Can't really argue with anything Joe Acklam has said about Swindon to the Derbyshire Times.  A pretty fair assessment of us right now.

I think Drinan will start over Ofoborh though

[Peter Venkman]

Chesterfield are hoping for a 9k+ attendance against us, with us having sold around 800 tickets so far.

If it breaks 9,000 then it will be their highest 1st game of the season attendance since 1971/72 when they had 12,226 for the visit of near neighbours Notts County.

The newly promoted side will be riding the crest of a wave and will expect to kick off the season with a comfortable win.  i reckon it will finish up as a 1-1 draw.

[Jimmy Quinn]

Close game, Spireites 1 Town 0

Very strong away ticket sales so far all things considering. I will be one among the crowd. Does anyone know where the majority of town fans will be drinking pre-match?

[Legends-Lounge]

Bookies seem to think we’ll get off to a losing start. Kennedy out by 10pm?

[GTXMagnatec]

Sorry for being a negative nancy but....first game of the season, away from home against a promoted team, live on Sky.........can only mean a 2-0 defeat.

Up the Town!

"1 nil to the Swindon Town"

0-0

No shots on target

1-0 town, Jeffery to score 

[magicroundaboutred]

2-1 to the Town. Derby Tup pub accepting away fans.

Need to get through today.
Hoping the game is not postponed due to Police being put on standby for this civil unrest.

I have a feeling this is likely the starting line up (as it stands).

                          Bycroft
             Wright       Hall      Freckleton
Sobowale    Cotterill(Ofoborh)   Clarke            Longelo
                           Glatzel  
                   Smith         Drinan

subs:
Evans
Minturn
McGregor
Dworzak
Ofoborh(Cotterill)
Cain
Khan
King

Unless we go for Drinan on the bench to change things later on and start with.

                          Bycroft
             Wright       Hall      Freckleton
Sobowale    Ofoborh         Clarke            Longelo
                           Cotterill  
                   Smith         Glatzel

Definitely prefer option 2
