B2Net Stadium

As we didn't have a game today i decided to pay a visit to the B2Net stadium in chesterfield, it is light years ahead of saltergate but that wouldn't be difficult, first impressions very nice it is a bit like a mini Galpharm with the curved roofs on the two main stands although the kops were basic enough , we were sat in the family stand which costs £18 and £5 for a child, the legroom was ample on a par with the Keepmoat i would say and the views as you would expect were excellent with no poles getting in your way, all the stands are standalone with no corners, the concourses were ok but a bit basic , the food was on a par with other grounds although i have to say the meat pies were excellent with real meat and not the processed crap that most grounds churn out, cost £2.50, the time it took to get served was bad it took an age and i thought it was bad at the keepmoat at halftime there was hardly any hot food left and we left the stands with 7 minuites before the whistle blew so they really need to sort that out, there are LCD tvs showing the actual match which was a good touch,for the nicotine addicts out there they also open one of the doors to let people step outside to have a fag, i parked across the road and getting away from the match was a doddle , there are loads of pubs nearby to have a pre-match drink and the locals are friendly enough, overall a pleasent afternoon out and if you get the chance i would give it a go , oh and Chesterfield won the game 2-1 playing Southend, not a brilliant performance but they stuck at it, a draw would have been a fair result..

Did Fairhurst play?

I can see why they are delighted with their new stadium, in the light of your post. Proper 'meat' pies , that's a helluva bonus and the chance to pop out for a fag............think I might change the club I support.

I thought the popping out for a fag might interest you...
