Welcome!

                      This is a website for the history and statistics of the Chesterfield Football Club.

                           It is not the Official website of Chesterfield FC: this can be found  here


"Sky is Blue" stands independent of the Chesterfield Football Club although it is populated and maintained by long-standing supporters who have contributed to the club’s wellbeing over many years. Any views expressed on this website are those of the individual contributor and are in no way representative of the views of the Chesterfield Football Club, its players, staff, directors or supporters.

This site is an official partner for the Heritage project of the Chesterfield FC Community Trust.  More information about the Trust can be found by clicking on the logo.
The Chesterfield FC Former Players Association was launched in 2018 to offer fellowship and support to the club's former players and officials. It is the group for all those who have represented the Club in first-team matches including those who managed them. Associate membership is available to anyone who has been contracted to the Club or has held a first team coaching position.  Membership is free.  It is a developing group where any of the members are encouraged to contribute to the aims of the group.  You can contact the Association through the Trust. Follow the CFC FPA on Twitter, here: @CFCFPA

The links at the top of the page will take you to our site's various sections, which will be populated as time permits.


Stats & records contains many detailed files on player stats, team-based stats and line-ups for every season, while a subsection named The Basics is a good starting-point for a general grounding in the club’s past.


Written items about moments and events will be under the Articles link, while the Games link is self-explanatory.


Our Biographies section will contain items on more than one hundred leading players, managers and club officials.

We will aim to upload a rich and varied selection of Images from our archive.


If you operate a history-based football site let me know and I'll add it to our Links.
