I am really pleased to see who got the votes this week as it is a new member that has been a breath of fresh air, particularly in that musty old history room! 
Although a lifelong Chesterfield fan, he is hoping to become a bit more local and may even be in BB for the arrival of his team! It would be good to meet him at Plainmoor at some point this season and maybe a pre-match carvery beckons?
Anyway, many congratulations to Mr Wildebeeste on becoming top dog for the week!
Hope the season is good for you and that you don't have a dilemma about what part of Plainmoor to stand in on 19 January 2013
That really is a dilemma, Stefano. Obviously as a lifelong Chesterfield fan I should stand on the Babbacombe end but the club's followers embarrass me so much I think I'll feel happier sitting amongst the more polite and well-behaved Torquinians. I wasn't there last time the two sides met at Plainmoor but we all know what went on before the kick-off. I'm referring to this, of course:

Now, that is really shameful.
At Hillsborough last season I was offered out by a bloke with a child sitting in his lap, after asking him to move from my seat. This is considered acceptable behaviour by travelling fans. The heated argument that followed was broken up by some hooligans, not for United Nations-type reasons but on the grounds that the loudmouth and I should have been smacking the Wednesday fans rather than each other. How sweet!
In fact, Saturday afternoons when the team is playing away are the best time to visit our lovely market town since it means that the dregs of the local population are away insulting and making silly threats of violence against the citizens of Shrewsbury, Bradford, Crewe etc.
So I think I'll plump for Bristow's Bench in January. Warm a seat up for me!
