Chesterfield FC

Chesterfield Football Club, commonly known as the Spireites due to the distinctive 'crooked spire' of St Mary and All Saints Church in the town, is a professional football team based in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, England. Founded in 1866, the club has a storied history and plays its home matches at the Technique Stadium, which opened in 2010.

Historically, the club has fluctuated between the lower divisions of English football, enjoying periods of success including league titles in the lower divisions and notable cup runs. Chesterfield's most significant achievements include reaching the FA Cup semi-finals and winning the Football League Trophy.

The club's traditional colors are blue and white, and they have a strong local following. Chesterfield FC is known for its community involvement and the development of young talent through their academy system. After facing financial difficulties and relegation from the English Football League (EFL) in recent years, Chesterfield has been striving to climb back up the English football pyramid, competing in the National League, the fifth tier of English football, as of my knowledge cutoff in 2023.
