National League champions Chesterfield welcome Swindon Town to the SMH Group Stadium for the opening game of the 2024/25 League Two campaign on Friday night.

The Spireites are back in the English Football League after a six-season exile, and hopes are high that they can emulate Wrexham in earning back-to-back promotions.

Chesterfield boss Paul Cook has previous experience of steering the club to League One after masterminding title success in 2014, and the signing of Paddy Madden, who scored 17 goals for last season's champions Stockport County, suggests they mean business.

Swindon endured a challenging 2023/24 campaign in League Two, limping across the line in 19th place, and another struggle is anticipated despite a raft of new signings during the summer transfer window.

Former Lincoln City boss Mark Kennedy has taken the reins for the new term, and he will be looking for strikers Paul Glatzel and Harry Smith, the latter recruited from relegated Sutton United, to fire his side to a successful season.
