and live on Freeview channel 276
Chesterfield were proactive in getting their transfer business done early last summer and they have already started on the front-foot by bringing in their first addition in attacker Kane Drummond from Macclesfield.
The Spireites have also been linked with a move for striker Paddy Madden, who is set to leave Stockport County this summer.

The 22-year-old left-footed centre-back came through the academy at Bristol City and has had loan spells at Grimsby Town and AFC Wimbledon.
He signed a three-and-a-half year deal at Pompey in January 2023, after joining for an undisclosed fee.
Towler made 11 appearances in all competitions last season as Portsmouth won the League One title.

However, despite a reported link, the DT understands that there is nothing in it at this stage. That could all change, of course, but for now Towler is fully focused on returning to pre-season training with Portsmouth ahead of the first season back in the Championship.
