On Saturday 27th April 2013, I went to the Proact Stadium to watch Chesterfield play Exeter City and bid farewell to Spireites legend Jack Lester, who was taking part in his last ever competitive match.

Chesterfield 2-1 Bournemouth – League 2 – The Last Game at Saltergate
After 10 years for me, 33 years for my Dad and 139 years in total, the final countdown on Chesterfield’s home of Saltergate finally reached zero. Chesterfield’s game against Bournemouth was the last game ever to be played at Saltergate, before the side move to the B2net stadium next season.We took plenty of photos on this brilliant, yet sad day.
Accrington Stanley 2-0 Chesterfield – League 2
On Saturday 1st May I made my first ever visit to Accrington Stanley’s Crown Ground to see Chesterfield’s final away game of the season.
