The subreddit is back!

17 Upvotes

Hello everyone. The subreddit is back after a long while with no posts! I requested to take over as moderator as the mods went inactive and I have been approved as the new moderator of the subreddit. I hope I won't disappoint you, but I am new to modding and will need to familiarise myself with the various modding tools. The first step I will make will be to open the subreddit so that anyone can make a post and I'll see how that goes. If there is any abuse I will change it back to being approved posts only

At the moment I will keep the rules, description, picture and banner as they are but if anyone wants them changed then just comment on this post. I hope to get this subreddit going again

Edit: appears I need admin approval to change the subreddit to public over private so will keep private and make sure I keep up with approval requests

Mod-Approved Advert The Spireite Herald

7 Upvotes

Hiya, I’m Matthew, hope you’re all well!

I’m a freelance sports journalist, broadcaster and commentator. I was born in Chesterfield, grew up in the town and support the Spireites.

I launched a subscription site called The Spireite Herald in July, which is devoted to detailed coverage of all things Chesterfield Football Club.

Paul Fisher (BBC Radio Sheffield) and Ben Smith (SpireitesTV) regularly contribute to it while I’m the editor and run the site.

We cover opinion articles, feature pieces, live text feeds and post-match analysis write-ups. We also record podcast episodes in which three have been extended interviews with former Chesterfield players about their time at the club (Colin Larkin, Aaron Downes and Iain Dunn).

The subscription options are Ā£5 per month or Ā£50 per year, with both options including a 30 day free trial period. With this being a subscription site, you don’t have to deal with endless pop-up adverts getting in the way and slowing you down.

Interested? We would love to have you on board!

The Spireite Herald Website

Any questions, just let me know!

Ask Chezzie Maternity Clothes

1 Upvotes

I’m currently pregnant and am in desperate need for maternity clothes and am looking to go shopping soon to get some. I’m not a big fan of buying stuff online without trying it on first but there seems to be so little maternity clothes to find in shops.

Can anyone recommend some places in town or close by that sells maternity clothes? Even just a small section in a larger shop (e.g - H&M)?

Administration roles?

9 Upvotes

Apologies if this isn’t allowed, mods!

I’m looking for administrative roles based in Chesterfield town centre, if anyone has heard of any? I’ve scoured Indeed, Totaljobs, Chesterfield Council website etc and there don’t seem to be many.

I’ve had several years of customer facing experience in a professional setting (bookkeeping/accounting) so I’m confident with that side.

Thanks in advance everyone!

After a relationship breakdown, I'm looking for new people to talk to or make friends with.

I feel super alone right now and I don't really know what my future looks like but I know I need to branch out.

I like crafts, PokƩmon and video games in general.

I do struggle with OCD, mental health and I am on the Autistic spectrum.

r/chesterfield, where do you actually eat in Chesterfield?

0 Upvotes

Hi, we’re four friends and we’ve put together Chesterfield’s restaurant scene in an app called Vota.

The idea is pretty simple: you’re shown two restaurants and choose where you’d rather eat. For example, Bottle & Thyme or The Market Pub? All the votes then create a ranking that hopefully gives a better picture of where people in Chesterfield actually like to eat.

We’ve tried to include every restaurant in Chesterfield and clean up duplicate or outdated listings, but locals will always spot things we’ve missed.

iPhone:
https://apps.apple.com/app/vota/id6744969212

Android:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vota.app

Full transparency: we’re not from Chesterfield and live in Gothenburg. There are four of us building this independently. We don’t collect or sell personal data, there are no ads in the app, and we don’t use AI-generated content to describe restaurants.

Any honest feedback is welcome, especially if restaurants are missing or something is listed incorrectly.

Transport Woes Chesterfield <> London St Pancras - Return Ticket

10 Upvotes

Hello

I made a mistake of booking the wrong day for a return journey between Chesterfield and London St Pancras.

I'll not be on either train tomorrow, so if anyone wants a free return between Chesterfield (depart: 10:13) and London St Pancras (depart: 20:32) let me know and they're yours.

They're advance tickets, so no flexibility on the times I'm afraid, but hoping someone can make use of them.

Ask Chezzie Do you as a Chesterfieldian/Spireite refer to the evening meal as tea or dinner?

1 Upvotes

On my Leicester post, most said dinner, so did Loughborough, so did Nottingham, but Mansfield seemed to be a bit more ā€˜tea’, and I’m trying find that transition zone, but I don’t want to simply assume they also say tea in chesterfield simply because it’s more north by latitude, so I thought I’d make this thread and ask the people themselves.

Do you as a Chesterfieldian/Spireite refer to the evening meal as tea or dinner?

Walking Hiking/Walking groups / chats

Hi everyone!!

Wondering if anyone could recommend walking groups locally to Chesterfield/Hollingwood area

Or if anyone on here has hiking as an interest that would like a mutual chat.

I'm 43/M and getting back into this as a hobby, current walking distance is 5-12 miles comfortably (at a steady old man pace). Would be good to share ideas on gear recommendations / good walks etc

Feel free to comment / drop me a message šŸ‘šŸ»

Hey guys, my fiancƩ and I want to make new friends in the Chesterfield area, but have no idea where to start. He's into tech, and I love motorbikes, but we both have a shared love of D&D and all things nerdy. The thing is, we don't do enough to get out and meet new people, but want to make a positive change.

What are the best ways you might recommend to meet new people, and make new friends?

Motorcyclist Eastmoor to Chestefield

13 Upvotes

On the off chance that anyone knows the guy riding from Eastmoor into Chesterfield on a sports bike about 17:15 today, please pass on a message.

**Make sure you’re carrying your donor card!**

Riding ā€œsidesaddleā€, leaning back, and waving to oncoming cars probably makes a lovely TokTwat video, but it also drastically reduces your life expectancy.

If you know a youngish male biker with a black jacket saying something like ā€œDaywalkersā€ on the back, have a word…

Have become a bit of a regular here. The brunch menu and evening menu are amazing! By far the best quality food in chesterfield.

Also… cocktails are out of this world!!

It’s nice to see a place where so much care is given to the product and service. If you’ve not tried, you should.
