miles50 @LiamNorcliffe Which are?

@LiamNorcliffe They have to start playing too bonis's strengths otherwise we are doomed!

Will Grigg has been ruled out for the season. And there could be more frustrating injury news to follow: derbyshiretimes.co.uk/sport/football… #Spireites

@lukecfc25 Notts had ten men for most the game (and still scored twice)

Not one player turned up in the first half. Why can they turn up against Notts but not in an equally as important game in terms of the league table? They should be going out to earn this weeks wage in the second half.

@LiamNorcliffe Problem with this point is that cook bought all the players in and coached them. Personally I think our recruitment has been terrible for a long time - we sign way too many old players and when we do go scouting across Europe bonas is the best we can come up with

"It is not a shock, that is the biggest worry for me. I have managed a lot of teams and these are by far the most difficult group I have ever managed." Reaction from Paul Cook, including his team selection: derbyshiretimes.co.uk/sport/football… #Spireites

@ChesterfieldFC Dreadful team selection. Dreadful recruitment over a prolonged period. Awful at the back for years now. And becoming clear we have a big problem in the CF position. Other than that all good.

⏹️ FT.

@lugaricano @mattyglesias It’s an utter disaster - we are in a doom loop and the triple lock is a key contributor to that among lots of other factors

The UK triple lock is the singlest stupidest policy in the entire Western world, and the most damaging to the future of a country. Of course, it is also untouchable and almost undiscussed in the UK press. @mattyglesias does a big favour to the UK public here.

@cricketcelt Agree with that Nathan I’ve always had a soft spot for Notts - similar to us in some ways surrounded by bigger clubs but fans choosing the less glamorous option - we also seem to produce cracking games

Funny thing about this is I've chatted with a few of their fans out in Nottingham this afternoon and they've all been sound, the Notts/Chez beef is definitely 90% Twitter

@SteveBa99880334 It’s no better in league 2 where full on wrestling and holding now fully permitted

Top flight football has become so boring. Diving, cheating, set piece wrestling match, VAR incompetence, feigning injuries. I prefer the Championship or non league…

@CFCRobL It’s endemic in the lower leagues too - the new frontier of cheating

All rivalry and jokes aside, how on earth do you justify this being allowed? Got your arms wrapped around the opposition player? Immediate penalty. it'll soon stop. It's not even like the shirt grabbing going both ways thing, it's just brazen and so easy to give.

@Spireiteswrite It’s all quite concerning - no urgency, big question mark around our strikers, absolutely no plan b jus same formation different players, etc. the summer transfer business was terrible too so I’m not confident we could fix it this summer

Yesterday was massively disappointing, and probably just hammered home that we're not quite at the level we want to be this year. I still fully believe we'll get top 7, and then it's an absolute lottery- but whatever league we're in, Cook's got some work to do in the summer 💙

@LiamNorcliffe It’s quite worrying liam - we look so short up top

A similar story for Chesterfield today as they lacked a clinical edge in front of goal - the ratings: derbyshiretimes.co.uk/sport/football… #Spireites

@ChesterfieldFC We were so poor again today - I’m not sure what we’re trying to do. That said I’ve never seen so much unpunished holding in a game - centre half had Bonis and Grigg in a bear hug all game and never penalised - have I missed a rule change??

⏹️ Defeat on the road. #Spireites

🔝 @ChesterfieldFC's Liam Mandeville provided his ninth assist of the season at the weekend. 🤝 This is his joint-best tally for assists in a single season in the #EFL! 💪 #SkyBetLeagueTwo

@ChesterfieldFC Bonis was off the pitch because the ref had forced him to go off after the centre half elbowed him in the back of the head - the ref then could not wait to show a yellow while declining to give yellows for far worse fouls in the game - the state of refereeing is worse than ever

With a reflection on yesterday’s game against Harrogate Town, here is Tooley’s Take ⬇️ chesterfield-fc.co.uk/news/tooleys-t…

@AL2Spireite Why bring ladapo on instead of grigg makes no sense

Just got back. Still fuming. Lee Bonis: whilst your goal meant we didn't lose, your severe lack of intelligence meant we didn't win. Freddie Ladapo: you would have played better for Chesterfield had you have put a yellow shirt on & played for Harrogate.

@LiamNorcliffe I love cook but it’s not rocket science - a poor performance against bottom of the league and losing points due to ill discipline after another sluggish performance not hard to understand the frustration

"If that happens I won’t be the manager and the fans will get what they want.” Paul Cook was really angry with the reaction from some fans after the full-time whistle: derbyshiretimes.co.uk/sport/football… #Spireites

@SpireiteGazette Dear me these refs couldn’t wait to give it
