Richardson calls for support

Newly-appointed Chesterfield manager Lee Richardson has called on the club's fans to back his side following their relegation to League Two.
Former caretaker boss Richardson was handed the reins on a full-time basis last week but his first game in charge ended in relegation despite the Spireites beating fellow League Two-bound side Bradford City 3-0 at Saltergate.
"I thought both sets of supporters were fantastic and took it on the chin," he told the club's official website.
"Really though, I'm only concerned about Chesterfield supporters and it was great to hear them in full voice supporting the team.
"What I want to say to them is that's it's a fresh start next season and our aim is to strengthen the squad and to make the last full season at Saltergate a memorable one.
"We'll be back and there are a lot of positive things on the horizon."
