Spireites in trouble

Chesterfield face the threat of administration after the chairman and a number of directors resigned.  They need to find £500,000 before Christmas to cover expenses.

No one has expressed any interest in buying the club.   The town is relatively small (population 71,000) and quite close to the two clubs in Sheffield.   Many larger towns only manage to support Conference clubs, although there is a long football heritage.
