SPIREITES’ HOME FRIENDLIES ROUND-UP
Three home friendlies against higher opposition saw the Spireites lose to Nottingham Forest and Sheffield United but an impressive victory against Derby County.
Attendances for all three totalled just over 21 thousand fans.
Unfortunately we came out of it with two serious injuries for Paddy Madden (2 months at best) and Raheem Sheckleford (3 months possibly).
Jamie Grimes will hopefully be fit for the season starter against Swindon on August 9th, and Ash Palmer made the bench for Derby.
Three triallists were involved at various times with good minutes under their belts. There was good game time for everyone.
There will be more in-depth reports when the serious football starts.
Final pre-season friendly is Scunthorpe away Friday night August 2nd.
