Nickname: Spireites

Adopting Chesterfield means England EFL League Two results start mattering to you, a club going since 1867. Not a novelty, a habit.

Worth the journey
Nearest airport is East Midlands Airport (EMA), roughly 47km out. This is not a casual away day, which is precisely why the people who do it take it seriously.
The calendar you inherit
England EFL League Two is cold-weather football: mud in February, breath visible under the lights, and a fixture list that rewards anyone who sticks it out. England does not do easy neutrals.
Deep roots
Founded in 1867, Chesterfield were playing organised football before floodlights, substitutes or televised highlights existed. You are adopting 159 years of accumulated grudges.
Loaded cabinet
8 distinct honours on record, including Third Division North (level 3). Adopt them and you inherit expectation, which is more fun than it sounds when the trophies keep coming.

Ground: SMH Group Stadium. Go in a day early, find the pre-match pub, buy the programme.
