Havent seen it mentioned, but just reading a pretty solid rumour that one of Chesterfields squad is responsible for giving this guy a hiding in the car park - Not a great look for them..

Chesterfield have officially acknowledged an allegation against one of their players, so it looks like this is the case. Oldham player hospitalised with serious injuries. Can't ever remember something like this happening between players off the pitch, quite a story.Quote:

He’ll never play again that’s for sure.
Didn't say financial - Will be interesting to see how the NL view it...
You didn’t.. apologies.
As UTMs states.. I can’t remember another example of a player attacking another player outside of a game.
No apology necessary - Penalty is a broad brush 😉 For me, its a precedent setting scenario as you say, unheard of - I know what we would be asking for is this had happened to Ruben, for example - You can't have your representatives knocking ten bells out of opponents in the car park - Punishing the player in isolation would be least you could expect..
It's the fact they didn't wish hope a quick recovery that doesn't sit well with me
Some are saying it was Jones of Chesterfield, a former team mate of Hope. Maybe it was over an affair with a wife/girlfriend, maybe Jones was acting in self defence, who knows. Without knowing the full story it wouldn't be fair to judge.Quote:
