Football initiative scores with female fans


Chesterfield FC’s Women at the Game event, staged recently when the Spireites faced Eastleigh at the Proact, has been hailed a success. Held as part of a nationwide


initiative to encourage more females to attend football matches, the event was attended by around 60 women. They mixed with VIP guests before taking their seats in the stand. Women at the Game was


introduced by the late Jacqui Forster. Her widower, Pete Baker, who attended the match, praised the club’s efforts. He said: “Jacqui loved her football. She wanted to reach out to women who liked football but had never attended a live game, to remove the fear factor of what’s beyond the turnstiles. “It was great to see


Chesterfield putting a lot of effort in to get a large number of ladies to attend the match in a welcoming environment – exactly what Jacqui wanted.”
