Bull's fans travelling to Chesterfield on Saturday 21st August will need a fresh set of directions this season. No longer will The Spireites be occupying their traditional home at Saltergate's Recreation Ground. Instead, they will be at the new B2Net stadium in the Whittington Moor area of the town.
The new stadium has a capacity of around 10,600 and in common with most modern builds is all-seated. It has been built on the site of the old Dema Glassworks with the good news being that it is not in the middle of nowhere and is well served by local Pubs and food outlets.
All four stands have been sponsored with visiting fans expected to be housed in the Printability (North) Stand. Other stands include conference and banqueting rooms with a multi-sports and community room and sports injury clinic being found in the East Stand.
The build project started in July 2009 and will be ready for the opening match against the mighty Bees of Barnet on 7th August 2010. Image from chesterfield-fc.co.uk
