City Fans United would like to officially congratulate Chester FC for their successful season culminating in promotion to the Evo-Stik Premier League yesterday.
Following Chester FC’s successful promotion winning campaign, City Fans United are to hold a Promotion Party at Chester racecourse on Friday 20th May. Sponsored by CDHT, the event will be hosted by lifelong Chester fan Jonathan Legard and will see the CFU present their Player of the Year Award at the event.
The latest CFU Seals Lottery was drawn last week during the half time interval of Chester’s last game at the Exacta Stadium against Bamber Bridge.
Over £1000 was given away on Saturday after the latest winners were pulled out by members of the Famous Five, and the following are this month’s lucky Easter bunnies:
So, here we are with 4 games remaining, and Chester FC top of the League having amassed 90 points in a season that has seen the Blues in their maiden season, win 27 league games, and lose on 4 of the 40 played so far.
The team have put 99 goals past their opposition in those 40 games so far, and are hopefully going to make it past the 100 mark on Saturday at Radcliffe, as we begin the first of four crucial games this season.
We are, as they say, at the business end of the campaign, and having guaranteed a play off place in that first season – an achievement which should not go un-noticed for a club rebuilt from scratch in the space of 12 weeks, are within touching distance of lifting a Championship title and promotion at the first time of asking.
Last Friday, City Fans United launched the Big City Census, and so far over 300 have been completed by you the members – there is of course plenty left out there to get their completed Census back in to us, and we are delighted that we have been able to secure a signed Chester FC shirt for a prize draw that will include everyone that sends their Census in, whether by post, e-mail, or by hand!

Last week we mentioned that there would a launch of the ‘Big City Census’ which is the second in depth Survey for all City Fans United members to cast their eyes on, as we look to shape the future of Chester FC – well today and tomorrow will see the Census fly into your inboxes and letterboxes!
This is the chance for all City Fans United members to have their say on what has happened in the last 12 months, and what can happen in the next 12 months as we look to the future.
The latest Seals Lottery Draw was made yesterday on the pitch at Half Time during the Harrogate Railway Athletic game and the winners were picked out by former Chester legends Iain Jenkins & John Thomas, and the following names are the latest Lottery winners, which included the big Bonus Draw:
Next week sees the launch of the ‘Big City Census’ which is the second in depth Survey for all City Fans United members to cast their eyes on, as we look to shape the future of Chester FC.
Today is March 10th 2011.
12 months ago to the very date, Chester City Football Club ceased to exist after the club was liquidated in the High Court in London due to an unpaid tax bill of £26,000.
The future of football in the City of Chester was at great risk, the club which had entertained thousands for 125 years was now on its knees, and the Deva Stadium gates were closed.
Chester City FC was flatlined.
The February Seals Lottery Draw was made at half time during Saturday’s game against Durham City, and John Kelly pulled out the winning names, who each take a share of £945.00:
The next City Fans United meeting will take place on Monday 14th March at the Exacta Stadium Blues Bar, commencing at 7pm.
