It's the start of a big week for Chesterfield, with today the last day for season ticket discounts.
Indications are that the level of the last few seasons, around 2,000 sold, isn't a million miles away.

Tomorrow evening Chesterfield Council Planning Committee meet to discuss, and hopefully rubber stamp, plans for a new stadium at Whittington Moor, on the now-cleared site of the old Dema glass works.

Officials have recommended the plans to be approved but, if they are sanctioned, there would be another month of deliberation.

The scheme, including the new Tesco superstore, will have to be referred to the Secretary of State for her consideration.

The Government Office of the East Midlands would have 28 days to confirm the scheme or cal a public inquiry.

For the rest of the week, attention switches to manager Lee Richardson.

He's been away from Saltergate for a fortnight, a week on holiday and a week on a management course, so fans are desperate for him to continue with rebuilding the squad.

With no senior goalkeeper, winger or target man-style forward on the roster, those three positions are all desperately needed.

Then a central midfielder is next on everyone's list.

Its 10 years late this new ground but better late than never. What ever happened to the plans to build the stadium at the old greyhound track Wheeldon Mill which is still overgrown and derelict?
