Chesterfield to host Sheffield United in pre-season friendly

Chesterfield and the Blades will go head-to-head at the Technique Stadium on Saturday, July 15 at 3pm.

Tickets will be priced at £12 and £6, Town said.

The match will pose a strong test for the Blues against Premier League opposition.

United, managed by Paul Heckingbottomn, were promoted to the top flight this season after finishing as runners-up in the Championship.

As well as this friendly, Chesterfield have also confirmed games at Matlock Town on Tuesday, July 4 (7.45pm) and at home to Derby County on Wednesday, July 19 (7pm).

More pre-season outings will be announced in due course.
