Chesterfield away guide.

About the Ground
Crewe make another away visit in the Johnstones Paint Trophy and next stop and a chance to get to either Cardiff or the Wembley is Chesterfield.

This will be Crewe's first visit in nearly four years; Crewe secured a 2-0 win in a League One fixture back in February 2003. Goals that day came from David Wright and Rodney Jack.

The ground it self has a capacity of 8,504 and the club have won approval to move to a new 11,000 ground in 2008/09. The away end is an open terrace (not many of them left) and for those who like to sit down can sit in a small area of the Main Stand.

Where to Drink
Two pubs stand out that are very close to the ground and on previous visits I highly recommend The Chesterfield Arms is just round the corner from the away end and with another pub next door The Industry both are ideal for the away supporter.
