Grimsby v Cheserfield Preview

The Opposition

Relegation last season amid horrendous financial and boardroom upheaval meant it was time for a new direction for a team whose only reasonable success still is the run that culminated in that epic semi-final 11 years ago. A new stadium, a new look team and a new wave of optimism has swept through Derbyshire as Chesterfield are finally looking up after difficult times. Lying seventh in a tight group where automatic promotion places are up for grabs means nothing but a 100% performance as the season draws to a close. Points are becoming ever more precious as the Saturdays blur in to the next and with only two wins since the start of the year, once to struggling Wrexham and another - albeit an impressive 4-0 win at home to Hereford - means that the scramble for points will become more and more desperate for The Spireites

Last Meeting

Chesterfield 1 Grimsby 2 (Sat 11th August 2007)

The Mariners were very fortunate to say the least to win the game at Saltergate, when Danny North scored a spectacular winner on the stroke of half time utterly against the run of play. It was a miracle Chesterfield never scored sooner, and the ref helped us as he should have sent Newey off and he also gave Town a dodgy penalty.
