No ordinary Sunday night at the SMH – Chesterfield v Notts County picture gallery

Sunday night football isn’t for everyone, but the atmosphere inside the SMH for the League Two play-off tussle with Notts County was as good as any Saturday afternoon.

Chesterfield couldn’t deliver a win for the bulk of the crowd of 10,013 who turned up wanting their team to take an advantage to Nottingham for the second leg.

The noise from both sets of supporters befitted a keenly fought East Midlands derby which was ultimately settled by the only goal of the game, from Jayden Luker.

The Spireites, of course, get a second bite at the cherry on Friday under the lights at Meadow Lane, scene of a league victory there as recently as two months ago.

No-one is giving up hope of a trip to Wembley just yet.

See if you can spot yourself or someone you in our gallery of pictures from the weekend taken by Tina Jenner on behalf of the Derbyshire Times.
