Fantastic! A great decision from the club and hopefully something to learn from for the future. Well done to the supporters who stood up to oppose the event. 👏👏👏.
It has been confirmed that the Barlow Hunt Ball, which had been scheduled to take place at the stadium on January 27, has been cancelled.

There's no podcast this week (Thurs 23) but how about a Christmas message from the amazing PAUL COOK. A full episode with Paul will be out in the New Year!. Thanks for your support around the podcast this year, an amazing first year! Here's to more in 2022. Merry Christmas!

Today we saw a team full of heart with attractive football to match. Huge credit to Danny Webb, a man full of integrity. MOTM performances all over the pitch. Both teams proved you can play football on that pitch today. 👏👏👏🍻.

If we see we a goal in Chesterfield vs Barnet game this weekend as good as Asante's from 2020 then we will be a very lucky crowd. Thanks Akwasi! 🩵

When I spoke to Ollie Banks back in May I remember coming off the zoom thinking 'I bloody hope he comes back one day'. What a signing he has been! Outstanding again tonight. Thanks @obanks_14 👍🔵⚽️.

For a bit of fun I commissioned a German Heavy Metal musician to make a new Rammstein inspired @ChesterfieldFC anthem. 🤟. Perfect to run out to tomorrow night?. The song is below but you can hear the whole story here

Following the club is just so much fun at the moment, isn't it. You can't help but love every single player in the squad. The management team know how to turn a game on it head, and the noise from the supporters is incredible. It's just brilliant right now.

After over three years I’ve decided that Legends of a Spire is coming to an end. It’s been a huge honour to talk to so many footballers, managers and fans over the last few years and hope you’ve enjoyed the podcasts. 1/5.

Earlier in the year my good friend Volodymyr (@spireitelviv) got me a FC Karpaty Lviv shirt and was getting ready to post it to me. Then the war began. Today it arrived and it's beautiful! Always standing in solidarity with Volodymyr and the Ukrainian people. 🇺🇦

After giving it some thought I've decided not to release a podcast this week. There is only one legend we should be celebrating this week and that's the great Ernie Moss. I'll be back with more Legends of the Spire next week. Take care, Dave💙.

On the 80th minute today, I went to the toilet (age isn't it). As I walked back out of the tunnel, the play started for Dobra's goal. I stood at eye level with the players as they worked and finished that goal, and it was the most wonderful sight.

Although everyone feels awful right now I have faith that in Paul Cook and Danny Webb we have a pair that will be able to give the players the support that they need but will also be able to help them turn this pain into motivation going forward. 💙 #spireites.

Happy Birthday to every Spireites favourite dead-ball specialist @Shinner144!. Here's a beauty of a free kick against Barnsley at Saltergate in 2005. (p.s we must record that podcast sometime. I'll be in touch)

When you watch something like the Dele interview it's a good opportunity for supporters to reflect on their own behaviour towards footballers too. Especially on platforms like this. They are generally a great bunch of people and don't deserve the flak that comes their way.

Hi everyone. I've decided to have a bit of a summer break from the podcast. After 15 months, loads of interviews and only missing a few weeks I want to spend some time to take a step back and decide what's next. 1/2.

As we have no new podcast today I'd encourage everyone to listen back to my chat with our @spireitelviv friend, Volodymyr Holod. You'd struggle to find anyone more passionate about @ChesterfieldFC than Volodymyr! . Sending our love from the UK. 💙.

Cook needs to go back to what was keeping this team ticking - Jones, Williams and Fitzsimons.

Joined the club as an attacker and went to full back. Technically gifted with the engine to match. Always dependable and a fan favourite. The similarities between Drew and Mandy becoming more and more apparent.

When I emailed John Duncan's LMA email address last September (with fingers crossed) he got back to me straight away, more than happy to help and give me some of his time. That hour in his company was so incredible. An amazing, generous, funny man.💙.

Thoughts on yesterday? . 🔵We deserved at least a point. 🔵Akinola excellent leading the press. 🔵Colclough a good LB option against teams that will play a low block. 🔵Excited to see McCallum come in. On to Tuesday. Heads up Spireites!.
