oh happy days

I know why people hate Chester but surely as it's a fairly near away game, we should want them to stay up?

That, and its 6 easy points

I dont like them because they are a physical team whose players are constantly fouling us when we play them. They have ammased a hell of a lot of yellow cards so far this season.

All the time they have Vaughen & Wright involved, in whatever capacity, I can only wish for them to keep sinking. Two horrible little thugs who deserve only failure. I hope Barrow stay up so they can play Chester next season, I wonder if Vaughen will dare show his face there? I wonder if the Barrow fans will be singing "we told you so"?

I'll miss beating them, but I won't miss visiting their shit, overpriced, soulless legoland ground!

agreed , its one of our nearer away trips so it would be better for a team like Grimby or Bournemouth to go down with Luton

as one of the very few who went to both Chester away and Grimsby away this season, I can assure you I enjoyed the experience at Grimsby far more than the trip to Chester. Although I suppose being one of only 23 to see *THAT* goal helped!

Actually, now I think about it, I've made a habit of going to odd places this season, managing Wycombe and Luton too

23 to Grimsby

600 to Chester last season and a good turnout this season.

12 points out of 12 in the league.

Stay up Chester !

but Grimsby was a Tuesday night ( i think) Chester was a Friday night, there is a difference, Been to both and wont miss either

Personally i don't want Chester to go down, i agree with the opinions expressed about the ownership and management of Chester, however i feel its better for us if they stay up likewise i don't want Bury, Rochdale or Bradford to get promoted.

The more northern teams in this league the better, more away supporters at Christie park, greater income, better atmosphere, bit more of an edge to games, also we take more support to these away games than ones based down south, so that can only help the team.

looks like all southern teams coming down from leauge 1 though

Always thought if Chester dropped into the relegation zone they wern't ever getting back out

Me to keith would love to see it happen and for barrow to win. Barrow won yesterday as well and I think if they can just get a couple of more points to jump Weymouth then Weymouth should save them as can't see them getting another win for the rest of the season.

NO, Full Stop
Southports even nearer, but you wouldn't want them polluting league 2, would you?

Couldn't agree more, you should get a knighthood!

Thats three of us!!!!!

Get Vaughan out of football, get Wright out of football, keep Chester. They are (in the majority) really good bunch of people who where a little unfortunate to have been hijacked by a mad american and then promptly jumped in to bed with the devil in disguise.

Real football fans deserve better.

I agree with you Matty, I also have a fondness for the Welsh

We've discussed this before mate, and you've obviously met the right fans, but I've only ever met the big headed "we're a big club you know" and the others who treat you like scum when you go there. I always remember getting a glass bottle thrown at me walking home down Morecambe Rd by five really brave Chester fans in a car going home.

Rather Grimsby go down because they knocked us out of the johnstones paint trophy northen area final. Also, we seem to find it hard against Grimsby but we always do well against Chester.

hope they go down then we draw em in the FA cup then we can see who realy is the bigger club

... but we hope Chester can notch just two more wins before the end of the season.

This Saturday and the last game of the season would be good.

This sounds more like a BURP than a hiccup

What makes me laugh are all the comments about development potential for the ground. A dead end on an out-of-town industrial estate is hardly likely to have customers flocking to it, whatever they develop.

Agreed. Why have another Darlington arena?

Unless I'm missing something it doesn't make any sense for anyone to buy Chester City FC. The land and the stadium are both owned by Chester City Council, so how do you develop something you don't own unless you've got a very very long-term lease, which as far as I can see they dont'.

The club itself is £5 million in debt. So why would anyone buy a football club and then take on that kind of unsecured level of debt? Unless Vaughan writes it off, which I can't see he can afford to.

Finally it is terribly located so the things we're discussing like a hotel, fast food outlets, etc, would have little chance at the arse end of an industrial estate than they would have on a main thoroughfare like Westgate.

If anything the best deal would be to buy Chester City for a £1. Then talk to the accountants about putting into administration, buy it back a la Leeds or Leicester for 5p in the pound or a more manageable debt of £250,000. Accept the points deduction and begin again in the Conference. Then sell the debt to the supporters in exchange for shares in the club, and involvement in the club going forward.

The chances of that happening are next to nil and the merry-go-round will continue for a lot longer.
