The Spireites
Founded in 1866, Chesterfield has developed a footballing identity recognised by generations of supporters as The Spireites. SMH Group Stadium provides the setting, with East Stand and West Stand among its familiar landmarks; Football League Trophy winners (2012) and National League champions (2023/24) sit prominently in the club’s record books.
