On Tuesday night, if second-place Barnet had lost against Eastleigh, the Spireites would have been declared the National League champions and would have been promoted to the Football League.
However, the Blues will have to wait a little while longer as the Bees defeat the Spitfires 2-1 at The Hive.
But when Town plays Halifax on Wednesday, they could be able to secure it themselves. To succeed, all they have to do is avoid losing.
Tuesday night, when Chesterfield streamed Barnet’s game, supporters congregated in the lounges and on the concourses at the SMH Group Stadium. However, they had to wait for the moment to break out the champagne.
Many fans expressed their preference for the Spireites to win it at Halifax or against Boreham Wood at home on Saturday, rather than accomplishing it without participating.
If the players cross the finish line on Wednesday, it might provide for some unforgettable moments because up to 3,000 Blues fans will be present at The Shay.
