football manager has been charged with sexual assault.
Derbyshire Police said in January, officers received a report of a man having sexually assaulted a woman in Chesterfield.
The offence is alleged to have taken place in November 2021, the force added.
AFC Fylde manager James Rowe, who previously managed Chesterfield Football Club, has been charged and is due before magistrates on 7 November.
Mr Rowe was in charge of the Spireites from November 2020 until leaving by mutual consent in February.
He had earlier been suspended pending an investigation into allegations of misconduct.
Police said Mr Rowe, 39, of Breaston in Derbyshire, was due to appear at Chesterfield Justice Centre.
Chesterfield, which plays in the National League, has declined to comment.
Mr Rowe is currently the manager of AFC Fylde, based in Lancashire.

What's the chances of the last sentence of Fylde's Statement being:

Curtis Weston will take charge of Saturdays F A Cup Game Away at Congleton.

Their owner is a real piece of work, so don't be surprised to see a statement that shows their intent to double down in support of him.

[Tha Knows...]

Their due diligence seems to be the alleged offender telling them nowt happened.

Quite right, he is a vile man and they tend to stick together

Literally. Going over their previous statement is funny, they've written so much but said so little. Tinpot, nasty little club. I know somebody on here who should support them, actually.

Where have you seen this more detailed definition of the charge? All I can see is the term ‘sexual assault’.

Thanks.
However Rowe has been charged with sexual assault- which is an offence in its own right with different sentencing tariffs. As far as I can see.

Given Fylde said they'd "be making a full statement on the morning of Thursday, 29 September 2022" - they've got about 19 minutes left

Be a huge shock if it turns out they've lied again.

Still nothing I guess they're working on the "head in the sand" tactic

My money is on suspension on full pay. It's their only sensible option.

As an adopted Congleton Town fan (born a Spireite, but lived in the Congo for 25 years) I welcome any disruption to Fylde's preparations. It's a sell out for Saturday and the place will be bouncing. Come on the Bears!

Just realised it's live on iPlayer. Might juggle some family stuff around so as to watch that. Would be tempted to drive across if I had time and there were tickets left- nice part of the world.

Likes to cause clubs to have unwanted publicity before a televised match does Mr Rowe...
