Saltergate, officially the Recreation Ground, is the historic home of Chesterfield Football Club, and was in use from 1871 until the club’s relocation in July 2010, a 139 year history that made it one of the oldest grounds in England.
The football stadium, located in the heart of Chesterfield town and tightly surrounded by housing, underwent only limited additional development after a new main stand was opened in 1936. Although plans to develop the site were explored, the club’s fans ultimately voted in favour of developing a new ground in a 2006 ballot. From the 2010-11 season, the team switched to the new B2net Stadium located in the Whittington Moor area of the town.
The club announced that following the its departure, Saltergate would continue in use by the Chesterfield FC Community Trust for its Saturday Morning Club and Summer holiday Soccer Camp ‘for the foreseeable future’.
