CFC Youth Section – Board Statement
The Board of Chester Football Club would like to take this opportunity to respond to recent social media speculation regarding the future of the Youth Section.
Youth development at Chester FC is viewed as an crucial element of the infrastructure at the club.
The decision to move to a full time first team playing squad and the limited resources available to us to remain in a sustainable financial position, will mean greater reliance on the development of players from within our own structure. Youth development is therefore key to our future and not an option.
