Season tickets sales at Chesterfield for the 2026/27 season have gone above the 3,500 mark.

The total is thought to be more than halfway towards last season’s amount with the ‘Early Bird’ deadline due on Thursday.

The Spireites had 9,650 spectators in the ground for Saturday’s final home match of the regular season against Crewe and their seasonal average of more than 8,000 is the fourth best in League Two behind only Notts County, MK Dons and Swindon Town.

"Our fans are brilliant,” manager Paul Cook told the Derbyshire Times. “We had a kit launch recently and the turnout was amazing. When our stadium gets going on a matchday there is no better place.”

A full house at the SMH Group Stadium is virtually guaranteed should the club make it into the play-off semi-finals.

The first legs are scheduled for Sunday, May 10 (3pm and 6pm) and the second legs for Friday, May 15 (7.15pm and 8pm).

Cook added: "When I think of the modern day, there is so much criticism of managers, coaches and players. It is just the world we live in and it has got to be accepted.

"I think on the terrace you have to support the team from minute one to 90. Get behind the boys and cheer them on and what will be will be.”
