How do you think you'll finish up this season?
12th
If Chesterfield were a TV personality, who would it be and why?
Del Boy Trotter - loveable and hardworking but you know you've gotta move from peckham high rise (saltergate) and you know that bad luck with will follow good fortune (Fa cup money stolen by chairman - missing millions??).
So what do you think of The Millers?
Shocked by departure of Ronnie Moore - happy memories (i'll not say it!) - MASSIVE season for you - consolodation - mid table.
Is your manager barking mad?
Very Astute - try to pass it
Are you happy with your Chairman/Backroom staff?
Lacking investment but the chairman saved the club with massive risk for himself.
Are you definately moving??
We have too IMO
Which team do you want to beat the most this season and why?
Forest - fairly local and a club with massive history 4,000 + at City Ground pain or pleasure?
What sort of line-up can we expect from you?
Young and inexpierienced - injuries already! Roche Hazell Blatherwick Kovacs(if cleared) /O'hare Nicolson Hall Allott Niven Smith Folan/Allison Larkin

Centre Half at moment for me and and unsure of keeper

Who's going up?
Bentford Forest Oldham poss Barnsley
Who's going down?
Yeovil Port Vale Scunthorpe Colchester
Meat & Tatty, Beef n Onion or Chicken Balti?

Sorry its a bit mixed up - All the best for the new season with a 'rookie' manager - I think a top 10 finish would be a good season - you lost a lot of quality in the summer (at div 1 level) in Pollit and Macintosh - Think you've signed a lemon in Burton and prob need a keeper.
MillersMAD would like to thank Geoff for taking time to answer the 20 Questions.
