In 2010, Scunthorpe United were in the Championship and @hashtagutd was just a 6-aside team. With the Iron’s relegation and Hashtag’s promotion, there will be one level between the two. Crazy.

The man that believed in him at Ipswich, the man who brought him with him to this football club, and he never let’s him down. A heartwarming moment between Cook and Dobra, who ran straight to his manager after his goal. Let’s win this league next season. #Spireites

From what I’m being told and reading looks like he is off. What an absolute pleasure it has been to see him in a #Spireites shirt, such a nice guy and natural goalscorer. Really hope he kicks on. He’s been so respectful to the club through this saga as well - worth noting.

Saturday is a massive game, but it’s also a great story about two clubs that bounced back from poor ownership, double relegations, and fear of losing their football club. Fast forward 5,6 years, and both have great owners, managers and high attendances. #Spireites #Notts

I’m told negotiations are now ongoing for the transfer of Kabongo Tshimanga between #Spireites and #BCFC . The club ideally do not want to sell but have a price. The player is more than happy after the support he received during his injury but has aspirations of playing higher.

I thought his future at the club was done after Bromley away last year. He’s been a fantastic professional all-season, a great teammate and took his chance the last couple of games. Our longest serving player at the club. One of our own. Laurence Maguire💙

There’s something heartwarming about this picture. When Cook arrived back at the club again, one of the key takeaways was he has been unhappy for last 18 months in football, and wanted to be back at a club he felt loved at, and one he enjoyed being at. Great to see #Spireites
