Ashley Kirk, a director of Chesterfield Football Club, said this week: “With no immediate plans in place to build a sports bar, we felt that the best solution in the short term would be to install a container bar on the stadium car park.
“Subject to a successful planning application, this facility will be operated by a third party on a concession basis. It will be a small step towards our aim of creating an improved matchday experience for all supporters.”
