THE Saltergate pitch has got its covers on against the threat of any overnight frost ahead of the local-derby against Mansfield Town this Saturday 22 December 2007, kick-off 1.00pm.

It's the most eagerly awaited fixture at Saltergate this season and the Spireites groundstaff have taken every precaution to ensure the big game goes ahead.

The frost covers have been covering the pitch since Wednesday.

The game is not an all-ticket game for home fans and is all pay on the day.   

Despite that, home supporters are advised to purchase a ticket in advance to avoid any delay at the turnstiles on matchday.

As usual a ticket is always required in advance for entry to the main stand.

Normal matchday prices apply for this match.
