BRIEF HISTORY of the CHESTERFIELD FOOTBALL CLUB
(reproduced from 'Wikipedia' pages)
Chesterfield Football Club is an English association football club based in Chesterfield,
Derbyshire, which plays in League One, the third tier in the English football league system.
The club were founder members of the Football League Third Division North in 1921–22 and have
remained in the Football League since that time. While they have never played in the top
flight, they rose to the second tier twice in the 1930s. Chesterfield play their home games
at the 10,504 capacity Proact Stadium, having moved from their historic home of Saltergate
during the summer of 2010.
Chesterfield's most notable recent 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 Plymouth Argyle in 1984). In May 2011 Chesterfield secured the League
Two title, but held onto their place in League One for a single season. In 2011, Dave Allen
was given full ownership of the club and Chris Turner was appointed as the club's new Chief
Executive. The 2011/12 season saw Chesterfield secure the Johnstone's Paint Trophy with a 2–0
victory over Swindon Town. A return to Wembley for the final of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy
was secured in 2014, with Chesterfield finishing runners-up after losing 3–1 to Peterborough
United. On 3 May 2014, Chesterfield were crowned champions of League Two for a record fourth time.
