As is traditional, the annual Chesterfield FC Memorial Garden celebration will be held the evening before the first home match.
The event, at which Spireites we have lost over the last 12 months are commemorated, will start at 7pm.
The event is a casual celebration which will, this year, remember Geoff Martin, Sam Ferris, John “Dan” Archer, Billy McEwan, Ivan Hollett and Peter Neale. Those players will have their details added to the Players’ Wall.
Fans will also be commemorated as part of the celebration and there will be details about the plans and progress of the Memorial Garden expansion.
Everyone is welcome to attend on Friday night with the café being open before and after the event.
