In February 2014, I took part on a one week work experience placement (Monday 24th – Friday 28th) at Chesterfield FC. During the week I worked between the hours of 9am-5pm.
The main entrance to the Proact Stadium.
The sponsor board/interview area in the press room.

On the placement I had the opportunity to write a youth team match report (http://www.chesterfield-fc.co.uk/news/article/20140224-youth-report-1380833.aspx) and wrote numerous pieces of work for the match day programme (example below).
As well as writing a number my own pieces for the programme (FORM GUIDE and NEXT IN TOWN), I also got the chance to interview and then write up a number of staff member's programme notes. Examples include: FROM THE BOARDROOM with CHRIS TURNER, DEVELOPMENT CENTRE with LIAM SUTCLIFFE, ACADEMY UPDATE, CAPTAIN'S COLUMN and finally, the BEST & WORST piece.
During the placement, I was also offered the opportunity to tweet off of the Chesterfield FC official Twitter account. I was given the task of researching the prices of the Wembley merchandise that the clubs superstore was selling, before putting out a tweet advertising the stock. Here are my two tweets and photographs:
Due to the fact that I was working with Nick Johnson, an employee of Sky Sports, I also got the chance to visit Scunthorpe United to interview manager Russ Wilcox for Soccer Saturday. This was a good experience for me as I got to research information for Nick on the recent Scunthorpe vs Portsmouth FC fixture, as well as prepare some questions for him to ask.

Finally, on Monday 3rd March, I got to shadow Nick in the press box at the Chesterfield vs Portsmouth FC match which was shown live on Sky Sports. I also got to write a match report in the press box and this may yet be published on the official club website.
