Chesterfield re-post a deleted tweet but instead turn off comments after backlash on Twitter to releasing a Union Jack shirt.
On the 24th of March, fans thought the club had posted a tweet that was meant for April Fools Day, with the post getting everyone’s attention rapidly.
After a big reaction reaction with most of it negative, they took it down, leaving some puzzled, before the Spireites took to Twitter again on Tuesday 28th March, posting the shirt alongside a photo of it worn back in the day.
However this time, they’ve turned off the comments, but that isn’t stopping fans from taking to the quote re-tweets.
The club, who sit 4th in the National League, said: “As the only football club to ever play in a Union Jack shirt in the 1890s, Chesterfield FC are proud to introduce a limited edition leisure shirt created to celebrate our unique history and upcoming coronation of King Charles III.
“Join us in commemorating this historic event.
“Prices are as follows:
Adults: £39.95
Kids: £29.95
“Pre-orders are now being taken in the Club Superstore and over the phone.”

@NottsCountyZone: I’m so glad we aren’t an absolute embarrassment like these. 😭
@jtweets92: Definitely already ordered a shipment of these before the initial announcement and now have no choice but to press ahead and sell them on the cheap.
@JakeAR02: Chesterfield’s ridiculousness and tinpottery is really underrated I think. They get a lot of “proper club 👏” stuff but they’re genuinely batshit and have been for years.
@mcandidate:
bought this and then immediately started writing tweets like:
500g Pasta 45p
500g Rice 55p
2kg Maris piper £1
@TH1912__: will be more purchases from rangers fans than chesterfield fans
@jtweets92: Definitely already ordered a shipment of these before the initial announcement and now have no choice but to press ahead and sell them on the cheap.
@GazWiIIiams: Surprised rangers ain’t tried this
@john_mcal: Remind me to not go here in the future 😂
@TheFMVeteranHD: This has to be a joke right? 😂😂😂
@KieKinghornn: Horrendous in just about every single way
@spireitesgroup: If you don’t succeed, try and try again. 😂
@Bavew97: Some 17 year old, with Chesterfield and Rangers in his bio, has just sprinted downstairs asking his mum for £40 and a lift to the club shop
@callen_scfc: Awful that 🤢😂
@greedise: Like like something you’d see in Tenerife for 10 euros
@goronology: I don’t know when chesterfield stop being called chesterfield town but everyone locally and all their fans still just refer to them as simply “town”. This is shit anyway
@alf123_2: Yer lad supports rangers and chesterfield
@ZaaanderSmith: Yours for only £39.95.
@jamesash89: They turned off the replies 😂
@BobbyParker81: Jesus. Fucking. Christ.

@Clarets1938: April fools aint for a few days yet?
@SteelMarshian: Lads. Lads, lads. You’ve posted this once and it was ridiculed even by your own supporters. You’re posting it again with comments turned off because you know it’s going to get slaughtered again. Take the loss, burn the lot if you have to and grow up. 🤔
@ch_ginge: Hahahahahahahaha fucking hell kip of that
The club taking a fiver off the prices and pushing the history of the shirt further to avoid another storm on social media. https://t.co/KfYGIjWoZy pic.twitter.com/Cjn1Agnnt7
