Chance for Grimsby
Taylor heads well wide from Maguire-Drew’s cross from the right.
To be fair to the visitors they have responded well to going a goal down.
Grimsby miss a sitter!
Almost an instant equaliser for the visitors but Maguire-Drew somehow finishes over the bar from about two yards out. All he had to do was tap it in. Wow.
GOOOOOAAAALLL!!! 1-0
MAGUIRE!!!
Chesterfield lead 1-0 after six minutes. Short corner, Mandeville arrives late and delivers a cross for the unmarked Maguire to head home.
Jeff King is booked in the celebrations.
Chance for Grimsby
Amos drags a shot wide inside the area following a Grimsby set-piece. Decent chance that.
And we’re off!
Cracking atmosphere.
Chesterfield are in their traditional home strip, Grimsby are in red shirts and shorts and black socks.
Stay tuned for all the big moments from the next 90 minutes.
Belgium Spireites
A huge welcome today to nine of the Belgian Spireites - a group of guys who met at university in Brussels and adopted Chesterfield as their common team to support.
Their first Chesterfield game was in February 2012 and ten years later they’ve notched up 42 visits.
Let’s hope Town can reward their efforts with a win today!
