The Spireites are 20 points clear at the top of the National League with 12 matches remaining.

Town have 82 points, and the most second-placed Barnet can achieve is 98, so five wins and a draw from their remaining games will seal the title for Paul Cook’s men. The two teams meet on Tuesday night at The Hive.

Tickets went on sale to season ticket holders this morning and an allocation of around 1,600-1,700 was snapped up within 20 minutes.

The reverse fixture finished 1-1, with Oldham scoring an added-time equaliser, which sparked a pitch invasion and saw Chesterfield goalkeeper Harry Tyrer shoved to the floor. The Latics were later fined £5,000 by the Football Association.

Oldham, who lost 2-1 at home to Kidderminster Harriers on Saturday, are currently seventh.
