History of the Stockport County v Chesterfield fixture

Chesterfield pack their bags to visit Stockport County at Edgeley Park on Tuesday evening, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 30 out of 45 times.

The previous match played between the two at Edgeley Park was within the last three years, in February 2005, with Chesterfield inflicting a narrow 1 - 2 defeat upon the Hatters in a League One match.
