Horrible for the bloke involved. James Rowe was a nasty piece of work as well.
Bit of a pattern developing there.
If Chesterfield were away from home, there would be most likely a coach trip back. As the assault took place before that return trip, wouldn't the player still be Chesterfield's responsibility?

The player who did it should face jail time and will hopefully never play again. As much as I dislike Chesterfield after their gross antics off the field, I'm not sure it's the club's fault, unless he was egged on by staff, which I highly doubt. That said, it's certainly 'on-brand.' They seem to attract all sorts of unsavoury characters at every level of the club.
Also, the club's official statement is so weird. Not a single mention of the victim. No wishing him a speedy recovery or sense of regret about what happened. Bizarre PR, really.
I'm glad our club is better than this. Our owners seem to insist on a sense of decency throughout the club, which is a breath of fresh air after the last owner.
