Now that would be funny.

If they got the stadium in the deal they have a fighting chance, if they have to pay Allen rent then they are doomed.

As I read it, the £1M Loan from the Council was secured against the ground.

They are intending to increase their community work within the Chesterfield and north Derbyshire area. Hence why two councils agreed them the £1million loan, and another council is considering an additional loan.
Sounds a good way to go, however whether it can sustain a professional football club remains to be seen.

There's nothing to stop them eventually getting back up to what they once were as a league club now, which in honesty is good to see for any club. Hopefully it takes them a long time to get to that and they have at least another 4 years of struggle down there, with a nice little trip to the Conference North.

Makes you wonder what else they've failed to spot. Question mark against their scrutiny, especially as they thought they would get the Liam Cooper money. I suppose it puts more importance now on the Sam Morsey sale.STAGS FOR LIFE wrote:Parkinsons Perm wrote:https://www.derbyshiretimes.co.uk/sport/football/new-chesterfield-fc-owners-very-disappointed-after-missing-out-six-figure-sum-liam-coopers-leeds-united-premier-league-promotion-2939977
