Pompey To Visit Chesterfield In FA Cup

Blues on the road in round one

15 October 2023

Pompey have been drawn away to Chesterfield in the first round of the Emirates FA Cup.

The tie wll be played at the SMH Group Stadium on the weekend of November 3-6.

It will see the Blues come up against their League Two title-winning manager Paul Cook, who is in charge of the Spireites.

They currently sit top of the National League standings after dropping just seven points from the opening 15 games.

Chesterfield eased into the first round proper after thrashing Kettering 5-0 on home soil at the weekend.

Former Pompey skipper Tom Naylor was among the scorers in that game, while Michael Jacobs also plays for the Derbyshire outfit, who have Gary Roberts on their coaching staff.

The only previous FA Cup meeting between the sides was a third round contest in January 1969.

It was the Blues who emerged 3-0 winners in that Fratton Park clash, courtesy of a Nick Jennings brace and Albert McCann strike.

It finished goalless when Pompey – then managed by Richie Barker – last visited Chesterfield's patch for a League Two fixture in March 2014.

A confirmed date for the game and ticket information will be announced in due course.
