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
Lester aside it's still a mightily impressive team manager Lee Richardson (above) has been able to assemble. Irish forward Adam Rooney (left), former Bolton midfielder David Niven and youngster Aaron Downes all add to a strong spine to the outfit. Barry Roche will be hoping to keep a clean sheet after letting his impressive record so far this season start to slip after three games conceding 4 goals. Richardson will hope for more consistency in midfield after many fans have started to worry about the lack of possession and bite in midfield. All will be wishing for a strong end to the season as they see a promising campaign slowly slipping away from them and with others catching the play-off spots (us included) - it’s going to be a nailbiting finish for the Spireites
Jack Lester. Who else really? The former Forest, Sheffield United and Mariners' front man now wears a blue shirt and can still add goals to his already impressive resume. With 23 goals so far this season it's hardly surprising that Lester, who allegedly taught Ronaldo his finest swan dives, that his former gaffer and mentor Monsieur Buckley will be looking at several ways to stop the once hero of the Pontoon. After missing out during our visit to Chesterfield earlier in the year through suspension the Yorkshire born striker will be keen to show the Town faithful what they are missing since he turned a move back to Blundell Park in the summer.

Town have a good record against the Spireites, especially at Blundell Park. Town have only lost one of the last eight games against Chesterfield. P 89 W 38 D 24 L27 F 141 A 114 Chesterfield Head-to-Head (22nd on The Opposition Ladder)

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.
