Spireites shelve plans to leave Saltergate

April 3, 2008

League Two side Chesterfield have edged closer to playing in a new stadium after submitting planning application to the council.

The bid documents plans to completely regenerate the Whittington Moor area of the town, which was formerly used as a glass manufacturing warehouse.

Should the plans be accepted, the club potentially could depart their Saltergate ground towards the end of next year.

The ambitious proposal embodies business premises and a supermarket which will fill the twenty two acre site.

Saltergate, originally named the Recreation ground, has been the home of the Spireites since 1871 and is a ground which I always enjoy going to due to the fact that it has character – which in many cases is missing from newer stadiums.
