Ninth-placed Eastleigh play their game in hand at Altrincham this evening (7pm KO) and a win for the visitors will leapfrog them to fifth, with the Spireites dropping out of the play-off positions.

If that happens Town will need to beat Halifax this weekend and hope that either Wrexham or Eastleigh don’t win.

But a draw or defeat for Eastleigh tonight would keep the Spireites’ fate in their own hands.
