The Spireites could book a trip to Wembley on this afternoon as they take on Bromley at the Technique Stadium.
It’s sure to be a great occasion in-front of a sell-out crowd. Paul Cook has stressed his desire all season to book a home semi-final and his wish came true last week when the Blues secured third spot with a 4-0 win over Maidstone.
The lads are excited and a play-off semi-final in-front of a sell-out crowd doesn’t come around often meaning the boys will be looking to do everything they can to put on a show and take the town to Wembley.

On Bromley
The club was founded back in 1892 and have spent their years floating around the non-league pyramid. They were promoted to the National League in 2015 after being crowned champions and have been there ever since.
In 2015 Bromley also reached the final of the FA Trophy, where they lost 5–4 on penalties to Brackley Town. In 1938 the club moved to the current Hayes Lane ground. The record attendance of 10,798 was set during a unique game against a Nigeria XI in September 1948.
This season Bromley finished in 7th place, securing the final play-off spot. It’s sure to be a great occasion for them as they will have big dreams of beating the Spireites and booking a place at Wembley themselves.
