Stadium maintenance update
Over the course of the close season the club and CFU volunteers have been busy maintaining and improving the stadium.
A huge number of projects have been completed by the stadium maintenance team and a number of local companies have helped us make the stadium look better than ever after the CFU inherited the keys to the ground five years ago.

Volunteers required this week
The club are asking for volunteers to come down to the club and help out with a number of jobs around the stadium this week ahead of the new season.

Volunteers meeting reminder
Chester fans are reminded that tomorrow night there is a CFU volunteer event in the Blues Bar with a 7pm start.
The event in October last year was very well attended and in the following months a number of volunteer groups were formed to discuss their activities, issues, plans and ideas.
The established groups currently include – media/communications, fundraising, matchday, office/shop, stadium maintenance, governance, finance and match hospitality/legends lounge.
All current volunteers are invited and as we are in constant need of extra help we will welcome anyone who is interested in getting involved.
For existing volunteers this will also be the opportunity to get your new ID badge for the coming season.
