The football policing unit for Chesterfield FC matches tweeted: “Please plan ahead & allow extra travel time pre and post match.”

A bumper crowd is expected this evening after the Premier League bound Blades sold their entire initial allocation of tickets and then a supplementary allocation.

It’s likely that more than 2,800 away fans will flock to the Proact and Blades boss Chris Wilder is thought to be sending a strong side.

Chesterfield lost their first home friendly of the summer to Rotherham United on Saturday.
