22 March 2025: EFL League 2-Chesterfield 0v0 Harrogate Town.
This would be my first visit to the new Chesterfield stadium.
My first visit to Chesterfield's new Stadium. Impressive, much more roomier than the old groud at Saltergate in the town centre. With train delays, I got to Chesterfield rail station later than I expected to meet my pal from Derby. This would severley reduce our 'drinking time' before the match. But no need to worry, we got a taxi to the stadium costing £6!
The stadium is situated amongst a shopping complex which is good for a choice of food and drink as well as your weekly shopping!
On the face of it this appeared to be an attractive fixture. A good crowd was in attendance from the home side but the support for Harrogate was somewhat disappointing.
The 1st half was an entertaining affair with both teams having chances. Harrogate started the more energetic, trobling the Chesterfield defence. But both teams managed to cancel each other out and the half ended 0-0.
During the break, the sky looked threatening and soon dark clouds filled it. As the players came out for the 2nd half, the rain began. For three-quaters of the second half, rain lashed down in torrents. Luckily, with this new all-seater stadium, we are all under cover.
Both teams effectively cancelled each other out, but it was a lively match. The torrential rain didn't help but glad I had made the visit.
Chesterfield Town Hall.
