Jack’s a Spireite, and the Spireites don’t like me very much!

I’d half forgotten to mention Jack Lester’s move to Chesterfield following his release from the Reds in Smoulderwood’s cull; so I’ll mention it now since I have Chesterfield on my mind for other reasons (as I shall explain below).  Whilst I think that letting Jack move on was a sensible decision (dependent on summer signings, of course), I was a little sad to see him leave - whilst he has questionable traits he certainly showed a willingness to work and was a tricky customer for defenders.

So naturally I wish Jack well with his new club, a localish one so presumably that minimises the need for him to move etc, which I’m sure is a relief.  I was surprised he didn’t opt for a League One move, he’s obviously opted for convenience over league as I’m sure he would’ve found a club at this level - but it’s for the Spireites he’ll be turning out in League Two, so fixtures depending, he not be far away should anyone have any withdrawal symptoms of his diving antics!

The reason this came back to mind was because I got a snooty email from the webmaster of the Chesterfield FC website owing to a couple of pictures I had saved way back in February following our visit there - when one of the photographs taken by Tina Jenner had a caption referring to on loan midfielder David Prutton as “a random tramp” - which whilst unprofessional, was certainly amusing - but it seems my pointing this out and posting a screenshot of this didn’t tickle the funnybone of those in charge of the content on the website, as such I’ve removed the pictures at their request.

Pity really, and I bet none of you would’ve even looked at that particular article had I not just drawn attention to it again!
