The newly developed training ground at Hasland has been named the Erwin Training Ground in memory of the late Erwin Miller. Erwin’s son, Karl, is the managing director of Motan Colortonic, who sponsor the South Stand at the SMH Group Stadium.
Commenting on the decision to sponsor the training ground, Karl said: “I think it’s a great honour and it’s something we wanted to do to remind us and everybody that people need help. My father helped many people. He was a great believer in developing and this is our way of helping the development of the Chesterfield team in the future.”
Marketing manager Bridget Ball said: “The support we receive from the local business community is vital and I would like to thank Karl for his generous support, which is very much appreciated.”
The decision was taken by the board to develop the training ground in order to provide the squad with suitable facilities and attract talent to the club.
After securing the site on a long lease, around £300,000 was spent on a scheme of improvements, including the installation of suitable drainage/irrigation.
Current club sponsors and commercial partners were invited to view the revamped facilities on Monday and the following companies have kindly signed-up to provide sponsorship:
Andrew Herring and Co
Chesterfield College
Dorlec
Drillwell
Ideal Flooring
Leengate Valves
LMD Vacuum
Penny Hydraulics
