Chesterfield reached the FA Cup semi-finals in 1997, but were relegated back to the basement division in 1999–2000.
They made an immediate return to the third tier after securing a Third Division automatic promotion place in 2000–01.
Relegated in 2006–07, they secured the League Two title in 2010–11, but were relegated from League One the
following season. In 2011, Dave Allen took full ownership of the club and oversaw progress to two League Trophy finals;
Chesterfield won the trophy with a 2–0 victory over Swindon Town in 2012, and finished as runners-up after losing 3–1 to
Peterborough United in 2014. Chesterfield were crowned champions of League Two for a record fourth time in 2013–14,
but remained in League One for just three seasons. Two consecutive relegations saw the club relegated out of the English
Football League at the end of the 2017–18 season.
Three years later, in 1884, a third entity called
Chesterfield Football Club was formed, again making
its home at Saltergate. It drew in players from the

continued as a separate club. After changing its name
to Chesterfield Town, the club turned professional in
1891 and won several local trophies in the following
two seasons, entering the FA Cup for the first time
in 1892. For the 1892–93 season, the club wore an
extraordinary playing strip of all dark blue with the
Union Jack emblazoned across the front of the shirt.
Chesterfield joined the Midland League in 1896, and
successfully applied for a place in the Second Division
of the Football League at the start of the 1899–1900
season, finishing seventh. After finishing bottom of
the League three years in a row, the club failed to gain
re-election to the League in 1909, returning to the

name of Barnet FC.
We have recently been supporting our good friend and councillor, Lisa
Rutter, who runs the Dementia Club UK in Barnet by attending Finchley
Memorial Hospital. We helped make tea, sing songs and call out quizzes,
giving the volunteer helpers support at one of their sessions. We also took
along our trophies to help stimulate memories and provide happy photos
which led to many talking about their past experiences playing football
which proved to be a very rewarding afternoon.
On the pitch, we recently had a visit from Dutch walking football team
SV Juliana 31 from Malden. They spent a wonderful two days with us, with
the boss Darren Currie handing out match-day medals too. Such was the
success of the visit, we have been invited to the Netherlands next year
to take part in a European tournament. The Bees in Europe! Who would

Notts County has always been one of my favourite away days so whilst it was sad to see them relegated
last season, I was excited to visit Meadow Lane again. Due to it being a late kick off for TV I was able to
have a nice lie in and lunch at home before leaving Leeds just before 2:30pm. We took the M1 (not that I
would know since I slept the whole way) and arrived in Nottingham around 4:45pm. We parked in our
usual place just next to ground and were inside about half an hour before kick off. A fair number of Bees
had travelled to the lovely big ground and the atmosphere was building as the teams came out for kick off.
Just 9 minutes into the game, Notts County took the lead as Boldewijin took a beautiful shot from the edge
of the box that went straight into the top corner. The game settled down but due to the strong wind and
Notts being a physical team it was clear we weren’t going to be watching the most beautiful game ever.
Our first chance came on 16 minutes when Jack Taylor’s free kick went just wide. On 24 minutes,
Mason Clark was brought down in the box with us fans hoping for a penalty but nothing was given.
However, on 29 minutes our luck changed when Callum Reynolds got his head on the end of a corner to
level the scores going in to half time. You can tell summer is on its way out as, for the first time this
season, I was back with my beloved and hot chocolate and chocolate half time combo. We had a few
chances at the start of the second half but Notts County did too, with impressive saves by Loach to stop
them scoring. We then found our mojo and nearly went ahead with Jack Taylor’s shot saved and Cheye
Alexander’s just wide. Our efforts were rewarded on 75 minutes when Simeon Akinola received a lovely
pass from Jack Taylor and chipped it over the keeper to put us ahead. It was a beautiful goal and us fans
were buzzing! No more goals came in the remaining 15 minutes but we were the team on top looking
positive going forward.
Currie and the team came over to applaud the 155 Barnet fans who were in great voice throughout.
Afterwards, me and my parents battled through the wind to make it back to car and set off back up north
stopping for food along the way. Overall, we deserved the win and it was a great 3 points to pick up. To
top it all off, I made it back to Leeds in time to go out and celebrate the win!
