Saturday 22nd February 2014

In case you hadn't heard, Chesterfield will be travelling en masse to Wembley in 5 weeks time, where, for the second time in 3 seasons, they will compete in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy Final.

Last time, in 2012, and with John Sheridan as manager, 20,000 fans made the trip to the capital, and saw their team bring home the trophy. It's a feat that CEO of the club, Chris Turner, (left), hopes will be repeated this time around.

In an interview with The Chesterfield Post, he said he was delighted to see the team reach the final again, and discussed what impact that will have on the club going forward, both in the town and beyond.

"Everyone is thrilled, our target in pre season was promotion and emulation of the final appearance and win of two years ago. A third one would be a championship and to win the league. We're on course but we know what football's like and that hard work has to continue."

The Wembley appearance will bring welcome finance into the club but Turner says, for him, that's not the only important factor, "The gate will be 40,000 plus, and there's the TV money and memorabilia sales although for me - finances are important - but it's the prestige it brings to the town. How many clubs of our size have played at Wembley twice in three seasons?

"One of my many tasks is to make this club as high profile as I can and one way to do that is results on the pitch. And the concerts we have mean we will be opening up the stadium to people who have never been here before."

Ah yes, the concerts, which have proved to be another healthy revenue stream for the club, and one which has seen the likes of Sir Elton John (2012) and now Sir Tom Jones (below) along with other major acts playing the stadium over two nights in June.



With these concerts lined up, Chris admits they are, "Already thinking about 2015. We have to stay ahead of the game. Hopefully next year, we're challenging in the top echelons of League One.

"Paul's [Cook] talking about recruitment now and that’s important. In the future, we don't feel we need a high turnover of players - they have to be on par with what we've got now."

He concedes however that one or tow of those existing players could be on the receiving end of bids themselves and says he's not worried, "It's the natural progression of improving Chesterfield, all players should want to play at the highest level. That's way everyone's happy."

Of course the undoubted success of the new management team means that they too will be doubtless attracting the eye of other clubs and again, Turner is realistic, "Let's not be foolish - the better we are, the more chance we'll lose Paul and the management team.

"I'm confident they will be here for 2 more years. If we can keep them stable, then Championship football becomes a real possibility. My job, if that were to be the case, is to be looking for the next Paul Cook! That's football - natural progression. You can't stand still but we want Paul (left), to be here for a number of years.

"I think it would do him good to get a few years of experience under his belt. Paul Cook has been good for Chesterfield and Chesterfield is good for Paul,“

Asked whether lessons have been learned from the previous promotion year, Chris is guarded, "I wasn't here when that happened. We lost Craig Davies and never replaced him and Dean Smalley was sold to Oxford and they got a lot of goals.

"We're already taking about budgets and targets for next season. We're not going to go out and bring just anyone in - we need to improve what we've got and we already have a good team."

The budget has been a source of debate amongst clubs in the league of late and Chris is emphatic that Chesterfield's is probably not as healthy as some suspect. "I will reiterate - we will be in the top six in League Two in terms of budgets - but not top three.

"I don't speak about how much Torquay are paying their players or anyone at the top end is paying theirs - I have no interest - all I know is the wage structure we have here will not damage this club.

"We have a good budget and a good manager who has been able to utilise that budget to make us the best in the division so far."

Commenting on the 'high profile' signings like Gary Roberts, Chris says that there's one reason they are here, "The manager! Players sign for managers 95% of the time and you only have to sit down with a manager for 5 minutes to know you want to play for him.

"If I was playing for Paul Cook, I couldn't wait to get out there to play and train. He knows Gary from Liverpool and Accrington. Sammy Morsy, he's know him from a very young age, Liam Cooper from Hull - they've come here, trained, seen what's happening and know that it's a great environment for them to learn in."

The debt of the club is coming down very slowly he admits, "Football is en ever changing market. We will hopefully go into League One and the JPT final - with the concerts, that's close to a million pounds there coming through the club's accounts in the next 6-8 months.



"The Chairman (Dave Allen) (above), mentioned at the AGM that there was a shortfall of quite a lot of money - we call it a 'black hole'. In the first season here, cracks were papered over with a promotion season and then crowds were coming through the door for the next one."

Asked if It is disappointing that, despite the successful season, crowds haven't improved, Chris admits, "It's very difficult to answer. Most supporters I speak to think that this is the best football they've ever seen.

"Maybe some of the games that we've won 2-0 / 2-1, if they had been goal bonanza games of 3,4 or 5 goals on a regular basis, then that may have got people through the doors.

"There's been financial hardships for families. It can become expensive if you're going home and away. People will remember us getting 8 and 9,000 at Saltergate if we had a winning team, now we get 6,000. It's society as a whole. It's difficult for people to shell out £20 on a regular basis."

Chris (left), has this message to supporters, "The support has been fantastic this season. I've been amazed since I've been at the club.

"When I first came we weren't winning many but the level of criticism was low. The supporters, especially the away supporters, really get behind the team."

There is work to do though Chris concedes, "The most important area we need to attack is the youngsters of the town. When I first went to Hartlepool, they were on gates of 1,900 and I wanted 6,000 and people laughed at me. By the time I left we were getting 5,500 - 6,000.

"We can get to 8,000 – 9,000 on a regular basis and it's important that we get the young people of the town in. Chesterfield is going to be their team - whilst we're doing well, that's easier."
