Brilliant interview!.....I feel our club is in very safe hands with Ashley and Phil onboard. A big thankyou to both of them

[@johndowning9505]

I have supported the Spireites for 67 years and to hear the Kirks speak with such passion, common sense,honesty and love for the club and the people of Chesterfield. All I can say is Thank you. Long may you Reign !!

[@exiledbluemaxonian]

A great and interesting interview, great insight and transparency of where the club are aiming for. From a Macc fan who lived 15 years in Chesterfield, well done to all Spireites.

Brilliant club in safe hands !❤

[@ClareEmbrey]

Fantastic interview a big Thankyou back to you for what you are doing for our great family/ community club. The future is in good hands. Only sorry I don’t make the matches as I now live in Spain but support the club from afar. Once a Spireite always a Spireite 👍⚽️

[@DOBS13]

Need more interviews like this, even a sit down with cookie to reflect on the season considering we barely see him😅

[@jonathanlayton378]

Great interview Ash! So happy for you and Phil - your support, enthusiasm and sheer love of the club and town is evident for all to see (and not just to those of us who know the Kirks!) All Spireites are really grateful for your backing of the club and good luck for another winning season next year!

Fantastic achievement the culmination of a couple of years hard work.Onwards and upwards All Town aren't we..

[@davidfearn1052]

As a supporter since 1947 I've seen a lot of ups and downs over the years but we mustn't get carried away and think it will be easy. We'll have to be patient and support the team whatever happens.

[@amberdy12]

v good interview

[@NoelHarrisonfan]

Seems like a genuine, nice guy.

[@markopolo8802]

Thank you Kirks 💙 wataw

[@thewonderwhys3845]

Spireites!

[@nickjohnson512]

Unlucky Dorking, glad to hear Marc still has the passion for it, just fell 6 or 7 points short in the end

[@Ashleybillyeald]

Cracking interview. If he's wanting to smash 5k season tickets why don't they extend the early bird offer

[@andynickels]

People can pay by 4 interest free instalments. That's £80 before 30th April. So who wouldn't buy before then? We got the message last season when it wasn't extended.

[@artful1967]

Because people can pay for it over 4 months thereby effectively extending it already. A business cannot start budgetting fully until they know the income. Sooner they know what they have to spend the sooner they can plan where to spend it.

[@Ashleybillyeald]

@andynickels but still even if 4 payments can be made, if they extend the offer it'll attract more fans

#Coyb Up the Spireites back to the National League.. 💯💙🤍🏆🏆🏆🏆🙌

[@crackernun1983]

Already shows the difference in leagues. That the EFL are already getting in touch and arranging the necessary help to show us the way.

[@richardbarbaraburns9868]

Mr Kirk can we have loads of money to buy 2 new defenders a decent striker who can shoot from outside the 18 yard box and a playmaker 4 defeats in 4 isn't champions type of football it's utter rubbish

[@davidsnarski1110]

#SpireiteTillIDie 💙🤍💯💪

[@crackernun1983]

We’re getting new floodlights as well??

[@cal401]

Why whats wrong with the ones we have ?

[@crackernun1983]

It’s ok telling us to get a ticket for the last game. They sold out weeks ago 😢

[@artful1967]

Get a season ticket so you don't miss out on the protion party next year :-)

[@crackernun1983]

@@artful1967 I have done this year. My shifts made it pointless this year but I’ve moved to nights. So I can do Saturday games even if I’m working and I would just miss any Tuesday home games if they fell on a workday for me
