I'm genuinely surprised how many people have said they'd go to other teams in the football league.

But maybe it depends on what place football has in your life. For me personally, my Dads took me to town games since 2001, and since then, that's been OUR time. On away games, i'm always with my best mate, and in a similar way, that's where most of our memories come from. So to me, it isn't just about the football and loyalty, its the fact that the club holds so much of my social life and family memories. No other club could replace that. With how expensive football is, bar the odd new ground or day out, i'd just watch it on television. I mean, why else would you pay the obscene amounts we do, if you didn't utterly love that particular club?

Only way I can see myself supporting another club, is if there was a phoenix club, led by Spireites, with a similar name and in the local area. Like an AFC Wimbledon.

I used to be a professional actor, and without football, i'd probably just concentrate on that more, with my weekends becoming forever free.

I answered it when the question was "who in League One would you support?". The reality is, such a scenario doesn't bear thinking about.

If we're talking as if chesterfield didn't exist and I had to pick a league one club - it'd probably be Rochdale. Northern, humble, ground like saltergate, great pies, good chippy, spends within their means.

Without the Gills, I would watch Truro City a lot more. It was just from league clubs, logically it would have to be Plymouth

Bristol Rugby. Same ground, init.

Though Forest Green Rovers would be a team I'd see more often than I have so far.

Maybe Crystal Palace as they are quite close to me.

Chelsea and Fulham are geographically closest but I ain't supporting either of them! (Fulham at a stretch if I had to!)

If I was a fan of a London club that went bust, then no question I would start following Brentford.

I'm not though, and I am in fact..

I wouldn't support whoever it was, just go and watch every now and then for something to do.

If we were however to actually go bust, then my love for the game would die. Only a Wimbledon style Phoenix club would have any real hope of drawing me back in.

I live, breathe, talk, and work CFC, second only to my family and friends.

That's what I meant by 'start following' AS.
My post below that though pretty much sums up my real feelings.

Fair play. Colchester need all the support they can get right now.

I know! I was just messing about!

Fully aware of your adoration of the mighty Crawley!

Are you a 3 or 4 legged stool, Mr Stool?

Just imagine the scenario, last minute of the playoff semi final,2nd leg. Chesterfield v Swindon....Gary Roberts pops up with a last minute winner and wheels away in delight having secured CFC a place in the final at Wembley v Sheffield United.

I can dream, can't I??

I'm not really a stool, it's a play on words, you silly billy! :)

We'll almost certainly be at home in the second leg semi final so your scenario seems unlikely!

You've already beaten us in the freight rover trophy final a few years back so we'll take the play-offs this year thanks Mr Spire!

I know it'd be at the CG, just couldn't be arsed to correct it once I'd put Chesterfield first.

I thought you'd have known that you Silly Billy.
