Air Ambulance Saves Supporter

The Chesterfield v Lincoln game was held up for for 30 minutes and an entire football crown saw a man have his life saved I think we can all now really appreciate the work of the St John’s Ambulance, the match day stewards and of course the Air Ambulance serve for their effort in the game against Lincoln City

One of the Lincoln supporters has taken the initiative to set up a Just Giving page to donate to the air ambulance service.

Air Ambulance Lifts Off

Over 6000 people today witnessed events at the game I thought that someone must have died in the stand right in front of us, but it seems the person in question is still in hospital in Derby, if everyone gave a little to the Air Ambulance  it would go a long way. Also the club has announced a match day collection, which I am sure will have most of us chipping in.

Off the field rumours abound as usual about who current consortium might be who are going to take over the club and if they even exist at all? Last week Ashley Carson informed us that things would be moving forward in 14 days, well that leaves til Friday of next week for the mystery benefactors to come forward. However when Mr Carson said that things were as good as signed and sealed with the Chinese bid and then Dave Allen said they weren’t and made some rather unflattering comments about their offer, it makes fans wonder if they can actually believe a single word that comes out of the club.

One thing is for sure, the Chinese people did actually exist, because they were seen at games.

When Dave Allen says that fans need to be “Careful what they wish for” it sounds ominous, personally I’d wish for reasonable business people who could run a third tier football club on lower costs than the current regime has squandered, a bit like Barrie Hubbard used to do.

Currently most Spireites are hoping that, contrary to rumour, Reg Brearley, the former Sheffield United owner has nothing to do with the future of our club, having done a little research on the gentleman it seems he has a “colourful” financial past which has never seemed to have ended well.

The EFL Appendix 3 has an owners and directors test, which is intended to protect the image and integrity of the League and the well being of the clubs; you can read the details here https://www.efl.com/-more/governance/efl-rules--regulations/appendix-3---owners-and-directors-test/ although whether the EFL actually apply any of these tests is another matter. Let’s cast our minds back and look at some of the characters who were allowed to take over at Portsmouth, for example, when they went bust.

6 wins now needed from 11 games to stay up, it’s not looking likely that we can do it.
