Last season started disastrously and after one win in the first nine games, and with the club propping up the league, Graham Barrow was sacked as manager. Chris Casper (left) was then appointed as caretaker manager and almost immediately produced an unbeaten five match run. At the age of 29, he then became the youngest manager in the league when given the full time position. The Shakers had climbed to 16th by Christmas, but an indifferent second half of the season meant the club were dragged back into the relegation fight before confirming league status on the last day of the season.
Ex-Mariner Alan Fettis started the season in goal, but broke his arm in September and has mainly been in reserve since recovering. Glynn Hurst (left) scored the goal for Chesterfield that relegated Town back in 2004 and has nine goals so far this season. Tom Youngs scored twice against Town in the reverse fixture although injury has hampered his season. Paul Scott has been an ever-present this season whilst fellow defender Dave Challinor will also return for his annual booing. Marc Goodfellow joined from Town in the summer, but was released in January after starting only two games.
