Talk:Chesterfield F.C.

message: I'm actually working on this article for the German wikipedia. In a reference book ("When Saturday comes. The half descent football book") I'm reading about the foundation day dating from October 19th, 1867 during a meteting of the Chesterfield Cricket Club at the County Hotel in Saltergate. In your Wikipedia article it says 1866. What time is correct and in case of 1866, has anyone more details? Regards --Vince2004 16:03, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The use of that source is dubious at best. Even the club cannot bring itself to outright state that it was founded in 1866. It simply says it "supports the widely-held belief". Wikipedia deals with facts not beliefs. That date was actually invented by a club director. Even the 1867 date is for another club that folded in the 1880s.

text: I suggest you read WP:CIVIL to avoid getting banned. It is not the club which is dubious but the claim itself. Until recently the article you are using as your reference supported the 1919 date. The problem with the current version is that it doesn't actually claim that the club was formed in 1866. It uses very woolly wording probably because the club historian knows that the date is false. He was the one who discovered its dubious origin. As you have so much faith in him I decided to use the article he wrote on the subject as the source. It starts "The current Chesterfield FC dates from April 1919...".

text: Wikipedia is not here to toe the line of Chesterfield F.C. Perhaps you should read WP:Primary as this clearly comes under club propaganda. However if you insist on a official source for the 1919 date then you can go here. The article has since been removed but demonstrates the clubs inconsistent line on its foundation date. As you are insisting on a 'official' source I've gone ahead and used it. Note also that it is written by the club historian. As I noted above he was the one who originally debunked the 1866 date. So he in no way supports the claim. Eckerslike (talk) 19:07, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

replies: text: I have a book on English clubs that devotes six pages to Chesterfield (it's currently used to source some of the bullets), so I might be able to help. But you'll have to wait a few hours as I don't have it with me right now. Alzarian16 (talk) 12:41, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

message: I have removed the following statement from the Stadium section...
"On 15 February 2013, Derbyshire County Council have granted planning permission to Chesterfield Football Club to build bronze statues outside the Proact Stadium of club 'legends' Jack Lester and Jason Lee. Estimated at a cost of £2,500,000 work is to begin at the end of the season (2012/2013)"
The reason I have removed it is because it I believe it to be vandalism. Firstly there is no source listed for the where this information comes from. Secondly Jason Lee is not really a legend for the club as he barely played and only scored once. Thirdly I could find no mention of this on the chesterfield fc website and finally the price tag seems over inflated for two statues and both the players listed and price seem to have changed a number of times in a short space of time which also happened to coincide with april fools day. This website - http://www.chesterfieldpost.co.uk/sport/chest_fc/09_2010/sports_cfc_00000113.html also seems to indicate that it is an april fools joke. Zeb 04:14, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

message: There is something wrong about the dates in this passage I think:
"Chesterfield secured sixth-place in League One at the end of the 2014–15 campaign, and went on to lose 4–0 on aggregate to Preston North End in the two-legged play-off semi-final.[18] Cook departed at the end of the season and was replaced as manager by Dean Saunders. On 14 November 2016, majority shareholder Dave Allen resigned from his roles as chairman and director of the club.[19] This signaled a crisis, and four days later a further four directors resigned from their roles.[20] It was announced that Chesterfield was openly up for sale, and desperately needed some kind of investment in order to avoid administration. Mike Warner was installed as chairman on 19 November.[21] Manager Saunders was then sacked in December 2015 and replaced by Danny Wilson."
Can anyone correct it? I don't have the sources.Spinney Hill (talk) 09:09, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
