The Lookers Vauxhall Stadium is hosting an important Premier League International Cup match between Liverpool u21s and Benfica this Friday 20th November (k.o. 7pm). Chester FC  will receive much needed funds from staging this prestigious fixture including the gate money.  

However we have a home fixture v Woking on Saturday.

Liverpool FC have kindly offered the services of groundsmen to help prepare the pitch following the friday evening game, but we would also like to appeal for volunteers to stay after the game to help us get the stadium ready for our match next day.

Please meet in the East Stand after the final whistle. Refreshments will be provided.

 

The Governance team are looking for more volunteers to join their group to help them work through a major project.

The group are an established team of volunteers who ensure that Chester FC have all the required business processes and procedures in place that we need to be legally compliant and reduce unnecessary risk.

The group are currently reviewing all areas of business governance and are looking for help to complete this major project.

If you have a few hours per week to spare and would like to join a committed and friendly team, we would love to hear from you.

In particular we are looking for the following skills to compliment and assit our existing team: legal compliance, contractual/purchasing experience,  risk/contingency planning, health and safety, and human resources.

It’s hard work, but very rewarding, plus we have fun too! Of paramount importance is willingness and enthusiasm. If you feel you could make a difference and add value to our great team please contact Richard Lynes on the email address below: rich.lynes@gmail.com

Due to a bug in the camp resulting in the sickness of several CFU board members, regretfully tonight’s City Fans United meeting (2/11/15) has been cancelled.

We look forward to seeing all CFU members at our next scheduled meeting which is the AGM, to be held on Monday 26th November.

Chester FC will become the first club in the country to live stream all of its members meetings on the internet after two successful trials.

City Fans United members will now be able to watch the monthly members meetings from wherever they are in the world. The board hope that this will lead to members who live away from the city feeling more involved in the workings of the club despite their geographical distance.

The first meeting to be streamed will be the formal members meeting on Monday November 2nd, starting at 7.30pm. The AGM on November 26th will also be live streamed.

The board of City Fans United would like to remind members that the deadline for applying to stand for election to the board is this Friday, October 23rd.

It has also come to the board’s attention, yesterday, that some members haven’t received the email inviting applications to the board which was sent out on October 5th. We have checked our IT systems for everyone who has contacted the club about this issue and found that the emails have been sent out to everyone who has been in touch so please check your spam folders. This seems to be a particular problem for hotmail accounts.

Just in case the spam filter on your particular email has rejected the email outright we have reproduced the letter sent to members below, with the relevant forms.

The Boards of City Fans United and the Chester FC Community Trust met before Saturday’s match to discuss their joint strategy moving forward.

A wide variety of topics were covered and the two boards agreed on an initial four areas where we will be working together in the short to medium term, namely:
