This.. I've been a follower of events in Chesterfield for a long while and  I remember the threads on Bob's Board questioning not only where some pretty large receipts from transfers had gone but there was also issues around some big raffle the club ran. The fall out from that I believe resulted in threats of court action by the powers that be against individual posters on there effectively banning them from posting.


Was that the raffle where the advertised prize didn't actually exist and the person who was announced as being the winner  was actually a made up name ?

I think that's the one, it went viral on a Twitter thread which I can't find now.

You might very well say that Moosey. I couldn't possibly comment.

I don't think it's a coincidence that our 1998 glory season came after we splashed out £950k on Donovan, Groves, Black and Burnett.

With the two Wembley appearances and other cup runs we probably made that investment back in the same season.

Might be a lesson there.

But we received 1m for oster prior to splashing the cash.

Quoted from promotion plaice

Unless I've got it wrong their chairman is owed £9 million and takes not a penny back from the club......you don't know how lucky you are.



If he isn't taking any money back from the club then surely that £9 million is a gift and as such isn't owed anything.

I think he means the chairman does not take a wage or dividends, I would suspect the 9 mil will be loans like most other chairman who put money in.

I noticed he said the player budget for next season is going to be cut from 2.5 mil to less than 1 mil no matter what league they are in , a few on here would say thats a lack of ambition not sensible management of the club
