History of the Chesterfield v Cheltenham Town fixture

Chesterfield prepare to entertain Cheltenham Town at Recreation Ground on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The majority of those games have been won by the Spireites.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Recreation Ground was less than a year ago, in December 2009, the Spireites carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a League Two match.
