Monday 25th October 2010

Now, we all know that many fans would do anything for their football team, but Chesterfield Football Club has been amazed by the response to requests to give blood during the NHS Blood and Transplant Service sessions at the B2net Stadium.


Mascots Billy Blood-Drop and Chester-the-Fieldmouse with representatives from the NHS Blood and Transplant Service and Chesterfield players (L-R) Jack Hunt, Scott Boden, Jamie Bowery and Craig Clay before the CFC v Shrewsbury game.

Already the first day, next Monday 1st November, is fully booked.
 
Due to an overwhelming response, a second date has been added and bookings are now being taken for Sunday 21st November.

There will be two sessions on this second day from 10.00am to 1.00pm and from 2.00pm to 3.30pm.
 
Normally walk-in donors are welcome, but with such a high demand for the sessions, bookings in advance are being advised by ringing 0300 123 23 23.
 
Donor Care Supervisor Diane Carson said: "We have had an unbelievable response for our first sessions at the B2net Stadium next week and are now taking bookings for a further date." 
 
Chesterfield FC Chief Executive Carol Wilby said: "Giving blood is such a special gift which can help so many people, so we are delighted that there has been such an overwhelming response to giving blood at the B2net."

All those booked in for next week's sessions are also in with a chance to get something amazing back - with everyone giving blood on Monday 1st November entered into a free draw for the chance to win a Spireites VIP Matchday Hospitality Experience for 2 at the B2net Stadium later in the season.
 
The two fully booked sessions on 1st November are from 12.15pm to 3.00pm and from 4.30pm to 7.15pm.
