In Persian-Farsi, the word "Chesterfield" very closely resembles the words "فیل", (pronounced "feel") which means elephant, and "چس", (pronounced "choss") which means fart. When pronounced together, چس فیل, meaning elephant fart, sounds almost identical to Chesterfield. The place name became a joke in Iran when popcorn was introduced to the country through the Chesterfield popcorn brand, which obviously was ridiculed, but the name stuck. These days, Chesterfield in Iran means both elephant fart and popcorn. Popcorn is not terribly popular in Iran, though the sound it makes when the kernels burst is a guaranteed laugh for small kids nationwide. Moral of the story is, Chesterfield FC is Elephant Fart Football Club. Google translates چس فیل as "pop-corn" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legendaryswan Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Watched it last night, best side won, had to weather a late storm of sorts, two decent goals, Rowe with a near post header @ a corner and King with a near post bullet from distance, so its off to Solihull for Chezzy, tough gig, Rowe went off but didnt look too damaged but its hard to tell.. Think they were lucky to keep 11 men on the pitch, some tasty challenges midway through 1st half that could have turned red on another day.

matthefish2002 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 I wont be jumping about the room but I hope Chesterfield manage to get back to the Football league. Like to see other local sides do well (Apart from Sheffield United and Leeds) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chesterfield or Grimsby for me. Always enjoyed watching Grimsby when Alan Buckley was manager. They used to play some decent football.

bradowl Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Clubs that drop down to National League find it very difficult to get back up, not helped by only having 2 promotion places, this should be increased to 3 or maybe even 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorrallOwl17 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Don't mind chezzie. Don't think they'll come back up though. They've been in a horrendous run of form leading up to the play offs, think they've won 1 in 6, 2 in 10. Which isn't great at all, so i can't see them all of a sudden winning 3 matches in a row against the top 6 teams. Solihull have won 8 out of 10 at home, drawing the other 2 and score a shed load of goals. Can't see them getting past this stage to be honest.
