History of the Morecambe v Chesterfield fixture

Chesterfield face a trip to Morecambe at Christie Park on Saturday afternoon, and will hope to continue their unbeaten record at the ground. Most of the previous games have been drawn, but the remainder have resulted in a win for Spireites.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in January 2010, with Chesterfield inflicting a narrow 0 - 1 defeat upon the Shrimps in a League Two match.
