The Match Officials

Saturday 7th of February, Notts County will be facing up against promotion chasing Chesterfield. The Spireites will be hoping a win will help them establish themselves firmly within the play-off places, however a draw or defeat would most likely see them replaced. Chesterfield won't turn up to Meadow Lane allowing us to push them over, it must be a hard working performance from Notts.

The Spireites have won three of their last six games, drawing two and only losing one. Recent wins come against Crawley, Port Vale and Peterborough United.

The Match Officials for the game against Chesterfield will be Keith Stroud, with his two assistants Ben Toner and Ollie Yates. The fourth official will be Michael D'aguilar.
