Chesterfield history

The fourth oldest club in The Football League (after Notts County F.C, Nottingham Forest and Sheffield Wednesday, although some claim that Stoke City are the second oldest). Although there are claims that Chesterfield was founded in 1866. The first official document was a notice in a local paper placed by members of Chesterfield Cricket Club, which was dated 19 October 1867. They were first admitted to The Football League in 1899, when they were elected to the Second Division.

The present Chesterfield FC was formed as Chesterfield Municipal in April 1919.

Chesterfield has spent most of their history in the lower divisions, and have never played in the English top flight. The team's most notable achievement of recent years occurred in 1997. After beating Bury, Scarborough, Bristol City, Bolton Wanderers, Nottingham Forest (who were then in the Premiership) and Wrexham, they found themselves in the semi-final of the FA Cup, losing to Middlesbrough in a replay following a 3-3 draw at Old Trafford. The first match should have however been a win for Chesterfield, after referee David Elleray missed the ball crossing the Middlesbrough goal line line in extra time, when TV replays shown it clearly did. The mistake is often remembered as one of the biggest refereeing decisions in the history of the competition.

In January 2007 Chesterfield Football Supporters Society, the fan owned parent company, distributed the majority of its shares to members. This allowed the Club to issue shares to raise the funding for a move to a new stadium. Planning permission for a new stadium on Whittington Moor was granted in July 2008[2] and the land was signed over in February 2009. Work on the £13m stadium is expected to start in May 2009. The shortfall on the funding is to be made up by the issue of approximately 4m shares to a new investor. In June 2009 it was confirmed that Dave Allen the former Chairman of Sheffield Wednesday was the new majority shareholder.
