History of the Chesterfield v Cheltenham Town fixture

Chesterfield are ready to welcome Cheltenham Town to Recreation Ground on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. Of the two previous meetings, the Spireites have won one and drawn one.

The previous match played between the two at Recreation Ground was more than three years back, in December 2002, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a League Division Two match.
